Former President Trump holds commanding leads over potential Republican challengers in early 2024 primary states Iowa and South Carolina, according to new Fox Business polls. In Iowa, Trump garnered 46% support compared to 16% for Ron DeSantis and 11% for Tim Scott. In South Carolina, Trump received 48% support to 14% for Nikki Haley and 13% for DeSantis. The polls show Trump with wide leads despite being under investigation by the Justice Department for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. The strong polling numbers indicate Trump remains a formidable front-runner for the 2024 GOP nomination.

  • It’s not really surprising. Trump supporters are cultists at this point.

    But these polls are just too early to mean anything. His supporters didn’t get to this place because they are immune to propaganda. If Murdoch decides to go with a different candidate, plenty of time to mold 40-50 million rural voters.

      I think this is key right here. Once election season really kicks off in January, then we’ll see who the GOP and Murdoch put forward, and then see what the polls have to say. 2024 is going to be an interesting year, and I cannot wait for it to be over.
