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.

Agree!

He needs to start walking his “enthusiastic” support back!

Trumps worst enemy is his ego.

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

A.). I'm not a mindless, ravenous, wild assed Trump hater. I voted for him twice with great enthusiasm, as well as money. Trump remains the only candidate that I've ever donated money to.

B.) I don't worry about the other polls. I'm looking at trends and even in the polls where Trump leads DeSantis, it's by much smaller margins than it used to be.

In fact, it appears that Trump, a former GOP president and, as of now, the only candidate in the race, has plateaued at 48% in the polls where he is winning.

That's not good news for Trump. Despite being a former president and the only candidate running, more than half of his party wants someone else in 2024.

My turn from Trump isn't personal. He just can't win in 2024. He will not flip a single state that he lost in 2020 and will likely lose NC as well. And, he's too old.

Trump is now a three-time loser. I'm tired of losing. DeSantis fights and wins.

Are we only allowed to post the polling that shows Trump beating DeSantis?
Did someone try to stop you from posting this wishful thinking tripe?

I cannot wait for the Main Stream Media to locate the Democrat high school girls to tell their stories of the parties that History Teacher and Coach Ron DeSantis attended with them and the jealous Democrat high school boys who were humiliated by the cocky, arrogant and "racist?" Ivy League teacher having a lark in his gap year while making quick money to pay for Harvard Law school.   Oh, the story yet to be told.

Hint: The MSM already knows where to find them they are just holding the attack for the best time to spring it.

That’s why they are pushing so hard for DeSantis. Trump is the most vetted candidate in history.

“Trumps worst enemy is his ego.”

Maybe. But all politicians have massive egos or they wouldn’t be in politics. Most keep it tamped down. Trump would be better off toning it down a little. Bragging isn’t attractive.
