Former President Donald Trump is opening up with a 35-point lead in the Lone Star State, the latest CWS Research survey found.
The survey asked Republican and independent respondents:
If the upcoming 2024 Republican Primary for president were held today, and the candidates were Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie, Tim Scott, Asa Hutchinson, Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, Vivek Ramaswamy, Doug Burgum, and Will Hurd for whom would you vote?
Trump opens up with support from nearly half of likely 2024 Texas Republican primary voters — 48 percent. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis fell 35 points behind with 13 percent support in the Lone Star State. South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott fell eight points behind with five percent support, followed by former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Vice President Mike Pence, and anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, all of whom saw four percent support.
