At the debate this week, voters want candidates to focus on making the case for themselves — not against Trump.
/ CBS News
His nearest — but not too near — rival Ron DeSantis has fallen even further back. Everyone else is in single digits. There may be a rally effect: a sizable three-quarters of Trump's voters include those who"show support for his legal troubles" as one rationale, among others, for considering him in the first place.
The context here is that Republican primary voters believe the political system is corrupt at an even higher rate than Americans overall do. That could mean perceiving Trump as railing against — or prosecuted by — that system might well make him seem, from their perspective, like the one telling a larger truth.
It could be strategic: Republican voters think Trump has the best shot to beat Biden — remember, many think he already did. And that's really important to them, outweighing even some disagreements on policy. And then, in particular, a large majority of primary voters would want a candidate similar to Trump, if it were not him. So, they're picking the original, as it were.If there is, that path looks pretty narrow.
