Poll: Trump Holds Huge Lead Among Kentucky Republicans

May 16, 2023

A recent poll revealed a huge victory for former President Donald Trump.

Trump received 70% support from Kentucky Republicans, according to an Emerson College/Fox 56 Lexington poll.

"The poll published Sunday shows that 70 percent of 'very likely' GOP primary voters in Kentucky say they support Trump for the nomination, giving him a 56-point advantage over his nearest potential competitor, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), who is at 14 percent," reports Breitbart. "Trump’s edge has grown by a net 17 points in just one month, as April’s Emerson College/Fox 56 Lexington poll out of Kentucky showed him leading DeSantis 62 percent to 23 percent."

No other potential candidate comes even close to trump. Not one of them receives more than 4% of the vote in the latest poll. Former Vice President Mike Pence receives a dismal 4% of the votes while just 3% back former Governor Nikki Haley of South Carolina.

The poll asked voters if they think "Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election was legitimate or not legitimate."

Twenty-one percent answered that they believe it was legitimate, and a whopping 79% do not think it was legitimate.

The poll sampled 500 very likely Republican primary voters between May 10-12.
