Iowa GOP divided on Trump remaining leader of party: poll
Registered GOP voters in Iowa are divided on whether former President Trump, who was recently hit with his fourth indictment, should remain the leader of the Republican Party, according to a new NBC News/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll.
The poll, published Monday, found that 41 percent of likely caucusgoers believe that Trump should still remain the leader of the Republican Party, while 57 percent of those surveyed say otherwise.
Out of that 57 percent of likely caucusgoers, 26 percent said that Trump was a good president, but it’s time to consider other party leaders. Thirty-one percent of those surveyed said their party needs a new leader who has a different approach and better personal behavior.
This is an 8 point decrease from a similar poll published in June, when 49 percent of Republican respondents said that Trump should continue as the party’s leader, according to the poll.
Forty-two percent of likely Iowa caucus attendees also listed Trump as their first choice ahead of the caucuses, which are slated to happen in January 2024, the poll said.
The poll comes a week since Trump along with 18 of his allies were indicted by a Georgia grand jury on charges tied to efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Trump, who announced his third presidential campaign last November, has been hit with three other indictments this year relating to his business dealings, handling of classified documents and actions following the 2020 election.
The NBC News/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll was conducted between August 13-17, with 406 Iowa voters likely to attend the 2024 caucuses participating in the survey. The poll’s margin of error was 4.9 percentage points.
