Former President Donald Trump’s massive lead in the Republican presidential primary is not fading as the race heads into the fall, according to a national poll that shows his support jumped 9 percentage points from last month.
said Wednesday that Mr. Trump enjoys support from 59% of voters in September, up from 50% last month, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ support remained flat at 12%.
“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,” said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling. Trump voters are particularly loyal, with 75% of those backing him now saying they plan to stick with them. In a positive trend for Mr. DeSantis, 42% of those supporting him say they will stick with him, compared to 25% who said the same in August.
Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden are split, 45%-45%, in a hypothetical rematch, and Mr. Trump holds a 1-point edge when Green Party candidate Cornel West is added.
