– Former President Donald Trump still leads with 45% support among Republicans, although it has decreased by 6 points.
Trump’s Decline and Continued Dominance
Despite not participating in the debate, Donald Trump remains a dominant force in the Republican party. Here are the key points:
– Trump’s support among Republicans is at 45%, down 6 points from previous polls.
– Trump has recently faced criticism and is the first US president in history to have a mugshot.
– Trump highlighted another poll on Truth Social where he holds a lead over Joe Biden in a potential general election rematch.

Hot Take
Ron DeSantis’s strong performance at the debate has catapulted him into the race as a serious contender, gaining support among Republicans. However, Donald Trump’s influence and loyal fan base continue to dominate the party. It will be interesting to see how the dynamics between these two figures play out in the upcoming presidential campaign.
