Support for DeSantis cools in latest GOP primary poll

Support for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis becoming the Republican Party’s presidential nominee is waning, according to a new poll.

Approval for Mr. DeSantis slipped by 5 percentage points compared to former President Donald Trump in the latest Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll released exclusively to The Hill on Friday.

Mr. DeSantis now trails Mr. Trump — 23% to 46%. He previously trailed Mr. Trump by 20 percentage points in January’s poll.

Mr. Trump also comes out on top in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup with Mr. DeSantis, 56% to 44%, according to the latest poll.

Another sign that Mr. DeSantis is losing ground with voters emerges when the former president is removed from the GOP’s potential primary field. The poll found that 39% of Republican voters would support Mr. DeSantis for the Republican nomination if Mr. Trump wasn’t on the ballot — a 10-point drop from January’s poll.

That’s what primaries are for. May the best person win. The problem is making sure the butthurt vote to. That’s the key.

Not his destiny? 😀 Way to go, you just swept election theft and the disenfranchisement of millions of voters under the rug.

Looks like DeSantis has peaked. Should be clear sailing at this point.

Not enough votes to overcome the fraud. Ergo, trounced.

Florida still has a number of homeless from Ian. Biden’s goons drag their feet. That needs fixed. As much as the physical plant.
