Current Polling: Trump 52.4%, Haley 17.2%, DeSantis 12.6% and Ramaswamy 11.9%
BIG DATA – The Hawkeye State Poll finds Donald Trump holds a dominant lead just ahead of the Iowa Republican Caucuses, with support from caucus-goers above 50%. BIG DATA POLL was the first statewide survey to find the former president hitting the critical 50-percent threshold and first national survey to find support for former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley surpassing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Now, that “reshuffling of the bottom of the deck” nationally has translated into a statistical dead heat for second, third and fourth place in Iowa. With leaners, President Trump leads Ambassador Haley, Governor DeSantis and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, 52.4% to 17.2%, 12.6% and 11.9%, respectively. Since November, the frontrunner gained roughly a point, the ambassador rose 4.4 points from 12.8%, and Ramaswamy gained 6.5 points from 5.4%. Governor DeSantis slipped 4.2 points from 16.8%.
“President Trump has a seemingly insurmountable lead and three of his distant rivals are all close enough to each other that this has become a classic case of momentum versus organization,” BIG DATA POLL Director Rich Baris, said. “Ambassador Haley has momentum, albeit potentially fizzling, while Governor DeSantis has touted a superior organization.” (more)
