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 can't have a public rally in florida anymore - he'd get booed out of the place for lying about running for re-election as governor and being a Jeb2.0.

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"

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.

1. It's too early to regard any of the polls as set in stone.

2. Unless election fraud is fixed, anyone the GOP nominates will "lose" to the Democrats.

Says the desantis supporter, who was shown to not give a straight answer to a question in another thread.

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.

Yea, we get it, any publication that does not spin positively for DeSantis, but tell the truth, however negative it might appear, is not be trusted by DeSantis supporters.

I've seen posts by DeSantis supporters that stretch the truth, but yours takes the cake!

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.

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.

I actually liked Desantis but I don't think he is ready for the presidency. His campaign seems much too managed. Everything he does comes across as staged. That's not going to be a winning strategy. He should have told his handlers that he needed to wait four years before running for president. I truly believe his donors want to take him and Trump down.
