Former President and 2024 candidate Donald Trump is far and away ahead of fellow GOP opponents in the latest Morning Consult Poll —despite rumblings that he may be indicted sometime in the next week.
From The New York Post:
Trump leads DeSantis 54% to 26% as the Florida governor, who has yet to formally announce a 2024 presidential run but is expected to be a leading contender, recorded his lowest level of support in the survey since last December, according to the Morning Consult tracking poll.
It was conducted between Friday and Sunday, encompassing two of the days when Trump began posting a series of messages on his Truth Social platform that Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg would arrest him Tuesday over a $130,000 hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels in the weeks before the 2016 election.
“THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!” Trump wrote in an all-caps message to his supporters on Saturday.
Billionaire and Twitter owner Elon Musk predicted that if Donald Trump is actually arrested, he will win the 2024 election in a landslide.
