Former President Donald Trump has support from more than half of voters likely to attend the Iowa caucuses next month, far more than any rival for the Republican presidential nomination, a new poll from the key state showed.
Trump’s lead, at 51%, was fueled by his support with most evangelical voters and those who said the Jan. 15 contest would be their first time attending a caucus, according to the survey from NBC News, the Des Moines Register and Mediacom.
