Donald Trump is leading Joe Biden in another national poll, by 52 percent to 48 percent, as the elderly Democrat’s approval rating plummets to an almost 20-year low. Trump also dominates the GOP primary field, with a 59-point lead over Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley and a 65-point lead over Ron DeSantis.
According to the new poll, the 45th President enjoys the support of 72 percent of GOP primary voters from January 16th to January 15th. Haley is in a distant second place, at 13 percent. DeSantis, once considered Trump’s most credible rival, is in single digits at just seven percent.
Trump’s lead over Biden among independents is even stronger than his overall lead, at 46 percent support versus 35 percent.
When third-party candidates are included, Trump’s advantage over Biden shrinks only slightly, from four to three points.
Democrat-turned-independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. leads among the also-rans, on 11 percent, while far-left candidates Jill Stein and Cornel West each pick up two percent.
