The Politics of Donald Trump's Grip Over the Republican Base

The indictments against Donald Trump appear to be helping him in the Republican primary race. In a new poll, former President Trump is now leading a crowded Republican field with 49% support among registered Republican voters. That nearly doubles Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who gets 25% support. Chris Christie, Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Senator Tim Scott, down in single digits. The three leading candidates, Biden, Trump and DeSantis are all under water when it comes to their future.
