A Wall Street Journal poll released on Saturday showed that former President Donald Trump has maintained his commanding lead against fellow conservatives vying for the GOP presidential nomination.
The poll, which gathered data from 600 Republican primary voters in August, showed that 59% of surveyed voters support Mr. Trump.
The April poll was much more favorable for Mr. DeSantis, with 37% of surveyed voters throwing their support behind the governor. Though lagging, Mr. DeSantis has consistently polled in second place behind Mr. Trump. Other candidates vying for the nomination have not budged from single-digit polling. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley sits in third place, with 8%.
Sen. Tim Scott, South Carolina Republican, and former Vice President Mike Pence both have 2%, while former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum have garnered support from 1% of surveyed voters, respectively.
