Republican voters favor DeSantis over Trump in new poll (64% - 36%)
NBC News ^ | 01/26/2023 | Alexandra Marquez

In a hypothetical presidential matchup, Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis would garner more support against President Joe Biden than former President Donald Trump would, a new poll from Marquette University finds.

Forty-five percent of registered voters preferred DeSantis, versus 38% of registered voters who preferred Biden in a hypothetical matchup between the two.

In a hypothetical contest between Biden and Trump, the two were even, each gaining 40% of registered voters' preference.

Just among Republican voters and independents who lean Republican, DeSantis had a slightly higher favorability rating. Seventy-one percent of those voters said they have a favorable view of DeSantis, while 70% said they had a favorable view of Trump.

Among that same group of voters, ten percent said they had an unfavorable view of DeSantis while 28% had an unfavorable view of Trump.

Republican voters and Republican-leaning independent voters also preferred DeSantis as the eventual Republican presidential nominee over Trump by 28 percentage points, as 64% of this group of voters preferred DeSantis as the nominee, compared to 36% who said they preferred Trump to be the nominee.

I’m just having fun with this. Unless the system is reformed, it isn’t worth working up a lather. They’ll choose for us. I will enjoy watching a Trump Prime debate, though. That was the most enjoyable political experience I’ve ever had :P

You got one that says something like that??? I don’t think that is the way a huge majority of Trump supporters feel...

Personally, (and from what a lot of people have said) I would like to see Trump, then DeSantis for the next eight years...I would also like to see Jim Jordan involved in there somewhere....

Everyone, just as we all know there are a few on this site that will go to their graves fawning over EVs and wanting to prolong the war in Ukraine from the comfort of their living rooms in the US, Drew68 cannot gush enough about Ron DeSantis.

That is Gov DeSantis that is Governor, AG, SOS, County Executive of every county in Florida, runs every dept in Florida, is the judge in every courtroom, is every sheriff and police officer, heavy equipment operator cleaning up after the Hurricane and so many other things.

He’s the guy that, just as Jesus turned water into wine, turned Democrats into Republicans. No need to take into account all the Conservatives that moved into the state. They don’t matter. All that matters is the DeSantis fairy dust that he sprinkled.

But have no fear, DeSantis is the most conservative, For The People Candidate, that MIGHT run. Just ask his early backers: Griffin, Ryan, Boehner, Bush, Shapiro, and all the other RINO/UNIPARTY hacks that abound.

“...Trump would be the GOP nominee, and that’s a shame because he’d fail to flip a single state he lost in 2020...”

So, you are saying you believe 2020 was a fair and honest election??????

Exactly.

My Obama 2008 Vote Fraud Detection tool shows me that the ballot factories are still working overtime.

BS - it’s the opposite.

Most Trump supporters like DeSantis just fine and wish him luck.

The DeSantis shills here dislike Trump more than they like DeSantis.

You never hear Drew68 et al saying anything positive about DeSantis without also trashing Trump.

If Mini MAGA comes out for ‘24 the GOPe will jump on his bandwagon and prove Mini MAGA is the establishment candidate. Lose-lose for them. Trump wins.

drew68 is a Desantis fluffer. Sometimes it would be wise for him to wipe his face off.

I'm tired of this excuse. Trump did himself no favors during the 2020 election, idiotically telling GOP voters NOT to use mail-in voting and go stand in line during the middle of a pandemic and then idiotically traveling to Georgia during the runoffs and telling GOP voters that their votes don't count, throwing the Senate to the Democrats.

And now the same people are crying that the losses of every one of the lousy candidates he handpicked to run in 2022 were also due to fraud.

You all sound like a broken record.

And when he loses again in 2024, the same people will, once again, blame election fraud while trying to convince the rest of us that Trump is the only man in America who can "Drain the swamp!" in 2028.

Maybe it's time to nominate someone who won't let the Democrats steal his victories?

Trump should stop talking trash about Desantis and start saying how proud he is of Desantis’s MAGA policies and achiements.

Then, should add, “ I want him as my attorney general”

You do know that the establishment never voted for Trump or his candidates. Do you think we are stupid? We have watched the RINOS stab us in the back time after time. So, yes, if Trump is not the candidate we fully intend to give the establishment a taste of their own medicine.

More than a few Republicans actually believe that, even presented with evidence.

There's a reason that the "By Any Means Necessary" Party finally let the 1982 Consent Decree lapse back in 2018 - they don't need it any more...

LOLOL!!

The Democrats LET Desantis win Florida in a walk-away rout in 2022.

Compare the Desantis 2022 numbers with the JoeTatoe numbers from 2020 if you don't believe me.

Here are the nearly 1 million "disappearing" Florida Democrat "voters" from 2018 to 2022.

But those Democrat ballots were there in force in 2020, though...
