Former President Donald Trump has extended his lead against likely 2024 rival Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis by 26 percentage points, according to the first poll since Trump was indicted by the Manhattan district attorney.
Trump was leading DeSantis by 8 percentage points — 47% to 39% — as recently as two weeks ago, but surged to a 57% to 31% advantage among Republican and Republican-leaning voters, a Yahoo News/YouGov survey shows.
It showed a remarkable turnaround for Trump, who in February trailed the Florida governor 45% to 41%.
The poll conducted last Thursday and Friday also found that the former president widened his advantage, going from 44% to 52%, among the larger field of announced and potential 2024 Republican candidates, while DeSantis fell to 21% from 28%.
The surge of support in the poll, released Saturday, reflects the overall level of backing Trump has received from Republican political figures in the wake of District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s indictment in connection to a $130,000 hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels in the weeks before the 2016 election.
