Donald Trump’s Lead Grows by Double Digits in Texas, Ron DeSantis Falls
Breitbart ^ | 13 Sep 2023 | HANNAH BLEAU

Posted on 09/13/2023 11:01:56 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

Former President Donald Trump has jumped 13 points in Texas’s Republican primary race since July, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has lost steam, a Defend Texas Liberty PAC/CWS Research survey released this week found.

The survey asked likely 2024 Texas Republican primary voters whom they would support if the GOP primary were held today.

A majority, 61 percent, said they would support Trump, reflecting a 13 point bump from the 48 percent who chose him in the July issue poll. No other candidate listed saw a bump even close to Trump’s.

On the contrary, DeSantis came in a distant second with ten percent support— three points lower than the 13 percent he saw in July.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley saw a two-point increase, moving from three percent to five percent. Former Vice President Mike Pence also moved from four percent support to five percent support. Three percent chose anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy— a one-point drop from July. Two percent chose New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, which also reflects a two-point drop from July.

Just one percent chose former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, and one percent chose South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott. That reflects a four-point drop from July for Scott.

📊 2024 TEXAS GOP PRIMARY

Trump 61% (+13)
DeSantis 10% (-3)
Haley 5% (+2)
Pence 5% (+1)
Ramaswamy 3% (-1)
Christie 2% (-2)
Hurd 2% (-1)
Scott 1% (-4)
Hutchinson 1%
.
H2H:
Trump 62% (+9)
DeSantis 24% (-5)

The survey was taken September 1-4, 2023, among 406 respondents and has a +/- 4.864 percent margin of error.

It comes as Trump continues to dominate in both national and state-level surveys across the board, consistently besting his challengers by double digits.

I agree. Every day that goes by and continues this campaign the more he alienates himself to the voters and any potential future in politics. Go home, Ron. See you on a few years.

I wonder...now that Desantis is being pushed out by the GOPe that convinced him to run in the first place, are all those Desantis fanboys suddenly going to be cheering on Nicky? After all, she is now the new anointed one.

LMAO....this should be fun.

Don’t try to reason with the single digit IQ Trump disciples.

Anyone but their perpetually-indicted quasi-woke figurehead is a threat to their religion.

DeSantis is a fantastic governor, and more of a conservative than Trump could ever be.

Don’t forget to pray to your savior tonight.

Oh that’s right, you never stop worshipping him.

What a maroon.

It's Trump or bust. It looks like you will choose bust. Enjoy your communist overlords, if they let you live that long. Let me add, Ron DeSantis will never be POTUS.

Personally, I would support candidates other than Trump provided they meet my qualification criteria.

They must not have held political office for over 6 yrs. There is no other way to ensure they are not part of the Swamp.

That is the beginning qualification. There are others, and none of them have anything to do with tax or spend. But no point in addressing the others until we get past beginning qualification of NOT SWAMP.

The Vivek guy will need to pass other qualifications, but as of now he is the only alternative qualified.

What’s the point in posting polls when the rigged voting machines can still connect with the National Preemptive Emergency Cellular Network to place votes in the most needed races in the swing states, like the 2020 election showed?

DeSantis’ fine conservative record speaks for itself

Actually, Florida's fine conservative record speaks for the importance of local, statehouse elections. The only thing we truly know about the governor is he's figured out which end of a signing pen the ink flows from.

all those Desantis fanboys

There's like 5 of them.

I suspect they'll do the same thing Cruz fanboys did. They laid low for a few years while taking random and ineffective potshots at Trump.

Listless vessels.
