Exit polls are a valuable tool to help understand primary voters’ demographic profile and political views. The share of Republican primary voters and caucusgoers holding these views about Trump’s fitness for office and the 2020 election varies from state to state, even as the dominant sentiment remains largely the same. Exit poll data this year finds GOP primary voters divided in their desired approach to abortion policy in a post-Roe v. Wade era. Trump has also racked up support among those primary voters who are the most acutely unhappy with the way things are going in the US. Exit polls for the Iowa Republican caucuses and the New Hampshire, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and California Republican presidential primaries were conducted by Edison Research on behalf of the National Election Pool.

As his rivals prepare for the two-hour showdown on Fox News, Trump’s campaign is attempting to counter-program the debate. But Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. and other surrogates planned to travel to Milwaukee, where they would have had opportunities to weigh in on national broadcasts before and after the debate in the spin room. Ahead of the debate, some candidates are offering previews of their lines of attack – including criticizing Trump for choosing not to participate. “Every one of us who have qualified for that debate stage ought to be on the stage willing to square off and answer those tough questions,” Pence said. Overall, 42% say Trump is their first choice, followed by 19% supporting DeSantis.

☆ The majority of likely Iowa GOP caucusgoers would rather have a candidate they agree with on issues than one that can beat Biden: poll
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-04 | by ( Madison Hall | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

A recent New York Times survey found that the majority of likely Iowa GOP caucusgoers prefer a candidate they agree with on issues over one who can beat Biden in 2024. The poll, which was taken between July 28 and August 1, found that 52 percent of likely Iowa GOP caucusgoers were more likely to support a candidate they "agree with most on the issues" compared to the 44 percent who'd prefer one who has the "best chance to beat Joe Biden" in the 2024 election. The survey also asked participants if the phrase "able to beat Joe Biden" better described former President Donald Trump or DeSantis. Precisely half of likely Iowa GOP caucusgoers said it described Trump "a lot" or "somewhat better" compared to 40 percent who said DeSantis. Results from the New York Times poll also showcase a potential strategy DeSantis can use to win over likely GOP caucusgoers: move even more to the right.
