Ron DeSantis was surely hoping for a bump from his presidential campaign launch last week. But a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows no sign of improvement.
In fact, the survey of 1,520 U.S. adults, which was conducted from May 25-30, suggests that the Florida governor may have actually lost ground against frontrunner and former President Donald Trump since officially entering the race for the 2024 GOP nomination during a glitchy Twitter Spaces event with the platform’s billionaire owner Elon Musk.
The situation is actually worse than described by the media. Candidate Ron DeSantis cannot hold a public event in the state of Florida, because most of the people who support him are the isolated group immediately around him, and the Selfie-My-Lunch crowd who are disconnected from the average life of a Floridian.
In the state of Florida, support for Ron DeSantis 2024 is maybe in the 15 to 20% range (I’m being generous). Beyond that, he is not liked at all.

People are begining to see how he's all smoke and mirrors....
Oh yeah.....and of course
the desantis supporter "you just wait, desantis isn't running yet! he'll show you then how well he does!"
is now
the desantis supporters "just wait till the primaries, then desantis will blow away Trump"
Ok, here we go, more grist for the mill with this Trump vs. DeSantis situation.
Three publications you can immediately discount as BS - CTH, National File and Gateway Pundit. As soon as you see that as the source, it is safe to ignore it.
2. Unless election fraud is fixed, anyone the GOP nominates will "lose" to the Democrats.
But, but, but...wait until...he gets the right advise from Karl Rove and Paul Ryan.

Is there any need to wonder why desantis supporters would do that?
And one more time:
The voters who pushed Trump over the top in WI, MI and PA were not Republicans. Get that through your heads. They were Obama voters and they switched not to GOP, and not to Trump. They switched to Drain the Swamp and Build the Wall.
DeSantis cannot tap into that because he’s GOPe and his donor base would abandon him, because donors do not want the Swamp drained. They ARE the Swamp.
This is not rocket science, guys. This is about hatred of the status quo, and that status quo is not defined by Biden and Democrats. It is defined by the Swamp.
Upheaval is sought. A desire for upheaval is what elected Trump. DeSantis doesn’t want upheaval and the voters know it.
You’re totally right and this poll will ruin the DeSantis campaign.
I disagree about CTH. Yes, he’s a Trump die hard but Sundance has been right on a variety of issues.
Yes, it does seem like that is very true.
The received the ACME "get Trump" kit in the mail, opened it up, and out pops the Florida Gov.
Meep meep!
Rove, Ryan, and the Bushes pushed DeSantis into running this time. All because they hate Donald Trump.
Ron should’ve waited until 2028. He could’ve had the enthusiastic endorsement of the DJT conservatives if he had.
A very poor strategic move on his part.
Well, whatever. But he really should pull the circulating family pic that has his wife wearing a princess cape and elbow length gloves.
The Globalists who insisted that RDS run couldn’t have DJT ruining their plans for another 4 years.
Since you say it’s true that those sites should be ignored, because the information on the sites is b.s. and can’t be trusted....
you should easily be able to prove that the results of the two polls in the article are false then, or you’re the one that can’t be trusted.
+1
Better luck next time!
