Former President Donald Trump cemented his place as the top choice in the Iowa Caucus, but Nikki Haley has risen to second place.

On Jan. 13, J. Ann Selzer’s Selzer & Co. Iowa caucuses poll published by the Des Moines Register, NBC News, and Mediacom Communications Corp., found former President Trump has 48 percent of likely caucusgoers support.

Significantly behind President Trump, former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley has 20 percent of voters backing her. Following her, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has 16 percent support. Finally, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy has 8 percent support.

“Our grassroots supporters have put us in position to win, and now we have to show up to caucus,“ President Trump said in a statement issued in response to the poll. ”We have to show up.”

In an interview with the Des Moines Register, Ms. Selzer said she does not think Ms. Haley’s support in the poll will hold up the night of the Republican Party of Iowa’s Caucus.

The poll surveyed 705 likely Republican caucusgoers and was conducted between Jan. 7 and Jan. 12. It carries a margin of error of 3.7 percent.

Moreover, Ms. Selzer said Mr. DeSantis’s group of supporters showed the most commitment to show up and caucus for him. This factor could allow him to rise above Ms. Haley on the evening of Jan. 15, especially considering the subzero conditions across the Hawkeye State.

The 2024 Iowa Republican presidential caucuses will be held on January 15, 2024, as part of the Republican Party primaries for the 2024 presidential elections.
