Former President Donald Trump continues to dominate the Republican primary field, according to new polling, as his opponents are set to take the debate stage on Wednesday in Miami.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s Republican opponents will duke it out in Florida, but at least for now, they are fighting for second place. The Center Square Voters\u2019 Voice Poll, conducted in conjunction with Noble Predictive Insights, now shows that Trump far outpaces his Republican opposition, even while skipping the debates and facing nearly 100 criminal charges in four separate indictments. How those criminal charges will affect Trump\u2019s candidacy remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

The poll of 2,605 voters includes 1,035 Republicans, 1,074 Democrats, and 496 true Independents, and is among the most comprehensive in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump is continuing to dominate the primary field. We have seen some changers beneath the surface,\u201d David Byler, chief of research at Noble Predictive Insights, told The Center Square. \u201cAs Nikki Haley has shown some strength in the debates and posted some strong fundraising numbers, we\u2019ve seen her star rise and her join clearly a second tier that includes herself and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut really there is only one candidate in the top tier and his name is Donald Trump,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The poll asked likely Republican voters who they would vote for for the 2024 presidential nomination, and Trump, who is not expected to debate Wednesday, has more support than all his challengers combined.<\/p>\n

The poll found Trump leads the Republican field with 59% support among likely voters, trailed by DeSantis at 13% support and Haley, a former ambassador and governor, at 9% support.<\/p>\n

Businessman and author Vivek Ramaswamy, who has made a polarizing splash at his debates, has 7% support while former Vice President Mike Pence, who has since dropped out of the race, is at 5% support.<\/p>\n

U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie are tied at 2% support.<\/p>\n

In addition, 1% of those likely Republican voters said they would vote for \u201cnone of these candidates\u201d and another 1% said they would vote for \u201csomeone else not listed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Notably, the survey was conducted before Pence announced he was withdrawing from the race.<\/p>\n

The Republican primary\u2019s Iowa Caucus is scheduled for Jan. 15 with the yet-to-be-scheduled New Hampshire primary likely soon after. Those early state contests mean less for stronger candidates like Trump but can make all the difference for lower-tier candidates trying to build momentum and raise money for their campaign. Performing well in those races could also set a candidate up to become a viable pick for vice president.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look across the polling, Republicans really want [Trump] to have a third run at the White House,\u201d Byler said, referencing an array of polling from multiple research groups. \u201cYou see that \u201cRepublican voters believe that Trump is electable. They like his policies. They know him from seeing him have a full term in the White House, and right now he is in a very dominant position.\u201d<\/p>\n

The polling also shows that voters who do not have Trump as their first choice are not necessarily \u201cnever Trumpers.\u201d The survey found that even when put in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup with DeSantis or Haley, Trump still beats them by double digits.<\/p>\n

In a faceoff against DeSantis, Trump wins with 68% support among Republican likely voters to DeSantis\u2019 32% support. Against Haley, Trump wins with 73% support to Haley\u2019s 27% support.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe tested specific matchups of [Trump] against Haley and him against DeSantis,\u201d Byler said. \u201cAnd what you saw when you had just a one-on-one matchup \u2026 Trump still cleaned up. This wasn\u2019t a matter of, \u2018oh could the anti-Trump forces consolidate enough and get behind a candidate.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, Trump appears as strong or stronger in this primary than his first Republican primary, where he dominated his opponents.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the 2016 election, Trump was consistently below 50% in the polls and the key question was whether or not his alternatives could coalesce around one candidate who could beat him,\u201d Byler said. \u201cThat is no longer the case. That is no longer the operative question \u2026 According to our polling, Trump is winning 2 to 1 against single candidates who are his strongest opponents, so the question here is, not can the anti-Trump forces unite. The question is, can the anti-Trump forces unite and shave off another 20% of Donald Trump\u2019s vote share, which is a whole other ball game compared to his last run.\u201d<\/p>\n

The poll was conducted by Noble Predictive Insights from Oct. 20-26 of this year with a margin of error of 1.92%.<\/p>\n

The poll weighted each party \u2013 Republicans, Democrats, and True Independents \u2013 independently, according to Noble Predictive. In other words, the Republican subsample is weighted so it matches the national Republican population, and the same is true for Democrats and True Independents.<\/p>\n
