Tim Scott narrows gap with Ron DeSantis in Iowa.
Sen. Tim Scott Gaining Ground in Iowa Poll
According to a new poll released by Co/efficient and paid for by the Trump campaign, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) is now polling in double digits in the state of Iowa. The survey shows Scott at 10%, putting him in a strong position and gaining ground on Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), who came in second at 16%.
Despite Scott’s rise, former President Donald Trump remains the frontrunner with 46% of likely GOP caucus participants in Iowa supporting him. Trump’s lead is significant, even after his recent clash with Gov. Kim Reynolds (R-IA) for remaining neutral in the 2024 GOP primary.
DeSantis Struggles to Catch Up
Gov. Ron DeSantis has been struggling to make up ground on Trump and has recently attempted to reboot his campaign with a new strategy. He hopes this fresh approach will give his campaign the boost it needs.
The poll was conducted just under six months before the state’s caucuses, which are currently scheduled for Jan. 15, 2024. It also revealed that other GOP candidates, including tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former South Carolina GOP Gov. Nikki Haley, former Vice President Mike Pence, and former New Jersey GOP Gov. Chris Christie, scored single digits at 5% and 3% respectively. Ten percent of likely caucus participants in Iowa remained undecided about the GOP lineup.
Sen. Tim Scott’s Rise
Sen. Tim Scott, who had previously been polling in single digits, is now making significant strides in Iowa. He is set to host a town hall with Gov. Kim Reynolds in Ankeny, Iowa, next Friday, further solidifying his presence in the state.
The Co/efficient poll surveyed 2,283 likely participants in the Republican Iowa caucus from July 15-17 and had a margin of error of 2.6 percentage points.
