The poll also indicates that more than half of the participants believe Trump has the best chance of defeating President Joe Biden in the general election, with 51 percent saying he would definitely beat Biden.
The poll sampled 459 likely Republican primary voters from December 8-15, with a margin of error of ± 5.5 percentage points.
Another CBS News/YouGov poll released the same day shows Trump approaching 60 percent support in Iowa.
“The poll also asked respondents whom they were considering voting for outside of merely who they would back if the election were today. Trump is the lone candidate to have a majority of respondents as considerers at 55 percent, while Haley has the second most at 45 percent,” the report noted.
“Just under one in three respondents are considering DeSantis, while roughly one in five are considering Christie. Seventeen percent contemplate supporting Ramaswamy.”
