Today’s Coverage by RSBN-TV
Recent polling data from Quinnipiac University shows that Trump is gaining traction not only in Iowa but also in key swing states. In Pennsylvania, 47% of respondents indicated they would vote for Trump over Biden, who garnered 45% support.
“This two-point lead could be a game-changer, given the tight race between Trump and Biden in 2016,” said Tim Malloy, commenting on the poll results.
Trump’s Standing in the GOP
Current data from Interactive polls indicate that Trump continues to lead among GOP candidates, with a remarkable 56-point lead over his closest competitor, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who has a nine percent approval rate. “The gap is widening, and it’s becoming increasingly clear that Trump is the GOP frontrunner,” said a political analyst from Axios.
Despite Trump’s controversial past and multiple felony indictments, many former critics within the Republican party are beginning to see his nomination as inevitable. “We’ve concluded that the GOP base can’t quit Trump,” said Sarah Longwell, leader of the Republican Accountability PAC, which recently ceased its anti-Trump spending in Iowa.
Trump has been increasingly focusing on Iowa, aiming to secure his position in this early primary state. “His frequent visits and campaign activities here indicate a strategic focus on Iowa,” said a local political observer.
