A majority of likely Iowa Republican caucusgoers back Donald Trump over his rivals for the GOP nomination, according to a poll.
Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy’s nine percent is good enough for fourth place, and he is followed by Sen. Tim Scott , though the ISU News Service does not report Scott’s exact figure of support. While the field is much deeper than just five candidates, further results were unspecified regarding voters’ first choices.
“The race right now is clearly President Trump, a small second tier of four candidates — DeSantis, Haley, Ramaswamy, and Scott — and then a lot of candidates without much support at all,” ISU Political Science Professor Dave Peterson told the ISU News Service. “Trump’s lead is strong, but it also might be something of a ceiling because most Iowans have strong opinions about him,” he added.
This appears to be the first Iowa GOP caucus poll to show Trump above 50 percent of support in the crowded field, though he has often eclipsed it in hypothetical head-to-head match-ups, according to FiveThirtyEight’sThe poll also finds former Vice President Mike Pence and former Gov. Chris Christie , two of the staunchest Trump critics in the field, to be the least desirable candidates.
CIVIQs sampled 1,128 registered voters, including 434 likely GOP caucusgoers, from September 2 to 7, online. The margin of error for the GOP caucus portion of the poll is ± 5.8 percentage points.
