Trump 2024 Campaign Continues To Gather Momentum

US

A new poll fromI&I/TIPP finds former President Donald Trump has increasing his lead in Republican presidential polling following his indictment in a Department of Justice probe.

  • I&I: Among [Republican and Republican-leaning respondents], 57% said they would support Trump for president. That compares to 53% in July and 55% in June. So, if anything, Trump’s party support is strengthening, not weakening [since being charged in relation to the January 6 probe]."
  • I&I: "Trump’s main rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis [R-FL], appears to be losing steam. Some 12% of GOP voters in August said they would vote for DeSantis, down from 14% in July and 19% in June.
  • I&I: "Only one potential rival seems to be rising in the polls: Entrepreneur and author Vivek Ramaswamy, who garners 8% support in August, up from 7% in July and just 2% in June."
  • Politico notes: "There’s no doubt Ramaswamy is rising. The only question is how much. While he’s at 6.1 percent in the RealClearPolitics average now, he was at 3.1 percent a month ago and 2.2 percent the month prior."
