Ron DeSantis Holds Early Lead Over Donald Trump Among GOP Primary Voters, WSJ Poll Shows

Republican primary voters have high interest in Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as a potential 2024 presidential nominee and view him more favorably than they do former President Donald Trump, a new Wall Street Journal poll shows.

In a hypothetical contest between the two, Mr. DeSantis beats Mr. Trump, 52% to 38%, among likely GOP primary voters contemplating a race in which the first nomination votes will be cast in just over a year.

The poll found that Mr. DeSantis is both well-known and well-liked among Republicans who say they are likely to vote in a party primary or nominating contest, with 86% viewing the Florida governor favorably, compared with 74% who hold a favorable view of Mr. Trump. One in 10 likely GOP primary voters said they didn’t know enough about Mr. DeSantis to venture an opinion of him.

Fake push poll. Gaslighting at it’s worst.

[nwrep]

People want Trump’s policies without his almost Shakespearean temperamental flaws.

[silent majority rising]

Yes, those polls are always accurate and unbiased, right?

[central_va]

WSJ, Fox all pushing fake Desantis support.

[central_va]

Unfortunatly with Desantis you may get 40% of MAGA. Desantis a globalist Free Traitor™

[albie]

Yeah, it’s only 2 years from now so I’m sure this will be consistent and accurate

Are you sure DeSantis will deliver Trump’s policies?

Considering who is funding him i have to question that

[Vaduz]

Hypothetical

And your lottery ticker is a winner.

[Empire_of_Liberty]

Maybe the Left could come out and promise not to cheat against DeSantis. That could help, too.

[central_va]

Trump is running in '24. Desantis will get crushed if he tries to go against Trump.

I predict that you will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.

Get used to the idea.

Where else are you going to go?

Which POTUS was as successful as Trump? Look at what Trump accomplished:

1. Gas price per gallon was about $2.30;
2. Inflation about 1.4%, mortgage rates were half of what they are now;
3. Unemployment was low before Covid and before Blue Governors shut everything down and we were in the midst of a V-shape recovery until January 22, 2021;
4. Tax decrease; tax laws promoted small businesses as well as large;
5. US enjoyed energy independence - No Green Agenda, no war on energy, No Paris Treaty;
6. No war in Ukraine, no threat of nuclear war, NATO paid its way;
7. China was quiet and we were winning the trade war;
8. US companies were bringing home the jobs due to well executed tax treatments;
9. Peace in the Middle East aka Abraham Accords; US Embassy moved to Jerusalem; and Iran was isolated.
10. Got three non-left “I don't know what a woman is” Supreme Court Justices on the bench allowing Roe vs Wade to be overturned.

Who the heck can accomplish the above in four years while being impeached twice and investigated by Obama's Weaponized Agencies? Ryan said, “We probably likely lose the White House. We just did in ’20. So, I think we probably lose the White House with Trump.”

In 2020 Trump earned more popular votes than any Republican presidential candidate in United States history with 74.2 million popular votes. He also received more popular votes in 2016 than any other Republican. He out performed the 62.9 million votes he received in 2016 by 11 million.. Romney received 60.9 million in 2012. McCain received 59.9 million in 2008. George W. Bush received 62.0 million popular votes in 2004, and 50.4 million in 2000.

Biden ostensibly achieve 81.3 million votes in 2020. If Paul Ryan truly believes the 2020 election counts for both candidate were 100% accurate and not impacted by cheating, if Trump had not run for reelection in 2020, what Republican does Ryan believe could have earned enough votes to beat Biden? What Republican does Ryan believe can even beat Trumps 2020 74 million total in 2024 if Trump is not the nominee.

Does Ryan not realize that if Trump is cheated by the party establishment of the 2024 nomination, the conservative base will stay home and the establishment nominee (Pence, Haley, Pompeo, Hogan, etc) will receive far fewer popular votes than Trump did in 2000 or 2024? Ryan is either delusional or is already rooting for a Democrat winning in 2024 no matter who the Republicans nominate.

I miss the days when we weren’t subjected 24/7/365 to politics, campaigns, signs, polls, ads.

Fake push poll. Gaslighting at it’s worst.

LOL!

You must get tired posting on these threads.

Not me. I'm loving them!

Don't worry. Maybe someday we'll see new polls showing Trump is plowing ahead, gaining lost ground and crushing the competition. Gonna flip all those battleground swing states he lost!

And then we'll believe the polls.

[dangus]

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL AND FOX NEWS ARE LYING!!! TRUMP IS GOING TO WIN IN 2024, JUST AS HE RESOUNDINGLY WON ACROSS THE ENTIRE NATION IN 2022! IT’S ALL PART OF HIS PLAN!!!!

There, saved y’all a bunch of posts.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Polls at this point of the electoral cycle are designed to stir up poo.

[Drew68]

Are you sure DeSantis will deliver Trump’s policies?

Trump couldn't deliver Trump's policies.

Maybe DeSantis can.

[central_va]

Desatins offers MAGA Lite™ "1/3 less nationalism".

[libh8er]

WSJ = Murdoch family, who’ve said they will vote Democrat over voting Trump in 2024.

[Ge0ffrey]

OK. Whatever. I’m pro Trump and pro DiSantis. Let the voters decide.
