If Trump ultimately decides against another presidential bid, however, it’s Pence who picks up the most support, according to the poll.
Forty-one percent of GOP voters surveyed said they prefer Pence for the nomination if Trump isn’t on the ballot. Sen. Ted Cruz
The poll suggests that more than a month after leaving the White House, Trump remains the most influential Republican in the country, commanding the support of a loyal base of voters. Despite his loss in November, nearly two-thirds of GOP voters 64 percent believe that Trump actually won and that the election was stolen from him, a false claim that the former president has repeatedly made.

The United States is seeking election to the UN Human Rights Council despite its disproportionate focus on Israel, three years after former president Donald Trump’s administration withdrew over that issue, the US top diplomat told the rights body Wednesday.
“I’m pleased to announce the United States will seek election to the Human Rights Council for the 2022-24 term,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told the council in a video message. “We humbly ask for the support of all UN member states in our bid to return to a seat in this body.”
Epoch Reader Poll: Trump Still Leader of GOP; Prospect of 3rd Party Unpopular
Former President Donald Trump is overwhelmingly seen as the leader of the Republican Party while the prospect of a third party splitting the GOP appears to be unpopular, according to a new survey of more than 28,000 readers of The Epoch Times.
About 82 percent of a total of 28,643 readers said they saw Trump as the “current leader of the GOP.” The second-most-voted figure was Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who received 930 votes around 3 percent of the total surveyed.
Almost 8 percent voted for someone not mentioned on the survey, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.
