Trump's inflammatory rhetoric gains support among Iowa Republicans and draws criticism from Democrats and Senate Republicans

A poll conducted in Iowa shows that a plurality of likely Republican caucusgoers in the state are more likely to support former President Donald Trump after his recent comment about illegal immigrants "poisoning the blood of our country." The survey found that 42% of respondents said the statement made them more likely to caucus for Trump, while 28% said it made them less likely to support him. Trump's remarks have been widely criticized, with politicians from both parties denouncing the rhetoric. The poll also revealed that a significant number of GOP caucusgoers were more likely to vote for Trump after his comments about "radical left thugs" and his pledge to crack down on illegal immigration.
