Trump's Lead Drops Ahead Of Fifth Republican Debate, Early State Votes; DeSantis Gains, Drops Haley To Third Place
Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
Former President Donald Trump's lead in the GOP presidential candidate polls has slightly decreased from a 55-point lead to a 52-point lead, with Ron DeSantis gaining ground and Nikki Haley maintaining third place. The upcoming fifth Republican primary debate on CNN, owned by Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:WBD), will not feature Trump, who will instead participate in a town hall on Fox News, owned by Fox Corporation (NASDAQ:FOX)(NASDAQ:FOXA). The debate is considered very important by 45% of voters, with interest in DeSantis and Haley's perspectives on Trump.
