GOP contenders may come, but polls show Trump
still dominates
Two things
are happening simultaneously in the Republican presidential primary field: more
candidates are arriving, Donald Trump is staying as popular as ever.
Just take a
look at poll aggregator FiveThirtyEight for evidence of that. Trump’s lead over
other Republicans has only grown in recent weeks, particularly since his
late-March indictment by the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg. Before
that, the gap between him and the Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, wasn’t quite
so immense, but it’s since yawned further.
According
to the New York Times, DeSantis made to donors yesterday a fairly
straightforward argument: he’s more electable than Trump.
“You have
basically three people at this point that are credible in this whole thing:
Biden, Trump and me. And I think of those three, two have a chance to get
elected president – Biden and me, based on all the data in the swing states,
which is not great for the former president and probably insurmountable because
people aren’t going to change their view of him,” he told donors.
That was
his message to a behind-closed-doors gathering of wealthy Republicans. In the
months ahead, we’ll find out what the party’s rank and file think.
