Polling shows Trump leading competitors amid controversy over comments on immigration

Donald Trump continues to maintain a considerable lead over his competitors. Although recent comments made by the former US president on the topic of immigration have sparked controversy. New Fox News polling shows Mr Trump dominating the Republican field and leading US President Joe Biden in a hypothetical rematch. The new survey released shows Mr Trump would beat President Biden by four per cent – 50 to 46 per cent. Mr Trump was in New Hampshire on Saturday, where he had a lot to say about President Biden, his Republican competition – however, his comments on immigration are what generated fierce pushback from Democrats. “I think the real number 15, 16 million people into our country – when they do that, we got a lot of work to do,” Mr Trump said. “They’re poisoning the blood of our country; that’s what they’ve done.”
