According to the survey\u2062 conducted by Kaplan \u200cStrategies, Trump is currently leading the\u200b pack with 48% of Republican primary voters backing him\u200c in his third bid for the White House.<\/p>\n<p>However, the poll also revealed\u200d the rising popularity of Vivek Ramaswamy,\u200b who is virtually tied for second place with\u2063 Gov.

In March, he was \u200conly receiving 1.3% support, but \u200chis vocal support for Trump during his multiple indictments has\u200b boosted his popularity.
