Trump remains the most favorable GOP contender, as 78 percent view him favorably, compared to 20 percent who do not. He is down one point from the 79 percent who viewed him favorably last week.
While DeSantis boasts the second highest favorability of all those listed in the survey, 66 percent, it reflects a six-point decrease from the 72 percent who viewed him favorably last week and a seven-point decrease from the 73 percent who viewed him favorably the week prior. In other words, he has experienced a seven-point drop in the last two weeks.
While former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley experienced a boost last week, jumping from 48 percent to 54 percent, she has gone back down, with 47 percent viewing her favorably this week. Nineteen percent say they have never heard of her — still a significant shift from the 29 percent who said they had never heard of her two weeks ago.
Anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy has 44 percent viewing him favorably, while 30 percent say they have never heard of him. This puts him more in line with Sen. Tim Scott, who is expected to announce a presidential run next week. Thirty-seven percent have a favorable view of the senator, while 32 percent say they have never heard of him.
The survey also shows Trump continuing to dominate in the hypothetical primary race, leading DeSantis — his closest potential challenger — 61 percent to 18 percent. This reflects a difference of 43 points.
2024 National Republican Primary:
Trump 61% (+43)

What a disappointment...I thought De Santis was a good alternative choice.
It appears he is just one of the blowhards who just talk louder than anyone else.
I am a little crushed.
These polls and discussions are diversion.
It’s not that I disagree with you per se, but unless we get ahead of VBM, vote by mail, a month for them to vote or harvest votes and we (mainly) vote on Election Day, it does not matter who is on top of the tix
We lose, Trump or DeSantis
Understand why, the Dems use VBM to harvest votes legally and illegally from low propensity voters that are either registered Dem or independent-basically they look at a precinct and if it is a Dem leaning , and has not shown 100% of votes in they got get them, one way or the other and VBM gives them all the tools and time to do it
So it doesn’t matter Trump , DeSantis, anyone -until we have a plan to beat them at their game VBM we lose
Even having a Republican Governor is no guarantee against election fraud. Both Arizona and Georgia had Republican governors in 2020, and neither one of them did a thing to prevent their states from being stolen or to help correct it after the fact.
Can you explain why you are pro-Anthony Kennedy, and anti-Scalia since you were the opposite in 2008?
Izzat you, Bill Barr?
After this next election I am done with the eGOP for all of the reasons you stated. If another Trump like figure emerges I may reconsider. We are not voting our way out of this. Trump or bust!
We know the Deep State controls the polls as well as the primary and general elections.
There’s no way to know if the recent polls are legit or being manipulated just as we don’t know how many people at Trump’s rallies are being paid by George Soros to be there to give the illusion Trump has broad support.
Yeah. Run with that.
Like marching with a pitchfork.
“Yeah. Run with that.”
What proof do we have that Trump’s support is legit and not being manipulated by the Deep State?
What proof do you have that Trumps support is illegitimate. You made the scandalous charge, back it up.
Yeah - it’s smart to back the guy who poked Trump in the eye after Trump got him elected - and then broke his promise to finish his whole term out before running for higher office...that’s the ticket for a trustworthy candidate....
Why do we have so many morons here these days?
President Trump has secret service protection.
“Did you see the Democrats back Hillaey again in 2020 after she lost in 2016?”
Apples and grapefruit.
Hillary had already been around for close to two decades by the time she lost. Bubba and the witch were so blatantly corrupt even the black women were tired of her.
On her own, without Bubba in the WH, Hillary’s likeability numbers were 500 yards BELOW the Marianas Trench.
When Trump whacked her Hillary became a two time loser. Once to the Magic Negro in the primary and once to Trump in the general.
The headline and first paragraph say that it is an unscientific poll in which the pollsters have not thught thru the meanding of the words they are using.
The vast majority of those who give a favorability rating to Ron or Don give it to both. They are not mutuually exclusive.
The poll methodology is greatly flawed.
“We have to deal with that and proceed.”
And you need to deal with your Trump derangement syndrome.
” Many, myself included, would never vote for Ron DeSantis- will always look to these DeSantians with the same level of contempt I have for Slava Ulkraine scum- perhaps this is unfair, but I can’t say I much care.”
Most DeSantis supporters are disgusting neocon filth.
Wow...you are a poster child for “How To Make Friends and Influence People” aren’t you?
“What proof do you have that Trumps support is illegitimate. You made the scandalous charge, back it up.”
Same people who run the general election run the primaries. Do you believe the folks who commit election fraud in the general are completely honest running the primaries? If you believe the 2920 election results is legitimate, then you have a point. Where do you stand on that?
I’m not here to make friends, just here to express my honest opinions.
