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

Posted on 01/26/2023 2:39:16 PM PST by Drew68

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.

HA! DeSantis can be President of Florida just like Kemp can be President of Georgia. There are a few other states involved, oh, and just in case you didnā€™t notice, Kemp was running against Stacy Abramsā€¦..not Trump.

Drew68 is GOP Establishment and promotes DeSantis everyday.

LOL!

It's just bizarre to me when people call the man who took on and is currently winning battles against woke Disney, the woke school boards, the woke universities, the woke NHL, homosexual indoctrination of children, shut down drag shows for kids, shipped illegals to Martha's Vineyard, only to be re-elected in a massive landslide as the "GOP Establishment" candidate.

Meanwhile, the guy who handed the country over to Dr. Fauci, filled his administration with Bush's JV team of Deep State Swamp Creatures, mailed everyone "free" money, banned guns by executive order, campaigned for re-election with a $500 billion reparations package for blacks, endorsed Stacey Abrams for governor, Hired Ronna Romney McDaniel to run the RNC, throws gay parties at Mar-A-Lago, and is now campaigning with Lindsey Graham is somehow the "Washington outsider who will drain the swamp."

Who gives a damn who Republican voters like? There will be no more Republican Presidents.

Wake up to the fact that vote fraud is not, and will not, be curtailed. A Republican with 90% national favorability can’t be elected.

You people need to stop thinking about elections and more about how you will avoid cattle cars and reeducation camps.

Lol, yesterday it’s a poll that says “Trump 64%, Desantis 36%”, today it’s a poll that says “Desantis 64%, Trump 36%”.

All a bunch of manipulation by the media and pollsters. Just wait until people actually declare, and then have the debates, and then we’ll see how things shake out.

These are a bunch of lies, and the point is that you know this poll is not accurate, and you are just using DeSantis to defeat Trump, but you won’t support him and know he can’t defeat Trump. Ron’s press sec cheered the murder of Ashli Babbitt.

“Governor Ron DeSantis is the future of the Republican Party.”

Just wondering, knowing you are a mindless, ravenous, wild assed Trump hater, how you rationalize all the other polls that say just the opposite?

DeSantis...future of the party, eventually. He has made overtures that he wants to finish his term as FL Gov. He may put his sights on the White House but not 2024. NBC does polls to steer public opinion, not measure it. I saw ‘registered viters’ and stopped reading as this is an unserious poll.

No use starting flame wars over polls designed to do just that.

Indeed, my good FRiend.

We are all on the same team, and we are beginning the long process of selecting our QB.

Much will be learned as soon as campaigns are announced, speeches are speeched, debates are held, and primaries are voted upon.

And, it won't be settled here at FR, so no need for flames.

Candidates will be discussed at kitchen tables, restaurant tables, and at office breakrooms.

The most important thing is to agree to support the party nom. The surest way to hand the Dems our fine Country is to to try to make an indignant "statement" that you will either not vote for the nom or will go third party.

Oh, quit your crying. Candidate quality matters.

If we stop running losers, we'll win.

In 2018, DeSantis barely won by the skin of his teeth in a purple state. Today, Florida is solid red and that's because of DeSantis' excellent leadership.

DeSantis pivoted on the “vaccines”. His Surgeon General advised against young men getting them. DeSantis asked for and got a Grand Jury to investigate the “vaccines”.

President Trump is still claiming that the “vaccines” saved hundreds of millions of people and is completely ignoring the injuries and deaths associated. The Democrats are already starting to pivot and hoping President Trump will be left holding the bag.

President Trump is still my man to fight the swamp, but he needs to wake up on this one and come up with a more cogent position or he will be left looking completely out of touch with reality.
