Voters of color are a big reason Trump leads the GOP primary | CNN Politics
Former President Donald Trump holds an average double-digit advantage over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in national 2024 Republican primary surveys. That, in itself, isn t notable given Trump, the frontrunner, has been ahead of DeSantis (by far his nearest competitor or potential competitor) since polling began about the race.
But what may surprise is how Trump is ahead. An average of CNN/SSRS and Quinnipiac University polls released this week reveals that Trump s lead may, in large part, be because of his clear edge among potential Republican primary voters of color.
Trump was up an average of 55% to 26% over DeSantis among Republican (and Republican leaning independent) voters of color in an average of the two polls.
Among White Republican voters, the race was well within the margin of error: Trump s 38% to DeSantis 37%.
