According to the most recent polling out of Iowa, Trump remains the favorite holding a 32-point lead over DeSantis in a crowded field and a 27-point lead in a head-to-head matchup:
The Donald Trump campaign claims to be “dominating” the Iowa caucuses in a new memo released to media.
The campaign memo is predicated on a report from the Trump-friendly McLaughlin and Associates polling firm, which discusses a poll of 500 likely Iowa Republican caucus participants conducted between June 10 and June 12.
“While Trump is cementing his candidacy as the Republican presidential nominee, DeSantis’ chances are fading away,” McLaughlin asserts.
The pollster cites the latest “head-to-head” polling that shows Trump ahead of DeSantis, 60% to 33%. The Trump +27 spread is 5 points bigger than a poll conducted by the same outfit at the end of April.
Trump’s lead is even bigger in the “larger field,” with the former President’s 51% dwarfing DeSantis’ 19%. U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, at 9%, is a competitive third place in this survey. Former Vice President Mike Pence’s 6% is good for fourth place.
Among voters described as the “most engaged,” Trump is up 55% to 21% for DeSantis, with Scott’s 7% putting him in third again.
Trump-friendly poll or not, even the DeSantis-friendly polls are finding similar numbers in Iowa. For all the time and money spent so far by the DeSantis campaign and allies, there hasn’t been a lot to show for it in terms of growing support.
