For anyone to defeat former President Trump in the Republican primary, they are going to have to overcome the significant advantages he has with key pillar GOP voter groups, the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll finds.
Despite, or perhaps because of, his legal problems, Republican primary voters continue to say they like Trump — better than anyone in the field. And any argument that he is too weak a candidate to win a general election doesn't appear to hold much water with the party faithful.
Almost two-thirds say they would rather have a candidate who stands on principle than has the best chance to defeat President Biden.
