Former President Donald Trump has topped 60 percent in the latest nationwide 2024 presidential primary poll, gaining steam from his fourth indictment and leaving Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a very distant second place.

In a CBS News/YouGov poll released Sunday, 62 percent of likely GOP primary voters said they planned to back the former president, versus the 16 percent who said they supported DeSantis.

All the other GOP hopefuls remained in single digits - with entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy at 7 percent, former Vice President Mike Pence at 5 percent and Sen. Tim Scott at 3 percent.

While Trump is tying his high water mark for polling, all the other Republican candidates were polling at or below 2 percent.

When likely Republican voters were asked if they were more concerned about Trump trying to overturn the 2020 election versus whether the indictments were politically motivated, a whopping 77 percent chose the latter.

62 percent of likely GOP primary voters planned to back Trump versus 16 percent who are supporting DeSantis. All the other hopefuls remained in single digits - with Vivek Ramaswamy at 7 percent, ex-Vice President Mike Pence at 5 percent and Sen. Tim Scott at 3 percent

More than three-quarters of likely GOP primary voters said they were more concerned about Trump being the target of politically motivated indictments, while just 8 percent said they were more worried about Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Fifteen percent of likely GOP primary voters said they were equally concerned about both.

Trump's latest indictment out of Fulton County, Georgia, was related to his efforts to overturn President Joe Biden's win in that state.

Among Trump supporters, 73 percent said they were sticking by their guy to show support during his legal fights, while 27 percent said that was not a reason.

Fifty percent of likely GOP voters said they thought the GOP primary has been focused too much on the ex-president.

That explains why 91 percent of those polled said that the other GOP candidates should make the case for themselves - and not against Trump - when they're on the debate stage on Wednesday in Milwaukee.

Just 9 percent of those polled believed GOP candidates should spend the debate running against the ex-president.

The CBS/YouGov poll shows entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy in third place, garnering the support of 7 percent of likely Republican primary voters. Additionally, 18 percent of those polled thought Ramaswamy could beat President Joe Biden in a general election

Former Vice President Mike Pence is stuck in fourth place with 5 percent support. Of those polled, 14 percent said they believed that Pence could 'definitely' beat Biden in next November's general election

When asked what they've heard the most about in the 2024 campaign thus far, 44 percent answered Trump, while 40 percent said the economy and 16 percent said social and cultural topics.

Pollsters also found that GOP voters largely believed that Trump would be a winner against President Joe Biden.

Sixty-one percent said that Trump would 'definitely' beat Biden.

That's in comparison to the 35 percent who believed DeSantis could beat the sitting president, followed by 20 percent who believed Scott could win, 18 percent who thought Ramaswamy could be successful, and the 14 percent who held that view about Pence and former U.N. Amb. Nikki Haley.

As DeSantis has seen his campaign sputter, polling shows that fewer Republicans now believe he'd be successful in a general election.

In June, 50 percent said they believed DeSantis could 'definitely' beat Biden.

That number now stands at 35 percent.
