New polling shows former president Trump with a roughly 20 point lead over his closest Republican rival in a poll of Georgia GOP likely voters.
The poll was conducted April 2-7 and 10-13 by the University of Georgia’s School of Public and International Affairs about about a thousand likely Republican primary voters.
Trump led the field with 51% following by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis at 30%…with every other Republican contender lagging in single digits. DeSantis was only competitive among smaller blocs of voters including younger Republicans and those with annual incomes above $100,000.
In a hypothetical head-to-head matchup, DeSantis fared slightly better. He trailed Trump 51% to 41%, with about 8% of respondents undecided.
