Tom Howell Jr., The Washington Times

Former President Donald Trump’s massive lead in the Republican presidential primary is not

fading, according to a national poll that shows his support jumped 9 percentage points from last month. Emerson College Polling said Mr. Trump enjoys support from 59% of voters in September, up from 50% last month, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ support remained flat at 12%. Mr. Trump’s support recovered from a dip following the GOP primary debate in August, in which his competitors had the Milwaukee stage to themselves.
