NBC reports that former President Donald Trump
has widened his lead over GOP rivals,
earning 51% of the first choice support in Iowa.
.
According to the latest NBC News/Des Moines
Register/Mediacom poll, Trump's current lead has been
fueled by Republicans who believe he can defeat Joe Biden.
Despite Trump's dominant lead, the poll showed
that a sizable number of voters remain open
to considering Florida Gov.
Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy came in
a distant fourth with 5% and former New Jersey
Gov.
Chris Christie came in at fifth with 4%.
In October, the same poll had Trump
ahead by 27 points, a lead he increased
to 32 points in the most recent poll.
The poll found that Trump's support included 51%
of evangelical Christians, 59% from self-identified
Republicans and 63% of first-time caucusgoers.
NBC reports that not all winners of the Iowa caucus go on to
win the GOP presidential nomination, however, GOP rivals view
the state as a chance to prevent Trump from gaining momentum.
46% of those polled said they could
still be convinced to change their
mind and back another candidate.
However, the poll also found that
among those who say they would support
Trump, 70% say their minds are made up.
A significant 73% of those polled said they believe
that Trump could defeat Joe Biden despite the
various legal challenges facing the former president.

Crisis in Haiti , Could Drive Another Wave of , Illegal Immigration in the US.
'Newsweek' reports that the United States
could be facing another wave of illegal
immigration driven by refugees fleeing Haiti.
On March 11, President Ariel Henry said
he would resign amid widespread gang
violence and a breakdown of law and order.
An estimated 80% of Port-au-Prince,
the Haitian capital, are under
the control of armed gangs.
An estimated 80% of Port-au-Prince,
the Haitian capital, are under

We are alert to that possibility.
The driving conditions in Haiti
could very well press
more people [to migrate], Rebecca Zimmerman, Department of Defense official,
via 'Newsweek'.
Thomas Gift, the head of the Centre on U.S. Politics
at University College London, warned that
a deepening immigration crisis would pose
a serious challenge for the Biden administration.
Fair or unfair, anything that
highlights the immigration
crisis is a net negative
for Biden at the moment, Thomas Gift, the head of the Centre on U.S. Politics
at University College London, via 'Newsweek'.
To the extent that the tragedy
in Haiti puts a new refugee story
in the headlines, it will only make
the immigration issue more
salient for American voters. , Thomas Gift, the head of the Centre on U.S. Politics
at University College London, via 'Newsweek'.
At the same time, Biden's
hands will no doubt be tied
by progressive groups who
will insist that the White House
not repatriate refugees back to
Haiti given the huge political
instability in the country, Thomas Gift, the head of the Centre on U.S. Politics
at University College London, via 'Newsweek'.
According to a Monmouth University survey,
84% of voters in the U.S. consider illegal
immigration a "serious" or "very serious" issue.
In 2021, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis declared
a state of emergency after hundreds of
migrants from Haiti and Cuba arrived by boat.
An estimated 146,000 Haitian migrants
were encountered at the U.S. border
between October 2020 and May 2023
