Former US President Donald Trump's approval rating surged following his indictment, widening his lead over Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in the race to become the Republican Party's nominee.

According to a poll conducted by Yahoo News and YouGov on March 30-31 with the participation of more than 1,000 Republican or independent voters leaning towards this party, the results show that Mr. Trump is leading by 31% over potential opponent, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

Following in the lead are former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley with 5% and former Vice President Mike Pence with 3%. Of the four, only Mr. Trump and Ms. Haley have announced their 2024 presidential run.

Other candidates received nearly 2% of the vote, while 11% of respondents said they were still unsure.

In addition, Mr. Trump even attracted the support of the majority (52%, up from 44% previously), while his opponent DeSantis dropped sharply to 21% (down from 28%).

At the same time, when the surveyor asked the same question but limited the answer to only two options: Mr. Trump and Mr. DeSantis, the rates corresponding to former President and Governor DeSantis were 57% and 31%, respectively.

According to Yahoo, Mr. Trump has significantly increased the gap with Mr. DeSantis compared to the poll less than 2 weeks ago, when the former President only led the Florida governor by 8% in the direct confrontation.

The latest survey results, however, show a wider divide as Yahoo News-YouGov asked voters in general, not just those who lean Republican.

Also in the survey, 45% of respondents said that Mr. Trump falsified business records to hide the "hush money" payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels. 26% of voters believe that the former President did not know about it, while 29% were unsure./.
