Two new polls show Florida governor Ron DeSantis with a realistic shot of defeating Donald Trump in a 2024 primary.
The former president remains the strong favorite, but he’s under 50 percent in the latest YouGov survey:
GOP Presidential Polling:
Trump: 46%
DeSantis: 21%
Pence: 6%
Haley: 6%
Carlson: 2%

A new poll by Echelon Insights shows that DeSantis’s position has improved in the last few months in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup:
TRUMP v. DESANTIS two-way GOP primary:
Trump 57%
DeSantis 32%
In October, this was Trump +40. Today, it's Trump +25. pic.twitter.com/1vYJYby3EN— Patrick Ruffini (@PatrickRuffini) January 27, 2022
As pollster Patrick Ruffini notes, Trump’s lead over DeSantis is only 16 points among Republicans who have heard of the Florida governor. We are of course still 24 months from the kickoff of presidential primaries and caucuses — plenty of time for average Republican voters to get to know DeSantis.

So a Trump - de Santis ticket it is.
Pence😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think DeSantis could potentially defeat Trump in a head to head matchup but I suspect that if Trump was running DeSantis would not. Thus the real question is whether Trump will run. I’m not sure he will.
I love DJT but DeSantis will get a serious look. DJT has big picture issues. Governors make the best presidents.
I think if Trump were running, he'd be running already. Why wait? But he doesn't want to say he's not running and see the fundraising cash dry up.
NeverTrump clowns who helped get Biden in the White House are ones pushing DeSantis, who is Bobby Jindal 2.0. A fine governor with an R legislature, but can’t win a national election. Trump got 75 million+ legit votes w/ most diverse coalition of any GOP candidate ever.
Well the reverse would blow up middle earth.
Nimrata Randhawa is not eligible.
ron desantis is currently running for reelection for florida governor...
the election is less than 10 months away...
What if he primaries Biden?
Pence and Haley can fuhgeddaboudit.
There is no 2022/2024 elections without fixing 2020.
If 2020 is not fixed, then I wouldn’t call anything that were to happen ever again as an “election”.
If we only got Jindal, we’d have a conservative majority on the Supreme Court today.
The NeverTrumpers here will soon come out of hibernation!!!
If DeSantis beats Trump in the primaries, he will lose the election.
Come out, come out, wherever you are!
It appears Christie is not even registering. Maybe that means he’s under 1%.
National Retard.
