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.

100%.

Trump is not a typical corporate stooge Republican. That’s why he won. DeSantis is the assistant manager who everyone hates.

[Nervous Tick]

>> As soon as you see that as the source, it is safe to ignore it.

So, you’ve officially cancelled these sources, irrespective of a careful evaluation of what they actually say?

Hmmm... where have I seen that crap before?

Oh yeah... the WOKE LEFT. And, also, Red China.

What’s next? Struggle sessions led by you?

[rhinohunter]

"you just wait, desantis isn't running yet! he'll show you then how well he does!"

No kidding! It's like waiting for the Ukrainian ground to freeze...or dry up...or whatever...

[SPDSHDW]

In 2016 that was the case. Sadly, these days he acts more like an establishment then i’d like.

[jimwatx]

“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.”

He cant even win his home state...his campaign is going nowhere.

[FLT-bird]

Yep. Not only does DeSantis have no hope of winning the nomination this time, he’s also doomed himself for a future run at the White House - all because he let RINO Establishment talk him into becoming a tool to try to take out Trump.

[Alberta's Child]

DeSantis wasn’t talked into anything. That “RINO Establishment” has owned and managed him for years, and he does whatever he’s told to do. The guy probably hasn’t had an original thought in his head since he was in high school.

[napscoordinator]

You guys deserve a Biden second term. Don’t you dare complain when it happens. You did this all yourselves.

[Alberta's Child]

You must be joking. If it weren’t for the duplicitous losers who have been working as DeSantis’ political backers, there wouldn’t have been a FIRST Biden term.

[odawg]

“Three publications you can immediately discount as BS - CTH...”

Rush Limbaugh would quote the CTH, which means he did not discount it.

Do you perceive, discern something that Rush could not?

[central_va]

f the gop. Trump IS the revolution!!

[central_va]

Yep. Not only does DeSantis have no hope of winning the nomination this time, he’s also doomed himself for a future run at the White House - all because he let RINO Establishment talk him into becoming a tool to try to take out Trump.

You have way of getting right to the point. Good job.

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

A few people like us predicted that once people realized the 2022 reelection bid of Ron DeSantis was a con, there was a strong probability he would lose support. According to polling taken after his launch, that’s exactly what happened.

There are two different YouGov polls.

One that shows opinion of the DeSantis launch

• [Economist – SEE HERE]

and one that shows the results of the head-to-head Trump -v- DeSantis matchup

• [Yahoo – SEE HERE].

The bottom line is that DeSantis has lost ground with voters AFTER his launch.

WASHINGTON – 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.

Among potential Republican primary voters — registered voters who identify as Republicans or GOP-leaning independents — Trump now leads the full field of seven declared candidates with 53%. That’s up from 48% in early May, before DeSantis threw his hat in the ring. And DeSantis now lags further behind than he did just a few weeks ago; his 25% is down from 28% in early May. (read more)

When asked how the DeSantis launch went, 48% said badly, 24% said well.  31% were not sure.

[Economist – YouGov pdf LINK]

FLORIDA – The Florida Governor’s glitch-filled kickoff on Twitter Spaces with Elon Musk left a bad impression with 1,500 U.S. adult citizens surveyed by The Economist and You Gov between May 27 and May 31.  Just 7% of those surveyed said the opening went “very well,” with another 17% venturing that it went “somewhat well.”

Meanwhile, 24% said it went “somewhat badly,” with an additional 21% saying it went “very badly,” putting the whole event 21 points underwater. Another 31% of respondents were “not sure” how it went for the Governor. (read more) 

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.

Have you ever heard of a presidential candidate launching a campaign and NOT holding a public event in his/her home state to do it?   Most people are overlooking the obvious.  His handlers cannot run the risk of a public event for their principal.  What does that tell you about the candidate?

Everything, and I do mean everything, about the Ron DeSantis 2024 campaign is manufactured, fake and phony – especially the claimed support that you see pushed by national media and the right-wing alt-media that are placing their bets to be paid by the massive financial mechanism behind the DeSantis management team.  Floridians can see through it, and the handlers were hoping the sunlight did not spread to Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

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.  I travel the state talking to blue collar ordinary people all the time; there is no grassroots support for the fraud that DeSantis has perpetrated on the state.  This announcement has left him naked to the realization of his character as a raw political opportunist.

We are now seeing the same negative results spread nationally.

One of the optimistic aspects to U.S. politics, especially in this era of institutional deceit, is the ability of the average person to detect fraud and a lack of authenticity.  It’s one of the reasons why I will never count out the ability of the American people to overcome severe institutional gaslighting.

At an intrinsic DNA level, the average American can sense when something is not right, something is amiss, something is sketchy.  Always trust your instincts, especially when dealing with the manufactured nonsense that flows from the constructs of the Sea Island billionaire class.

On another optimistic note, think about how much time, effort and money was put into this operation by the billionaire donors.   

Many of them will now be asking, ‘what’s next’?

Vivek wants to break down the corruption.

“Rove, Ryan, and the Bushes pushed DeSantis into running this time. All because they hate Donald Trump.”

Jealous little bitches. Jealousy among women is legendary, but when it hits powerful men it’s monumental. Makes women look like pikers in that regard.

[central_va]

You guys supporting DeSanctimonious deserve a Bush third term. Don’t you dare complain when it happens. You did this all yourselves.

Many of them will now be asking, ‘what’s next’?

Sea Island

Sea Island, GA, is a go-to place for those who operate in the background of U.S. politics. Similar in purpose to Jackson Hole, WY.  Sea Island serves as an East Coast meeting place where the globalists strategize and the paid for performance politicians are given instructions.

We do not have details. However, even for the exclusive Sea Island high security protocols, this notice is unusual. 

Given the timing, watch for news that follows.

[cnsmom]

By 2028 there will be even more candidates running. DeSantis will now limp to 2028 anyway. It is time to let Trump finish the Wall, build back our military and drill baby drill.

[MayflowerMadam]

“Rush Limbaugh would quote the CTH, which means he did not discount it.

“Do you perceive, discern something that Rush could not?”

Also, the Hofts from Gateway Pundit (I know one is a homo) are Bannon’s guests on War Room often. I usually trust his perceptions more than FReepers’ opinions.

[sauropod]

Whatever.
