The survey found Trump’s lead ticking up from 55 percent support last week to 56 support this week. DeSantis, meanwhile, saw his support declining, going from 26 percent to 23 percent this week.
In other words, Trump has expanded his lead over DeSantis in the last week, going from a 29 point lead to a 33 point lead — his greatest lead yet in this particular survey.
No other potential competitor comes close. Former Vice President Mike Pence comes in third place with seven percent support, followed by former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley (four percent) and former Rep. Liz Cheney (three percent).
No other potential challenger — from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo — saw greater than one percent support. GOP presidential candidates Vivek Ramaswamy and Asa Hutchinson just saw one percent support each:

Per the survey:
Trump’s Lead Widens Over DeSantis: Former President Donald Trump is backed by 56% of potential Republican primary voters, compared with 23% who back Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who’s expected to launch his own primary bid in the coming months. That 33-percentage-point lead over the past several days marks Trump’s largest since Morning Consult’s tracking of the hypothetical match-up began in December.
This reflects a significant increase for Trump long term.

Good article on why Desantis is waiting to announce his plans:
https://www.npr.org/2022/12/14/1142680625/will-desantis-run-2024-president-campaign-trump
“Desantis” will be a new verb in the dictionary meaning to blow or muff a golden opportunity by acting too soon. Usage: “I know you want get a promotion but don’t desantis yourself by asking too soon.”
*Chuckle* If he runs I could definitely see that. If he backs out before he runs he will simply be forgotten.
I doesn’t matter who the pubs put up.
Until they figure out how to do elections—they will lose.
Heck even if Trump exceeds his 2020 numbers by 5-10 million votes—there is absolutely nothing to stop the dems from closing the polls on election night in democrat cities and keeping them closed until they find/print enough votes to steal the election.
That is, there is nothing to stop the dems from doing in 2024 exactly what they did in 2020.
Several recent dem election tactics will likely go nationwide in 2024
I totally agree with you!
I will write My Governor and ask him to stand down NOW! And make nice with President Trump.
Governor DeSantis needs to pledge 100% support President Trump in 2024! The sooner, the better!
Governor DeSantis KNOWS that he has POTUS 48 in the bag!
President Trump and Governor DeSantis have GOT to play 2024 RIGHT! And work to re-elect President Trump!
The future of our FRee Republic is at stake in 2024, 2028 and 2032!
MAGA!
Superb! As long as DeSantis is the Democrat nominee, Trump will win the 2024 Presidential election easily!

Biden will easily win in my state of Pennsylvania, thanks to Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
