Trump Maintains Strong Lead in Iowa Polls, Rivals Struggle to Gain Traction

A new poll conducted in Iowa shows that high-profile endorsements from Republican politicians and organizations opposed to former President Donald Trump have not had a significant impact on the race for the GOP presidential nomination. The poll reveals that the majority of likely Iowa Republican caucusgoers do not consider these endorsements when deciding their vote choices. Despite Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds endorsing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, 54% of likely GOP caucusgoers say it doesn't matter to their vote, while 31% say it makes them more likely to vote for DeSantis. Trump maintains a significant lead with 51% support, compared to DeSantis' 19%.
