President Donald Trump is leading handily in the great state of Wisconsin, the newest research from Public Policy Polling has shown.
According to their newest data, Wisconsin Republican voters are all in for Trump in 2024, with 54 percent of prospective GOP voters in the Badger State preferring him over Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., who garnered 16 percent.
Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley earned 15 percent in their poll, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie netted five percent.
PPP noted in their survey results, “That 38 point lead for Trump more than doubles his 16 point advantage from our June poll. Since then his support is up 13 points, DeSantis’ is down 9 points, and Haley’s is up by 10.”
President Trump is not the only one who is wildly popular in Wisconsin. Former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke is also Wisconsin GOP voters’ top choice to be the Republican Senate nominee next year.
He has earned 52 percent of voters’ support in PPP’s poll, while the nearest runner-up (former Wisconsin Republican Senate candidate Eric Hovde) earned only seven percent.
In June, Trump led in Wisconsin with 41 percent of the vote, while DeSantis snagged the second position in the polls with 25 percent. In the six months since, Trump has gained considerable ground, DeSantis has lost ground, and Haley has managed to catch up to the Florida governor as his popularity with GOP voters continues to flounder.
In fact, PPP explained in their survey that Haley saw a decline in her net favorability since June, “but she doesn’t seem to actually be building a larger reservoir of GOP voters who like her though, which could limit her ability to continue building support.”
The latest data for this poll was taken from among 503 likely Republican voters between Dec. 11-12. The previous PPP survey of Wisconsin Republican voters was conducted between June 5-6.
