Donald Trump’s lead over his Republican primary rivals widened in a poll conducted after his fourth indictment, showing the kind of support that’s prompting him to deride this week’s GOP debate.
The CBS News/YouGov poll of likely Republican primary voters found 62% support for the former president and 16% for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, his closest competitor in the race for the GOP nomination, who declined 7 percentage points from a CBS poll in June. Trump polled 61% in the earlier survey.
