Trump leads in 2024 presidential polling despite the indictment

According to a Reuters/Ipsos survey issued on Monday, 45th U.S. President Donald Trump has increased his lead over his competitors in the 2024 Republican presidential nominee race, despite the fact that he is currently facing criminal charges in New York.

In an earlier poll conducted from March 14th to March 20th, 44% of people who identified as Republicans said they would still choose Trump to be their party’s presidential nominee.

Governor Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) is supported by only 19% of Republican voters, down from 30% last month. Several other likely competitors also received low single-digit votes.

The most recent online survey was conducted between March 31st and April 3rd following the announcement that Trump would be charged for allegedly paying hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 presidential election.

Trump is the very first American president to be indicted in history. On Tuesday, he entered a not-guilty plea in a courtroom in Manhattan, New York.
