The First Post-Indictment Poll Results Are In .

The Yahoo News/YouGov Poll is one of the most left-leaning, Uniparty-Swamp-loving polls in America. They projected Donald Trump to lose to Hillary Clinton in 2016 and to be blown out by Joe Biden in 2020. They are a borderline “push poll,” a campaign tactic used to sway voters rather than simply record their opinions.

That’s why the first poll taken since it was announced Trump would be indicted by Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is so funny. The poll had put Ron DeSantis over Trump in the GOP primary until mid-February, then had Trump with a very slim lead since then despite most polls showing him surging to a double-digit lead last month. Now, it’s showing a far-wider gap.

According to a clearly disgruntled Yahoo News:

In the previous Yahoo News/YouGov survey, which was conducted less than two weeks ago, Trump (47%) led DeSantis (39%) by eight percentage points in a head-to-head matchup among registered voters who are Republicans or Republican-leaning independents. As recently as February, it was DeSantis who was narrowly ahead of Trump, 45% to 41%.

But the new, post-indictment poll suddenly finds Trump lapping DeSantis by 26 percentage points — 57% to 31% — in a one-on-one contest. The former president even attracts majority support (52%, up from 44% previously) when pitted against a wider, 10-candidate field of declared and potential GOP challengers, while DeSantis plummets to 21% (down from 28%).

No one else cracks double digits.

It will be challenging for DeSantis or any of the current and prospective candidates to get traction while Trump is under such a direct attack in this partisan witch hunt. Perhaps they should listen to Ric Grenell and push off their ambitions to 2028.

The Dung Beetles are going to have to flood the postal system with twice as many banana boat vote mail in ballots than they used in 2020.

DeSantis decided to make himself a speed bump on the historical road to save the country. Thanks for nothing.

[inchworm]

The bigger question is not vs Desantis but vs Brandon.

It wouldn’t be a stretch to see us looking back at the one thing that gives Trump just enough votes to exceed the dim’s vote cheating and find it’s bragg for the assist.

Joe Biden will have 400 million votes next election

Question: Do any of you notice a change in attitude from your liberal friends and relatives .....since the indictment? Any of them switching parties and vowing to vote Republican?

I’m not.

[joshua c]

the pubbie candidates will soon be clamoring for an indictment

“Joe Biden will have 400 million votes next election”
Exactly right.
WE must find a way to stop Demx cheating

“Question: Do any of you notice a change in attitude from your liberal friends and relatives .....since the indictment? Any of them switching parties and vowing to vote Republican?
I’m not.”

No. And I suspect the number of voters, that are not already for either Trump or DeSantis, who change their vote because of this will be negligible.

In 2018, 2020, and 2022 the GOP lost the middle-of-the-road voters and centrist-leaning Indies. This indictment isn’t going to sway them very much. Should Trump be convicted, they’ll see that as due process. He committed a crime. He was indicted. He was tried. He was convicted.

I think indicting Trump helps his chances in the GOP primary. It may even be enough to keep DeSantis out of the race.

God no, they're jumping up and down with glee over Trump, they can't wait til Tuesday, they want him locked up for life. It's sickening to watch them celebrate this circus.

The polls are in: it worked.

“I suspect the number of voters, that are not already for either Trump or DeSantis, who change their vote because of this will be negligible.”

This is undoubtedly correct.

The likeliest scenario as things stood before the indictment:

Trump wins the GOP nomination easily, then loses to any Democrat in the general.

The likeliest scenario as things stand after the indictment:

Trump still wins the GOP nomination easily — even with the immortal Asa Hutchinson now in the race, LOL — then still loses to any Democrat in the general.

(Unless the Rats run Hillary again, then there’s a small chance of a win.)

Before the Trump cultists start frothing at the mouth, even if DeSantis somehow wins the nomination he would probably lose to any Democrat as well. All other potential Republican nominees as of this time are complete jokes (Haley, Christie, Scott, Hogan, Hutchinson) who should never poll greater than single digits in any primary where either Trump or DeSantis is involved.

The bottom line is that maybe the biggest determinant of who is going to win the Presidency in 2024 is NOT the identity of the GOP nominee (whether Trump or DeSantis).

Maybe, just maybe, it’s something else.

I don't dislike Desantis yet but I am getting close to it. I feel like he is trying to take advantage of the rat crusade against Trump. He would be the top candidate in 2028 if he stays out of the bushes. Running now makes him the enemy of over half the republican party. I don't think that will help him in the future.

[clashfan]

I no longer have any liberal friends and relatives. Life has improved for me.

Not nearly as important as Trump v. (any democrat).
