CBS NEWS POLL: To the extent the Republican primary is a contest at all right now, it looks like it's one between Donald Trump and a sentiment one might call 'Trump fatigue.'
To the extent the Republican primary is a contest at all right now, it looks like it's one between Donald Trump and a sentiment one might call"Trump fatigue." Here's why: MAGA-sounding ideas are widely held in the Republican electorate, an environment that plays heavily to Trump's advantage.
Because it's so early, CBS News first asked voters which candidates they're considering backing for the Republican nomination, letting them pick as many or as few as they wanted. He not only has majority vote support right now, but a massive amount of consideration on top of that, extending beyond his current voters to those who say they might still back him. Trump also wins the votes of a higher percentage of those considering him than anyone else.
They exemplify this idea of Trump fatigue. The"exhausted" number grows to six in 10 among those who right now rule out even considering Trump — followed by"worried." An anti-woke stance may help DeSantis right now, but it isn't enough on its own to overtake Trump, since Trump has that item covered too.Other factors that could shape the race
Trump also leads among the four in ten voters who want a candidate to favor Christians over other religious groups.
