Donald Trump is crushing his Republican rivals, according to a new poll (and really according to all of the recent polls). But that isn’t enough for Trump, who spent the weekend complaining that anyone was daring to run against him at all.
The New York Times/Siena poll finds Trump with 54% support in the Republican presidential primary. He’s trailed, distantly, by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at 17%. No other candidate gets more than 3%. This isn’t an outlier: The result is very close to where Trump and DeSantis stand in the FiveThirtyEight polling average, which puts Trump at 52.4% and DeSantis at 15.5%, though some of the lower-tier candidates exceed 3% on the polling average.
