A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll finds that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis now leads former President Donald Trump by 5 percentage points in the race for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.
Trump previously led DeSantis by double-digit margins among registered voters who describe themselves as Republicans or Republican-leaning independents.
Meanwhile, DeSantis is ahead by even more — a whopping 11 points — among Americans who say they voted in a 2016 Republican primary or caucus in their state.
The poll of 1,635 U.S. adults, which was conducted from Dec. 1 to 5, is one of the first to confirm how far and fast Trump’s political stock has fallen in the weeks since he announced his own comeback White House bid just days after his party’s historically poor performance in the 2022 midterm elections. During that period, many conservatives blamed Trump for blowing key pickup opportunities — including this week’s Senate runoff in Georgia — and criticized the former president for hosting avowed antisemites at Mar-a-Lago and calling for the “termination” of the Constitution.
“Anyone seeking the presidency who thinks that the Constitution could somehow be suspended or not followed, it seems to me would have a very hard time being sworn in as president of the United States,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday.

DeSantis surges to 5-point lead over weakened Trump in 2024 primary matchup
—
GOP and independent ballot casters, aka voters, overwhelmingly prefer a deep state candidate.
EXACTLY!!! Democrats could not have been half as successful at destroying our Republic without the acquiescence AND outright cooperation of the GOP Leadership.
One thing has become clear over the past 20 years...
Polls are a control methodology that is superbly wielded by the communists who now rule us...
Show GOP candidates way ahead until the polls close on election day and then bring in huge communist pluralities...
Ali had his “rope-a-dope”, the communists have the polls-a-serf, and Soros-Bezos have the pre-election ballot printing and distribution strategies...
Have you seen the garbage “the military” has been pulling? Check out the news today!
Never mind, even the best military I don’t want taking over anything. No American should ever be supporting such fantasies.
The Dems already took over the MIL. They love the military - IF they control it. Don’t ever let the commies deceive you.
“The military is going to step in before much longer...”...never happen. If it does people will have much bigger problems to deal with besides defending trump and his seemingly never ending stream of foot-in-mouth comments.
Correct. As most recently evidenced by the 2022 elections.
Perhaps a divorce between us and them is the only suitable resolution in this matter.
why bother getting excited..we have the Stupid Party...resting defeat from the jaws of victory
Count on it happening and fairly soon. Do you really think this chit show can continue on to 2024? We have had 2 bogus elections. Its getting to the point of no return.
I hope desantis has billions of $$$ once the media turns on him
I think one reason they showed GOP candidates as way ahead was a way to incentivize Dem voters to vote and also to disincentivize GOP voters, who think they don’t need to vote (because it’s in the bag).
stop it, just just stop it...
Maybe when Ever-Trumpers stop it with the groveling worship.
So, even if you gave the Cruz & Youngkin votes to DeSantis, DeSantis still lags 18% behind Trump.
A.) No, they're not and...
B.) Just whose side do you think they'd be on if they did? Hint: Not ours.
Watch and see. Trump is not planning to wait until 2024.
You have a vivid imagination but I'm 100 percent confident you will be disappointed.
There will be no military coup with Trump in the lead. There will be no military coup period.
i don’t care WHICH side, it’s two years out!!!
these incessant daily polls are meaningless
It appears to have angered the DeMitchsChoice people.
It’s pretty obvious what’s going on here with the rats, RINOs and their media minions.
