BOSTON — Former President Donald Trump has a “commanding lead” over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a Massachusetts Republican primary poll conducted after last week’s historic indictment.
More than 75% of Republican primary voters in the poll said Trump’s indictment in New York City was not justified — saying it was a politically motivated attack by a Democratic district attorney.
In the poll of 475 likely Massachusetts Republican presidential primary voters on Friday and Saturday, 45% of the respondents supported Trump, while 21% said they would vote for DeSantis.
