71% of Trump voters in a new CBS News/YouGov poll said they trusted what Trump tells them over just 63% that say the same about friends and family.

Results from a CBS News poll showed that former Republican President Donald Trump is leading in the GOP primary by a far wider margin over his political rivals with many eye-opening statistics.

The poll revealed that Republican voters would renominate the twice-impeached former president despite him becoming the first current or former U.S. President in history to face criminal charges.


The frontrunner of the 2024 presidential primary led with 61% of Republican voters supporting his White House comeback.

Meanwhile, Trump's rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, was the only other GOP challenger who trailed behind Trump in the double-digit percentage range with 16%.

The remaining GOP hopefuls stayed in the single digits.

Vivek Ramaswamy placed third with 7%, and former Republican Vice President Mike Pence came in fourth with 5%.

Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson–who recently met the Republican National Committee's qualifications to participate in this week's primary debate in Milwaukee–came in last with 1%.

One of the alarming results from the CBS News poll found that voters trusted Trump more than they did their own family members, conservative media figures, and religious leaders.

In fact, 71% of voters said they believed Trump was solely the trusted source of information–even though he has reportedly told "30,573 untruths" during his time in Office, according to The Washington Post.

That averages to about 21 lies a day in his four years as President of the United States.

This was followed by 63% of voters who believed in their friends and family, 56% who trusted conservative media figures, and 42% who had faith in religious leaders telling the truth.

People found the results deeply disturbing.











The poll also showed that 77% of GOP voters feel Trump's indictment for his corrupt effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election results is politically motivated.

Trump Sparks Concern After Repeatedly Confusing Alaska With Russia Ahead Of Putin Meeting

President Donald Trump turned heads on Monday after he repeatedly claimed he's going to "Russia" on Friday—very openly confusing the country with the state of Alaska, the actual location where he plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for a highly anticipated summit.

Trump made the mix-up during a press conference about crime in Washington, D.C., where he has already moved to federalize the police and deploy the National Guard, citing inflated crime statistics that compared D.C. to Baghdad and Brasilia.

JB Pritzker Explains Exactly Why Trump Is Pushing His GOP Allies To Redistrict—And He's Spot On

Speaking on NBC's Meet the Press, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker perfectly explained why President Donald Trump is pushing for gerrymandered redistricting in Republican-led states amid pushback from Democrats in Texas.

Redistricting has been all over the news cycle in the days since Texas Democrats fled the state to avoid voting on a new heavily-gerrymandered redistricting map and to deny their GOP colleagues a quorum, the minimum number of lawmakers required to conduct legislative business.

MSNBC Fact-Checks Trump In Real Time As He Blatantly Lies About Crime Rates In DC

President Donald Trump is facing criticism after he was fact-checked by MSNBC in real time as he lied about crime statistics while announcing his decision to federalize police in Washington, D.C., and deploy the National Guard in an effort to fight crime.

Trump's announcement is a significant escalation of his previous attacks on the nation's capital, which he has repeatedly referred to as "crime-infested." He claimed in his remarks to the press that D.C. is “one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the world,” a claim at odds with Justice Department data showing that the city’s crime rate hit a 30-year low last year.
