Former President Donald Trump more than doubled Gov. Ron DeSantis in a hypothetical Republican primary matchup, a Rasmussen Reports poll found Thursday.
The survey asked respondents, “If the contest for the Republican nomination were between Nikki Haley, former president Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, which candidate would you support?”
Fifty-two percent supported Trump, while only 24 percent chose DeSantis, less than double. Just 15 percent said they supported former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, widely viewed as the most establishment among the three potential contenders.
The poll surveyed 900 likely voters from February 16 to 20 with a 3 percentage point margin of error.
The Rasmussen poll comes six days after Harvard Cap/Harris poll released Friday found Trump led DeSantis by 23 percentage points, or by double the governor’s support.

Maybe 2028 for DeSantis. Not now.
Lots of time still to go…
Months out from the primary even starting. This is the Jeb Bush heyday period.
“Maybe 2028 for DeSantis. Not now.”
Major agree!
24% ain’t bad for a non candidate ... I’d love to see this poll taken in Florida only ...
DeSantis agrees also ...
The Donald doing his thing in Ohio, giving a sympathetic ear and bringing in supplies.
Giuliani had a commanding lead at this time....
Polling a guy that hasn’t even declared he’s gonna run for POTUS........awesome 👌
“Giuliani had a commanding lead at this time....”
Valid point. A relatively large % of the electorate have no clue who DeSantis is as opposed to Trump who has ~ 100 % name recognition.
So did Reagan in ‘79 and he crusshed it.

So we’ll nominate the guy who will lose the election. Again. Great.

Rontards, let it go. You can have him for 2028. And I will support him then too.
The optics on Trump’s Ohio trip were outstanding, what a generous guy he was for those people.
If he will lose these others are really going to lose.
Nobody knows what will happen. The country is doing much worse now. At least Trump has a path forward.
You think they won’t steal it from DeSantis too? I like them both, but the DeSantis people are nastier than the Cruzies last time.
Douche bag politicians were drinking the municipal water.
Trump brought tractor trailer loads of (free) worry free bottled water people can take home for their families/children and know it's safe.
Not only that but he brought cleaning and sanitation supplies...Then he treated a bunch of people to McDucks.
All out of his pocket.
BTW, did buttplug drink any of the water? Or bring anything besides more misery?
ALSO, He would have done all that even if they never voted for him...And everybody knows it.
