More than four in ten likely Republican primary voters in South Carolina, the second GOP primary state in the nation, want former President Donald Trump to be their party’s 2024 nominee, while three other candidates take double-digit support, according to a poll.
The National Public Affairs poll released Wednesday shows that 41 percent of the 809 respondents back Trump for the GOP nomination. He sits 23 points above his nearest competitor, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), at 18 percent, who finds a pair of opponents within striking distance.
