The ⁢ Des Moines Register/NBC News/Mediacom poll reveals that ⁤43% of likely Republican caucus goers choose Trump as their top pick for president. In comparison, only 16% would choose either Nikki Haley or Ron DeSantis. Trump leads both Haley and DeSantis by a‍ significant ​27% margin.

Trump’s support remains unwavering, with 63% of ‌caucus goers who favor him stating​ that they have made up their minds. ⁢In contrast, ⁣only‍ 30% and 26%⁤ of DeSantis ⁣and Haley supporters ​respectively have firmly decided. Furthermore, 87% of respondents who‌ choose Trump as their first choice are “extremely or very ‍enthusiastic” about ​caucusing for him.

“If anything, he’s showing‍ improvement.”
