Former President Donald Trump holds a near 20-point advantage over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, according to a straw poll taken at the Wisconsin Republican Party convention.
Fifty-three percent of the Wisconsin GOP conventiongoers who participated in WisPolitics’ straw poll support Donald Trump, while 19 percent fewer support DeSantis, who earned 34 percent support among those surveyed.
Out of the 321 ballots cast, no candidate other than Trump or DeSantis received more than 11 votes. Vivek Ramaswamy came in a distant third place, with Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley trailing Ramaswamy.
The straw poll’s findings are aligned with a Public Policy Polling survey released earlier this month that found Trump held a 16-point advantage over the Florida governor. In that survey, 41 percent of Wisconsin Republicans supported Trump, with 25 percent for DeSantis.
The WisPolitics straw poll also found that Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI) is the favorite to challenge Democrat Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) in the 2024 Senate race. Thirty-five percent of respondents chose Tiffany, with Former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke coming in second place at 19 percent.
There are no declared candidates in the Wisconsin U.S. Senate GOP primary thus far.

Are we pushing ourselves over a cliff?
He’s won before. He succeeded. Still wasn’t enough to win a 2nd term. How the wannabe Fetterman got 81 million votes is beyond me. Even a black county in NJ gave Biden more votes than it gave the Kenyan. Did the voting system get corrected? The answer is in what happened in ‘22.
If Newsom worms his way in it should be DeSantis on our side. Clinton and Obama were slick. We can’t beat that.
😂😂
Sit down Ron.
Why? Nobody is interested in him. They don’t want elitist GOPe. People hate them.
Paul Ryan better out and Campaign for the Meatball.
Nah. The Bland Meatball can go be a Governor for FLA.
Are you referring to Rob?
If you ignore the over the top election fraud you will never understand. Such willful ignorance will insure false conclusions.
Polls this far out are absolutely worthless. The campaign is long, and will develop its’ own dynamics. Foolish for anyone to declare a winner now.
Yes, Trump has consistent lead over DeSantis but DeSantis typically does better against Biden than does Trump. And Trump has a history of losing since 2016. So don’t chortle too much, his “lead” is fragile and could lead to another failure in 2024.
No, Breitbart Trump haters, it’s 40 pts
Are there any polls that show Pres Trump vs Biden ?
‘....his “lead” is fragile and could lead to another failure in 2024.’
that’s terrifying. imho, 4 more years of another Democrat Administration will complete their intended ‘transformation’ of America. God help us!
Nobody pumps Trump more than Steve Bannon’s Breitbart.
imho. it is highly possible that over the next 18 months— the democrats will so damage their brand that dems won’t show up to vote and independents will break republican.
pubs would need something like a 15-20 million vote swing to republicans to make up for the fraud and guest voters the dems are bringing to 2024.
could happen. but if things are like they were in 2020 and 2022—the republicans are currently not in the game.
they certainly don’t have game.
Paul Bedard est republican:
“The New Hampshire Journal-Coefficient poll, taken after Trump’s indictment, gave the former president a commanding 49%-23% lead over DeSantis in a head-to-head contest.“
Mbreitbart is not what it used to be
For Context, Cruz won Wisconsin in 2016
