Former President Donald Trump continues to dominate the Republican primary field, more than doubling his closest competitor’s support, according to a YouGov/Economist poll. The poll also found President Joe Biden and Trump are neck and neck in a hypothetical general election race.
Trump sits atop the field with 48 percent of support among registered voters who plan to vote in the GOP primary, placing him 26 points ahead of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) with 22 percent. A YouGov poll conducted for Yahoo News last month showed similar results among a sample of U.S. adults. Trump landed at 48 percent in that poll, while DeSantis was at 24 percent.
