Victory Insights found the Florida Governor holding a lead in November. But that's gone now. Gov. Ron DeSantis handily won re-election last cycle. But a new poll shows he may lose his home state in a GOP Primary for President against Donald Trump.
Victory Insights, a polling firm with a presence in Naples, found Trump beating DeSantis both within a wide field and in a head-to-head matchup.
Among likely GOP Primary voters, Trump comes out on top in a crowded field with almost 43% of the vote, while DeSantis lands at just under 35%.
Author and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy pulls in at a distant third with about 4%, while Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley has support of just over 3%. Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson shows with a little over 1%, while longshot businessman Perry Johnson barely polls above 0%.
That puts Trump’s lead outside the poll’s 3.1-percentage-point margin of error.
But in a head-to-head contest between Trump and DeSantis, the Florida Governor actually polls worse. In such a situation, Trump wins about 47% to DeSantis’ 32%.
This marks a significant change since the same polling firm tested the field with Florida voters in November. At that point, DeSantis led Trump 47% to 37%.
“Five months later, things have changed substantially,” reads a polling memo.
“Several other candidates have announced their candidacies, and Trump has been indicted and arrested in a highly politicized move by the Manhattan DA. DeSantis still hasn’t officially announced his candidacy, but his messaging, book tour, and PAC activity certainly point to a presidential run in the coming months. However, it’s beginning to look more like an uphill battle than previously believed.”

Trump is afraid of Desantis. I bet the age difference enrages him. 76 vs. 44
This Tokyo Rove horse shiite will stop after a while but it is annoying anyway.
NO ONE but Donald John Trump will be the Republican nominee. If the rodents’ voter fraud is defeated he will win by 10 points.
“Trump has all the right enemies, DeSantis has all the wrong friends.”
Very good summary
“Takes back Florida”

Ouch, that has to really hurt!
Oh, that is hilarious and so spot-on for a Meme!
