In a domestic surveys, Sam Brown, the Republican nominee for the Nevada Senate, is outnumbering the GOP primary industry by more than 50 points, adding 16 more points to his aid if former president Donald Trump were to support him.
The Tarrance Group polling letter, exclusively obtained by Breitbart News, finds , Brown with 58 percentage help. The now- retired Army captain sits a sizeable 52 points above his nearest opponent, former Nevada State Rep. Jim Marchant ( R ), at just 6 percent.
Previous U.S. ambassador to Iceland Jeff Gunter, who was allegedly a registered Democrat in California until at least last June, has ties to retired Air Force Lt. Col. Tony Grady at three percentage, while seven percent of respondents may choose either another applicant or “none of the above,” and over one in five are undecided.

When voters were questioned about Brown’s support if he received a Trump endorsement, whose endorsements in GOP primaries have a significant impact, 74 percent of the vote indicated that candidate would support him.
The memo notes that “many of this movement would come from those who are currently undecided and are awaiting President Trump’s decision to support a candidate in this race.”
According to Los Angeles County Registrar records obtained and reviewed by Breitbart News, Gunter, who entered the race this month, was a registered California Democrat as of at least August 9, 2023.
Gunter “is a California liberal lying about being MAGA,” according to a source close to the Trump campaign’s press release.
” He donated to Never Trump candidates, did n’t vote for President Trump in 2020, and would be an unmitigated disaster in the general election. Everyone knows Gunter is a fraud and loser”, the source added.
A Republican strategist who works on Senate races likened Gunter’s support to that of former governor in a statement to Breitbart News. One of the Republican nominees for president this cycle, Asa Hutchinson (R-AR ).
Because voters are aware that Jeff Gunter is a Democrat who previously resided in California, according to the strategist,” Jeff Gunter is polling at Asa Hutchinson levels.”
Brown is leaps and bounds above his rivals in terms of both favorability and name recognition. Brown’s favorability registers at 77 percent, while just 8 percent find him unfavorable, and only 9 percent are unfamiliar with him.
Marchant earns a score of 41-11 out of 100 in this area, which ranks him second best. However, he lacks the recognition that Brown does, as nearly three in ten voters have never heard of him. With the Republciation primary on June 11 just two months away as of this writing, 69 percent of respondents have never heard of Grady, and 67 percent do not know of Gunter, both on the favorability front.
Additionally, Marchant has far more of Brown’s support on a second-choice ballot than Gunter, with 30 % of Brown voters choosing the former state representative as their second choice, compared to only 4 percent of voters choosing Gunter.
Between April 7 and April 10, the poll polled 500 likely Republican primary voters. The margin of error ( MOE ) is plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.
An Emerson College/KLAS- TV/The Hill , poll from last month showed that Brown is highly competitive with Sen. Jacky Rosen ( D- NV ) in a hypothetical general election matchup. She sits two points ahead of Brown at 41 percent to 39 percent. Conversely, Marchant trailed by double- digits, and Gunter was nine points back in their hypothetical pairings with Rosen.
The poll sampled 1, 000 registered voters from March 12- 15. The MOE was ± three percent.
