DeSantis led Trump as recently as January, but the trend since is against the Governor. Donald Trump continues to stretch his lead over Ron DeSantis in the Lone Star State.
A survey conducted between March 30 and April 2 by CWS Research and commissioned by the Defend Texas Liberty PAC finds the former President is supported by more than half of those surveyed, with more than double the support of the Florida Governor, who still is his nearest competition.
Fifty-two percent of the 1,067 likely voters in the 2024 Republican Primary say they back Trump, with just 20% claiming to back DeSantis. Undecided voters are the next biggest group, making up 12% of the sample, with other names much farther back.
Former Vice President Mike Pence earns 5% support, United Nations envoy Nikki Haley is at 4%, and U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, who has ruled out a run, draws 3% support.
This survey, conducted as Trump’s 34-count federal indictment was finalized, is the latest CWS Research poll showing DeSantis losing ground over previous months against Trump. A survey conducted between Feb. 28 and March 2 found 43% of the 867 respondents backing Trump, with DeSantis 16 points behind.
In a January survey from the same outfit, Trump held a narrow 36% to 35% advantage. The same pollster had DeSantis leading Trump back in November, with 43% support being good for an 11-point lead over Trump. That represented the high point of a surge; back in July 2022, Trump held a 19-point lead over DeSantis in the same survey.

Note to Jeff, Ken and Ron, Texas is Trump Country.
Interesting how he’s running against DeSantis, who isn’t running, but he won’t run against Biden.
Desantis should stop being a weasel.
Biden ain’t running for the repub nomination...
How is he being a weasel because the mainstream media, the Bushes, and McConnell are trying to take him out? Trump has retired from fighting Democrats, and only attacks the Republican’ that McConnel tells him to.
Neither is DeSantis.
Biden might as well, not that Trump stopped opposing him.
Since polls are either push polls or meaningless or both, I came here because I thought there was a Texan Golf open tournament, and DJT is crushing RD after the first 18 holes.
Excellent.
you act like a triggered looney leftist...
That GIF is one of many things I like amongst ALL of Trumps accomplishment. The Man made me laugh every Day. That’s a very unique trait none of the others have. Charisma. NON of them. Democrat, or Republican.
Trump has personality, charisma, and so much more.
