Former President Donald Trump is holding a double-digit lead in Wisconsin as the Republican primary field continues to grow, a recent survey from Public Policy Polling revealed.

The survey asked respondents whom they would support in a Republican primary matchup between Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, former Vice President Mike Pence, anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott.

Trump takes the clear lead with 41 percent of Republicans choosing Trump. DeSantis falls 16 points behind with 25 percent support. Pence, who formally jumped into the presidential race this week, came in a distant third place with eight percent support.

Haley and Scott tied for fourth place with five percent support each, and Ramaswamy garnered two percent support.

When asked whom they would choose between just DeSantis and Trump, Trump still took the edge, 43 percent to the Florida governor’s 39 percent. In this head-to-head scenario, 18 percent said they are “not sure.”

The survey also found that 69 percent view Trump favorably, and 65 percent say the same of DeSantis.

The survey was taken June 5-6, 2023, among 507 likely Republican primary voters:

It coincides with several other state-level surveys that tell a similar story, with Trump leading the field.
