Trump Gains On DeSantis "Amongst Nearly Every Voting Bloc"

US

Monmouth University has published a report showing that former President Donald Trump now holds an advantage over his main presidential rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL), amongst nearly every voting bloc.

  • Monmouth: “Trump has made gains among nearly every voting bloc since the start of the year and is especially popular among strong MAGA supporters.”
  • “In a hypothetical head-to-head contest, 47% of Republican voters would choose Trump for the party’s nomination and 46% would pick DeSantis. Just over a month ago, DeSantis (53%) had more support than Trump (40%). In February, DeSantis led Trump among almost every major demographic group. Trump now leads among many of these blocs.”
  • Monmouth director, Patrick Murray: “The movement Trump created is sticking by their standard-bearer. That’s enough for Trump to overcome weaker support among the less MAGA portion of the Republican electorate, at least for now.”
  • Note: Monmouth's report is based on data collected before news broke that Trump may face a criminal indictment in a case related to alleged hush-money paid to adult film start Stormy Daniels.
