Ron DeSantis’s Approval Ratings Have Absolutely Cratered
The National Pulse ^ | June 7, 2023 | JACK MONTGOMERY

Posted on 06/07/2023 5:48:30 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

Flordia Governor Ron DeSantis has seen his net approval rating tank since he announced his bid for the presidency.

A dynamic approval rating graph maintained by online pollster Civiqs puts DeSantis’s net approval at negative 19 points, with roughly 55 percent of respondents disapproving of him and 36 percent approving of him.

As recently as December his approval and disapproval ratings were tied at 47 percent apiece.

The findings appear to be further proof that DeSantis enjoyed no boost in support from his botched campaign launch, hosted by Elon Musk on Twitter Spaces.

Reporting the Civiqs findings, Newsweek noted that Morning Consult polling shows Donald Trump thrashing his Floridian rival 56 percent to 22 percent among Republicans, with DeSantis’s current results “stagnant” compared to May 20th, when he was pulling 21 percent.

His best result was in January, when he managed 34 percent.

This site is run by Steve Bannon's sidekick Rasheed Shalom or whatever his name is.

They're just putting stuff like this out to try to give cover for Trump not participating in the debates.

“He’s got to be the most annoying if not despised poster whoever came to this site.”

I can’t figure out how he’s able to post that frequently and still find the time to light all the candles on his DJT shrine.

There’s a good chance Trump won’t even be allowed on the ballot in many states.

Those that refuse to accept any other Republican candidate will ensure another Democratic President.

If Desantis wins the nom I’ll support him in spirit like I have all pubs going back to the 70s save mittens. I’m not American so I can’t vote for him. From what I see right now it’s Trump in a gallop but if somehow Desantis wins...go Ron.

Both Trump and DeSantis have some similar qualities that we all like, being fighters and willing to call out the presspaganda. Hearing them out on policies would be helpful, but I guess many enjoy the insults and name-mangling, which has now even spread out to one of the wives who, as far as I know, hasn’t said or done anything to deserve such treatment.

Don't look for RDS to back away from his critically important and historic candidacy.

Polls are quite easy to sway (most of us don't even go near them these days), and the DEMS want to run against Mister Trump, and everyone knows this.

He’s just exposed himself to be a uniparty/globalist/establishment shill...

Morning Consult Tracking poll pretty much tells the tail... The establishment/uniparty pumped him up, then people actually started to look at him and pretty much have said no thanks since.

Since he finally officially entered, he’s kind of stopped the hemorrhaging, and seems to have a slight up trend over last 2 weeks, and by slight I mean “SLIGHT”, overall he’s been pretty much flatlined since about Mid April, floating right around the low mid 20s.

Meanwhile, Trump has been floating at or above the mid 50s since April 1, and the last time he polled under 50% was Feb 1.

https://pro.morningconsult.com/trackers/2024-gop-primary-election-tracker

The fundamental Problem with Desantis is they sold him as “Trump without the baggage” and “He’s like Trump but can beat Biden”... but the reality is, the bloom is off that rose.

Desantis has been polling at or below Trump when head to head against Biden for months.

The other Issue with Desantis is, he’s not not a commanding presence, and not a great campaigner... and that’s without having to be side by side with Trump who will absolutely overshadow him. Sadly Desantis’ wife has more presence and works the podium better than Desantis.

Why would anyone who supports Trump settle for someone trying to be “like” Trump, when they can have Trump, especially when the main argument used to pump up the guy trying to be like Trump has fallen flat.

Desantis was foolish, IMHO to run, at least a serious attempt.. had he just decided I’m gonna run just to build up my donor network and start my ground game for 2028, and bow out early, then it would make sense, but that’s clearly not what he appears to be doing... and there is no upside for him now.

The damage he’s going to do to his brand long term is far greater than any odds he can pull of a win.

We will see how this all plays out, but I just don’t see any math ANYWHERE where Trump is not the Republican Nominee and by a large margin... ending the cycle with almost certainly better 60% of all votes cast, if not more.

What I find a far more interesting watch, honestly is the Dems.

The Dems have a man who if he gets his message out, could turn 2024 into the Dems 2016. Where the electorate refuses to follow their script. RFK JR. absolutely can win the votes to be the nominee if he gets his voice out there... Now whether the Democrat machine will respect their voters, or simply use their Super Delegates to force their will over them anyway, we shall see. If RFK Jr. actually starts to get traction, you better believe the insanity you saw unleashed against Trump will look like a walk in the park compared to what they will do to ensure he isn’t their nominee...

How many times today are you going to post BS articles from National File?! No one wants them, no one cares, just clickbait that I presume you are paid to post?


It’s not National File.

It’s Raheem Kasam’s National Pulse.

But, you look like a whining fool/tool, nonetheless.

Maybe YOU are the paid, disinfomation/Deep State DeeSantis plantist. 🤔

Long story....Australian...living in Canada most of my life. I voted back in the 70s when I was allowed to but that ended quickly. Haven’t voted since. Almost stateless in a way. If I moved back I could vote there of course but there is no voting abroad for Australians. You have to be a resident down there.

An indication that the seminar posters are out. Quit being lazy and check the source. Earn that paycheck.
