Former President Donald Trump holds a 47-point lead in the Republican presidential primary race for his largest cushion since Emerson College Polling began tracking in June 2022.
Trump received 59% support, a 9-point increase from August, in the September Emerson College Polling national survey.
"The Trump voter remains resilient, and despite a dip in August's post-debate poll, Trump has now expanded his lead and has improved his position from before the first debate," said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling.
