As former President Donald Trump pursues another bid for the White House, a new poll offers fresh evidence that Pennsylvania Republicans may be considering an alternative: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
DeSantis leads Trump, 45% to 40%, in a hypothetical head-to-head 2024 primary election, according to a survey of Pennsylvania Republican voters.
Those figures include people who said they would “definitely” or “probably” support the candidates.
The survey was commissioned by Commonwealth Partners Chamber of Entrepreneurs, a Harrisburg-based group that promotes free markets and conservative policies.
“This poll shows what’s become abundantly clear in the past two years: It’s time to move on from Trump,” Matt Brouillette, CEO of Commonwealth Partners, said in a statement. “While his accomplishments on priorities like tax reductions and judicial nominations are notable, if Republicans want to achieve similar policy wins in the future, they must leave behind the Trump brand that’s delivering electoral defeat.”
The survey of 639 registered Republican voters in Pennsylvania had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.
Twelve percent said they were undecided, and 4% preferred another candidate. Respondents were not asked about any other potential GOP candidates by name.
The poll, taken Nov. 19-21, comes as some in the party have blamed Trump for the GOP’s poor showing in this month’s midterm elections. The former president’s endorsed candidates lost several key races, including elections for governor and U.S. Senate in battleground Pennsylvania.
By contrast, DeSantis won reelection in Florida by 19 percentage points.
Why are we doing this already? Is everybody’s drug stash really that low? After two banana republic style stolen electoons, Americans really need a break.
So what...De Santis isn’t going to run.
Besides, the Deep State will never allow Trump or any Republican to win.
Was this poll down before or after Trump was chilling with a holocaust denier at his home?
“I would expect this trend to continue as more voters outside of Florida become familiar with Governor Ron DeSantis.”
What happens when voters outside of Florida become familiar with the fact that DeSantis voted for TPP, which would have ended, completely, American sovereignty?
Donald Trump ended it.
Before.
“How many polls - every stinkin’ day - for the next few years? Two? Three”?
That’s right. It gets old and is idiotic to get caught up in all the Bull $hit polling.
What did you expect from a state that elected John Fetterman?????
You’re exactly right. This BS speculation gets old.
DeSantis is fine for 2028.
Trump 2024
RINOs seem to have real affinity for desantis …
No they didn’t. Trump won PA in 2020
Fraud countered it
2022 GOP ran the most off brand crap candidate I have ever seen in my life here in OZ.
Problem with PA is state GOP will stand by and let the theft happen.
Don’t think for one minute 2022 showed anything other than how pathetically bad the carpetbagger fraud OZ was
Agreement from the T.
Yeah. Keep on gaslighting.
So do regular conservatives.
People like winners.
Anyhow, it's funny, the group of people here who are trying their best to disparage the man who fought to keep Florida open, took on Disney, took on the woke school boards, and passed parental rights bills as the "Establishment RINO" while the guy who filled his administration with Deep State stooges before handing the country over to Dr. Fauci is the "conservative outsider who will drain the swamp!"
I predict that you will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.
Get used to the idea.
Where else are you going to go?

Did Paul Ryano and Faux sponsor this poll? LOL!!
Ditto!
.
PA picked Fetterman.
Do the Math.
Pittsburgh has gone way down hill. That’s the direction.
.
I think Oz might've won if it weren't for Mastriano.
Doug Mastriano was a terrible candidate who had no business running for governor. In his 14 point defeat, he drug Oz down with him.
As one of the primary dhimmicrap steal-the-vote states, We should keep a close eye on PA, and suspect polls taken within the state.
