Trump Leads by Wide Margin in Final Poll Ahead of Iowa Caucus

The Epoch Times Header

Former President Donald Trump holds an undoubtable lead among likely GOP caucusgoers, according to the most respected poll in the Hawkeye State.

Former President Donald Trump cemented his place as the top choice in Iowa, but Nikki Haley has risen to second place.

On Jan. 13, J. Ann Selzerโ€™s Selzer & Co. Iowa caucuses poll published by the Des Moines Register, NBC News, and Mediacom Communications Corp., found former President Trump has 48 percent of likely caucusgoers support.

Significantly behind President Trump, former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley has 20 percent of voters backing her. Following her, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has 16 percent support. Finally, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy has 8 percent support.

โ€œOur grassroots supporters have put us in position to win, and now we have to show up to caucus,โ€œ President Trump said in a statement issued in response to the poll. โ€We have to show up.โ€

In an interview with the Des Moines Register, Ms. Selzer said she does not think Ms. Haleyโ€™s support in the poll will hold up the night of the Republican Party of Iowaโ€™s Caucus.

The poll surveyed 705 likely Republican caucusgoers and was conducted between Jan. 7 and Jan. 12. It carries a margin of error of 3.7 percent.

Moreover, Ms. Selzer said Mr. DeSantisโ€™s group of supporters showed the most commitment to show up and caucus for him. This factor could allow him to rise above Ms. Haley on the evening of Jan. 15, especially considering the subzero conditions across the Hawkeye State.

The Selzer & Co. report was the last of six polls published by various organizations in the final week ahead of the Iowa Caucus. Every poll found President Trump leads by a margin of 28 percent to 41 percent. The Selzer & Co. poll reported the slightest lead for President Trump at 28 percent.

Two of the six polls found Ms. Haley tied with Mr. DeSantis. The rest determined they were tied for second place. Every poll placed Mr. Ramaswamy in fourth.
