Vivek has passed DeSantis in the polls. It's going to get worse after the first debate on Fox News where Trump will skip and where Vivek will do very well. It will be the end of DeSantis. He'll be going to 4th or 5th place soon.

With Black voters, DeSantis has 2% support, good for 8th place in the field.
Ron DeSantis has fallen behind both Donald Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy in a new national poll, the latest to show the Governor’s slide among GOP Presidential Primary voters.
DeSantis has just 10.4% support in a Cygnal survey conducted from Aug. 1 through Aug. 3, putting him 1 point behind Ramaswamy (11.4%). Trump leads with 53.3% support.
If there is a positive takeaway for DeSantis, other candidates are in single digits, including fourth place Mike Pence, who has 6.6% support.
Still, the Cygnal polling memo spotlights the DeSantis decline in its “insights and analysis” section, noting the Governor “has plummeted from having 29% of the vote in March.”
The crosstabs indicate specific areas of difficulty for DeSantis, none more vividly than Black voters, of whom just 2% back DeSantis. This puts him behind Trump, Ramaswamy, Pence, Chris Christie, Nikki Haley, Larry Elder and Ryan Binkley, suggesting that the Governor’s position that slavery benefited enslaved people isn’t selling with Black Republican voters.
Despite messaging heavily around his wife and his children, and the war on “woke” that has compelled him to fight with The Walt Disney Co. after the entertainment giant dared to question the state’s Parental Rights in Education law, DeSantis is in fourth place among parents, with 7% support. Trump, Ramaswamy and Pence lead with that seemingly critical demographic.
DeSantis’ 6% with independent voters, eligible to vote in open Primaries in places that aren’t Florida, also puts him in fourth place behind those three candidates.
The Governor also, at least according to this poll, lacks regional appeal in the South. While his 8% is good for second place, Trump is at 60% in the region.

"What Americans want, what the GOP base in particular truly desires, is a president who looks at them the way that Mike Pence looks at random Ukrainians." -- Auron MacIntyre, The Blaze (7/20/2023)
GOPe and the Big Money financiers hardest hit!
Time for another shake up in the DeSantis campaign.
The boy is a Lead Balloon.
He’s a good governor. Doesn’t always translate to the Federal level, especially when you choose to surround yourself with McRomBushes.
“Time for another shake up in the DeSantis campaign.”
control, alt, delete. time for another reboot. The great reset 2023
desantis supporters continually claim Trump is not electable in the general election but desantis is. so how is desantis electable in the general if he is appaled by minorities in such a great amount.
Greed destroyed Ron. Wasn’t enough for him to be the most popular governor. He wanted to beat the most popular president who *made* him the governor.
“Editor’s Note: Cygnal pollster Brock McCleary is the pollster for Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy”
I now believe that the source of his problem is that he effectively became a presidential candidate before he even showed up for his first day on the job in his second term as Florida governor. This had two implications in the minds of many voters:
1. They recognized that his entire re-election campaign was a fraud, including everything he said on the campaign trail.
2. They questioned whether he really believed in anything he did as governor in his first term, or if it was all just political grandstanding.
50% of voters support an impeachment probe into President Biden’s alleged illegal influence peddling, including over a quarter of Democrats and just under half of Independents. Over a third of voters strongly support the probe.
Trump’s holds a firm grip on only 24% of GOP primary voters while 38% say they will consider him and other candidates in the primary. Nearly a third (29%) of GOP voters say they will vote for anyone except Trump.
56% of voters support a federal abortion limit of 15 weeks (23% oppose; 21% unsure), including a plurality of Democrats.
31% of voters believe the Secret Service covered up the culprit of the recent cocaine found at the White House and another 25% say they should’ve tried harder to apprehend a suspect. 27% say the investigation, which turned up no suspects, was unbiased and legitimate.
49% of voters say the federal government is being dishonest (24% very dishonest) about what it knows regarding UFOs and other unexplained phenomena.
thanks ... it’s always helpful to pay attention to who’s doing the polling and why ...
Ramaswamy, to his credit, has never lashed out or cursed at President Trump. This means he retains his “goodwill” and in the future he might become a cabinet officer or even VP.
This is an excellent tactic, if he becomes VP, because president Trump can only serve one term, and his VP will be a shoe-in for the nomination in four years.
Given that Vivek is a WEF/Soros Trojan horse, this is pretty terrible news. How stupid are we, anyway?
Vivek is well-financing his Iowa run. Campaign recently rented office in the same building where I have a small office. Large amount of campaign material being delivered there.
That said, Tulsi Gabbard spent a lot of money on Iowa, to no effect.
Vivek seems like a good spokesman for the Trump movement and maybe the VP choice. I’d like the whole new administration filled with outsiders. You can’t trust anyone inside DC.
