Former President Donald Trump holds a gigantic Republican presidential primary lead in West Virginia, according to a new East Carolina University (ECU) poll.

Trump received 54% support, followed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis with 9%, in the ECU survey conducted May 22-23 among 957 registered voters.

South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott (4%), former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley (3%), businessman Vivek Ramaswamy (2%) and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (2%) also earned support.

A total of 20% said they remained undecided in the GOP race.

The West Virginia GOP primary is scheduled for May 14.

Also in The Mountain State, Gov. Jim Justice holds a commanding lead in both the GOP primary and the general election against Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., in a potential matchup for Manchin's U.S. Senate seat.

"Although it is still early, Jim Justice is the clear favorite to win in West Virginia's 2024 U.S. Senate election," said Dr. Peter Francia, Director of the ECU Center for Survey Research.
