A majority of GOP primary voters are backing former President Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential nomination despite a possible indictment over alleged hush money payments to an adult film star, according to a new poll.
said 54% of primary voters back Mr. Trump while 26% want Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, meaning the governor faces his lowest level of support since the poll started tracking the race in December.
Mr. Trump is maintaining his hold on the GOP electorate despite looming legal problems. The ex-president predicted he would be arrested Tuesday on an indictment related to a New York probe of alleged payments to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016 to cover up an alleged sexual encounter. Mr. Trump denies having the encounter and said he hasn’t committed a crime.
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who formally launched a campaign, drew 4% in the Morning Consult poll, placing her fourth behind former Vice President Mike Pence at 7%.
