Former President Donald Trump now leads his nearest Republican rivals by nearly 30 points in Iowa, with two-thirds of likely GOP caucusgoers dismissing the severity of his legal challenges, according to the second NBC News/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll of the state conducted by J. Ann Selzer. The survey also finds former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley moving up to a tie for second place with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, both of whom remain popular with Iowa Republicans ahead of the Jan.
Haley is the second choice of 17% of likely caucusgoers, with 22% more saying they’re actively considering her. “I feel like she’s fresh, and I liked what she said about how the things that she did as governor of South Carolina — I mean … she’s a strong woman,” said Kristy Beckwith, 60, of Ankeny, Iowa. And 10% have Scott as their second choice, with 32% saying they’re actively considering him.
