Former President Donald Trump expanded his lead over Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) in Utah by 12 points between March and July, per a poll.
“Our data shows that even in Utah – once a bastion of conservative resistance to Trump – the former president is gaining ground,” the polling outfit’s chief of research, David Byler, said in a release.third in the Utah caucus, garnering 14 percent of the vote, while Sen. Ted Cruz took all 40 delegates with 69 percent of the vote. This poll demonstrates the tide has shifted over the years.
“DeSantis has struggled to find a compelling message or excite the grassroots, and many Republicans rallied to Trump in the aftermath of his indictments,” Byler added. “There’s still time for this primary to shift, but Trump’s position has clearly improved.” Former Vice President Mike Pence’s support was unchanged from March, as he again registered at ten percent in the latest survey. Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy garnered six percent in July’s poll; Noble Predictive Insights did not include him in previous Utah surveys.
