The Bloom Is Off the Ruse – Post Launch Polling Shows DeSantis Losing Support, Not Gaining

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.

DeSantis coulda been a cotendah. All he had to do was sit and be governor and polish the brand to appeal to as many as possible. But no, he attacks the only guy who has ever fought and put the fear of God into the left.

DeSantis is more conservative than trump. I don’t know why your hate blinds you. I actually think it’s jealousy because you basically live in a barely purple state. Instead of worrying about Florida, you should be trying to get your senators tossed out and replaced with republican.

As bad as they are, at least they win elections. We haven’t since 2016 with the current group of idiots especially the top one. I hardly call 2022 a win since most expected 30 seats and the senate.

You forget that DeSantis won independent voters in Florida. A first in Florida history.

At an inaugural. Trump’s wife wished she got to attend a second inauguration. Oops.

Trump definitely advanced the homosexual agenda. Advanced the debt. Advanced the highest unemployment in history on his last day in office. So much to love.

What part of Trump's first administration was not conservative?
Was it:
- Low inflation?
- Low unemployment, especially for blue collar work?
- Rising real wages?
- Standing up to China and tariffs?
- Building a wall and having the most secure border since the 1960s?
- Cheap gas, super high oil production?
- Selecting 3 SCOTUS judges that fundamentally changed the court?
That is an incomplete list but please tell us what is not conservative about any of those things?

Yep - I guess a handful of once sane FReepers will be getting vociferous in their attacks on Trump now...

I think if trump shut his mouth in 2020, he’d win. He just had to piss off Arizona voters by bashing McCain who was dead two years. He just had to force vaccines on the populous bragging about how fast he got them done.

As POTUS a guy like DeSanctus would run towards the middle faster than Biden to a bribe.

I’ll give you 7. Although some vote with liberals from time to time. Some wall when illegals are pouring into the country. Unemployment was highest in history when he walked out the door. You need to research.

Free Republic is a toxic place now. TDS has practically ruined it. The TDSers just can believe anyone would still be for Trump. They are so smart why can’t we Trumpers recognize their political genius and back DeoSanctus?

Trump is a doer. DeoSanctus did his fake MAGA act in a RED state as a RED governor. We won't be fooled again.

desantis can't have a public rally in florida anymore - he'd get booed out of the place for lying For someone who accuses others of lying in practically every post, even when they provide links to prove their points, you are actually the one who is almost incapable posting the truth. This one is a doozy too, LOL.

To: Bratch
As time goes on, I’m starting to see a pattern emerging here. Many Republican voters have the same visceral reaction to Ron DeSantis in the 2024 campaign that Democrats had to John Edwards in 2004. Back then I remember reading MSM articles posted here with direct quotes from Democratic primary voters who insisted they’d never vote for Edwards in the general election if he won the Democratic nomination.
The fact that both of these guys come across as smarmy, disingenuous lawyers surely has a lot to do with that.
