Former President Donald Trump still leads the Republican primary field by double digits, even if hypothetically convicted of a crime, a recent Yahoo!/YouGov survey found.
The survey asked Republicans and Republican-leaners, “If Trump is convicted of a serious crime in the coming months, who would you vote for in your state’s 2024 Republican primary?”
In that scenario, Trump still maintains a double-digit lead among his GOP challengers with 35 percent support. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis comes 15 points behind with 20 percent support, followed by anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy (nine percent), South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott (five percent), and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Vice President Mike Pence, and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, all of whom see three percent support each. Another 17 percent say they are “not sure.”
