Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said “The Trump voter remains resilient, and despite a dip in August’s post-debate poll, Trump has now expanded his lead and has improved his position from before the first debate.”
The following contenders in the poll rankings were businessman Vivek Ramaswamy (7%), former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (5%), former Vice President Mike Pence (5%), former U.N. Ambassador and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (3%), and Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., (2%). Additionally, 5% of voters remained undecided.
DeSantis was the sole GOP candidate to reach double-digit support with 12 percent.
Matt Taglia, senior director at Emerson College Polling, said “Seventy-five percent of Trump voters say they will definitely support him in the Republican primary, up four points since the August survey, while 42 percent say the same of Ron DeSantis — a significant hardening among supporters of DeSantis since August, when 25 percent said the same.” (Trending: 22 Chilling Facts About Biden’s Impeachment)
Kimball said “Republican and independent voters think Biden’s age makes the job of president too difficult, at 79 percent and 54 percent respectively, while only a third of Democrats say the same.”
“Of those who think Biden’s age makes the job too difficult, 67 percent plan to vote for Trump in a general election, while 21 percent would vote for Biden, and 12 percent are unsure.” Kimball added. (Trending: Kari Lake Blasts ‘Woke’ NFL)
While a previous survey had shown President Biden with a lead over former President Trump, the latest numbers tell a different story.
Leading experts agree that Trump’s commanding position in most surveys is leaving the rest of the GOP contenders in the dust and all eyes are on Trump as he continues to make waves in the political arena.
