With less than three months until the state’s primary election, Donald Trump continues to dominate among his Republican challengers.
That’s according to new polling of Republican primary voters conducted by CWS Research, which shows the former president leading the field of Republican presidential candidates with 61 percent of the vote.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley are tied for second with 11 percent each. Other candidates registered in the single digits.
In a head-to-head between Trump and DeSantis, Trump leads 63 percent to 22 percent, with 14 percent undecided.
Trump is even more dominant when paired against Haley, polling at 70 percent to Haley’s 20 percent, with 10 percent undecided.
When polled on issues, 72 percent of Republican voters say they want to see a school choice program as proposed by Gov. Greg Abbott. That effort was killed in the Texas House.
Additionally, a majority of Republican voters supported financial aid to Israel.
“Our polling reveals that Texans are strong supporters of school choice for every Texas child, and that they support getting vital aid to Israel as they fight the Hamas terrorists,” said Luke Macias, the president of the Defend Texas Liberty PAC that commissioned the poll. “Grassroots Texans support Donald Trump, they support Israel, and they support school choice. We are also pleased to see that a candidate’s stance on school choice matters to Republican voters as they consider whether or not to re-elect RINO’s who voted with teacher unions earlier this month.”
