After an active primary season, Donald Trump has faced a decline in support among Republican voters, a recent poll shows. Trump, who launched his presidential bid in 2015, has held the lead as the top choice for Republican voters for much of the campaign. In a recent poll conducted, he garnered the highest share of republican primary votes. However, this percentage is lower than his standings in previous polls among Republican voters. Trump’s persisting claims of voter fraud and his lack of acceptance of the 2020 election results have dented his popularity. His approval rating among Republicans recently plunged to 70%, a significant drop from previous ratings.
