Despite the expected emergence of Ron DeSantis into the Republican primary race, Donald Trump continues to sweep the polls. According to the latest published surveys, the former president is more than 30 points ahead of the Florida governor, the second preferences of conservative voters, with the difference reaching as much as 56 points in some cases. The forecasts for the rest of the official candidates barely exceed 10% overall, to which should be added the 5.3% they give to former Vice President Mike Pence, who has not yet stepped into the race.
The Stormy Daniels case spurred popularity and support for Trump, who went from a tight race with DeSantis, in which he even trailed behind his former running mate, to not even seeing his rivals in the rearview mirror.
