Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has fallen behind both Chris Christie and Vivek Ramaswamy in the early GOP battleground state of New Hampshire, dropping to just 9 percent of the vote as former President Donald Trump continues to dominate the field.
A poll by Echelon Insights, quizzing 800 likely Republican Primary Voters, puts Chris Christie in second at 14 percent. Previously little-known Ohio businessman Vivek Ramaswamy is also in double digits at 11 percent – putting him in third place. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) is polling at 7 percent, just two points behind the Florida Governor.
Donald Trump stands at 34 percent in the Granite State.
Interestingly, New Hampshire voters listed “political corruption” as their number one issue, with the cost of living in second, jobs and the economy in third, immigration in fourth, and national security fifth.
The DeSantis campaign continues to slump in both state and national polling while bleeding cash – despite multiple attempts to reboot the campaign. Seemingly unable to gain traction in the polls or raise campaign cash, DeSantis have increasingly become reliant on support from the Never Back Down SuperPAC which The National Pulse has exposed for being a hive of Never Trumpers and actual Democrats. The Echelon Insights poll is just the latest to show DeSantis being overtaken by Ramaswamy.
Great let’s demean Desantis, celebrate his fall.
Then when Trump is in jail we will be forced to choose between Christie (or unknown Ramaswamy) and Biden.
That will be a win-win for deep state.
The “Live Free or Die” State is increasingly choosing “Die”. That the Obama embracing Chris Christie is even in second place is a testament to how gullible the Republicans in this state are.
DeSanctus reaping what he sowed.
Very foolish choices, demonstrating he is not capable of being potus.
I used to think of him as the ‘28 guy.
Now I don’t think of him.
It’s Trump or bust. Choose wisely.
Yep, I don’t understand why so many of our fellow Freepers, hate DeSantis.
They don’t just prefer another candidate, they have hatred for DeSantis. In spite of his having a strong record as governor, they express hate for him.
I don’t get it.
Another sock puppet of the insidious DC establishment goes down in flames. Say hello to Jeb! for me DeSantis.
Notice everyone is ignoring the very obvious possibility Trump maybe UNABLE to run. If he is in jail.
I honestly don’t understand this do or die mentality.
I want Trump, I want Desantis. I would vote for Paul, no chance…maybe..maybe Cruz. I don’t want any demo-rat or neocon like Christie or Pence or another Romney.
I will choose a weaker Maga over communism (essentially what the Dems are) or big government/war party neo-cons any day of the week.
Maybe you spend too much time standing in the middle of the road trying to direct traffic. Trump or bust. I can promise you, you will not like bust. The time of choosing is at hand. Pick a side.
“Then when Trump is in jail we will be forced to choose between Christie (or unknown Ramaswamy) and Biden. That will be a win-win for deep state.”
Is that any worse than a win-win-win for the deep state if DeSantis is in?
“ Yep, I don’t understand why so many of our fellow Freepers, hate DeSantis.”
I don’t hate the man. I do hate what he’s done. Had he played his cards right he could have been VP for four years under Trump and then waltzed to the nomination in ‘28.
Instead he decided to take Trump on completely ignoring the lesson of 2016. Now he will never be anything other than Governor of Florida. Which is too bad.
Trump/DeSantis would have mopped the floor with Biden.
L
“If he is in jail.”
Yes, he can. Ever hear of Eugene Debs?
Do they hate DeSantis because he has allied himself with the decepticon Bush Crime Family? I think so.
The rejection of DeSantis is exactly like the rejection of Jeb! We are done with the grifting republican leadership that wins landslide elections who then gracefully lose for fun and profit.
We don’t know what will happen after the 2024 election cycle.
DeSantis could well be in the mix for the 2028 nomination.
Just because you lose out in the primaries doesn’t mean you will never run for president again. ‘
Reagan challenged President Ford in 1976, and failed. Many Republicans were quite critical of Reagan at the time, for having the audacity to challenge an incumbent GOP president. Yet he succeeded four year later.
We don’t know what the political landscape of 2028 will look like. Will we see Trump’s running mate be a strong contender for the nomination? Will a reelected Biden be leading America, and their failures set the stage for a strong GOP election in 2028? We just don’t know.
Trump being in jail is according to the rat rules, NOT THE RULE OF LAW!
Anyone who does not vehemently oppose this charade and goes along to get along with the rats is the reason we as a nation are in this cesspool.
Chris Christie in second at 14 percent... Ohio businessman Vivek Ramaswamy is also in double digits at 11 percent... Tim Scott (R-S.C.) is polling at 7 percent... DeSantis [has] increasingly become reliant on support from the Never Back Down SuperPAC which The National Pulse has exposed for being a hive of Never Trumpers and actual Democrats.
I’ll vote for Trump even if he is in prison. I will NOT be forced to vote for anyone. I will not give up. I will not comply. I am in rebellion against this evil, corrupt regime. That is my solemn promise as a Free American.
