Former President Donald Trump’s support remains “unmoved” after his third indictment, this week’s Morning Consult survey found.
As is consistent with past surveys, Trump continues to lead the entire GOP field with majority support. This week, 59 percent support the former president, representing a one-point uptick since last week. In other words, the latest indictment and arraignment have had no negative effect on Trump among Republicans.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis remained in second place, returning to 16 percent support after dipping to 15 percent last week. Trump has maintained his 43 point lead over DeSantis, which he boasted last week as well. Morning Consult noted the DeSantis campaign’s reset “appears to have had a negligible immediate impact on his standing in the contest.”
