The poll reflects a mammoth 23-point swing toward DeSantis from June, when Trump was the favorite among 38% of respondents and DeSantis was favored by only 17%, and an even bigger 46% reversal from November 2021, when Trump led 56%-12%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith support barely half what it was a year ago in a time when DeSantis\u2019s vote has nearly tripled, Trump becomes a severe underdog in the race,\u201d Rick Shaftan of Neighborhood Research and Media commented.<\/p>\n<p>Iowa is a caucus state rather than one that features a primary, whom voters select as a second choice matters. When respondents were asked which candidate would be their second choice, 48% of respondents selected DeSantis, 42% picked Trump, 5% chose Pence and 1% chose Noem, whose state lies adjacent to Iowa.<\/p>\n<p>As opposed to other states\u2019 primaries, in the Iowa caucuses no secret ballot and no absentee participation is permitted; the delegates representing Iowa at the Republican National Convention are divided proportionally to the statewide vote.<\/p>\n<p>30% of respondents expressed their indecision about which candidate to select. Other candidates only received miniscule support, with former Vice President Mike Pence at 3% and former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson languished at under 1%.<\/p>\n<p>Also on Monday, a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/f\/?id=00000184-79d2-d07e-a5fd-ffdb32390000&#038;nname=playbook&#038;nid=0000014f-1646-d88f-a1cf-5f46b7bd0000&#038;nrid=00000159-d250-d519-adf9-de52aaa60000&#038;nlid=630318\">Morning Consult\/Politico poll<\/a>\u00a0was released showing 65% of voters felt Trump should \u201cprobably\u201d or \u201cdefinitely\u201d not run; 53% asserted he \u201cdefinitely\u201d should not run.<\/p>\n<p>Last Friday, a <a href=\"https:\/\/today.yougov.com\/topics\/politics\/articles-reports\/2022\/11\/11\/how-americans-feel-about-prospect-divided-congress\">YouGov national poll<\/a> showed 42% of Republicans and \u201cRepublican leaners\u201d favored DeSantis as the 2024 GOP presidential nominee; Trump followed at 35%.<\/p>\n<p>Iowa\u2019s Republican Party chair wants to make it as difficult as possible for national Democrats to dethrone his state from its early perch in the presidential primary season, even if it means moving the state\u2019s caucuses up by several months.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats have suggested they might drop Iowa from their primary schedule because they feel it is not ethnically diverse enough. Iowa GOP Chair Jeff Kaufmann <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2024-election\/iowa-gop-threatens-move-caucuses-halloween-mess-democrats-rcna57971\">responded harshly<\/a>, saying, \u201cThis is the Democrats that are pulling this crap and I\u2019m telling you right now, they don\u2019t want to play chicken with me.
