A poll released on Thursday is giving hope to two of the most \u200cprominent non-Trump candidates in the field.<\/p>\n<p>Biotech\u200c entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and Gov.

Yet the pointed\u2063 Ramaswamy attacks were also a tacit acknowledgment that the 2024 field \u200clikely sees cracks\u200b in DeSantis&#8217;s second-place status that they are willing to exploit in\u200d order to secure the nomination.<\/p>\n<p>Other\u2063 issues of concern for voters included the 27% \u2063who said \u200cthe cost of living was\u200d a top concern, as was\u2063 immigration at 17%, jobs and the economy at 16%, and political corruption at 13%.<\/p>\n<p>The survey of \u200c1,026 \u2064likely Republican \u200bvoters was conducted Aug. 31-Sept. 4 and has a margin of \u200derror of plus or minus\u2063 3.8 percentage points.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO\u200c READ MORE \u2063FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Debate over Trump&#8217;s successor in the GOP primary continues as he remains dominant.
