The case for DeSantis over Trump
The Washington Times ^ | June 24, 2023 | Michael McKenna

Posted on 06/24/2023 6:29:35 PM PDT by TBP

the Trump campaign needs to be aware of an emerging thread of data that suggests that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis may do better in the general election.

New survey results from Public Opinion Strategies build on previous results and are starting to frame a coherent story about how the general election might look with different Republican candidates.

The new survey results indicate that Mr. DeSantis would do better than Mr. Trump in the general election in specific battleground states. For example, in Georgia, Mr. DeSantis leads President Biden by 3 percentage points in a general election matchup.

In the same matchup, Mr. Trump loses Georgia to Mr. Biden by 3 points.

In Pennsylvania, Mr. DeSantis runs 2 points better than Mr. Biden while Mr. Trump runs 4 points behind Mr. Biden.

Back in April, Mr. Trump trailed Mr. Biden in Pennsylvania by the same 4 percentage points. Mr. DeSantis led Mr. Biden in Pennsylvania by 3 points.

In Arizona, the current spread between the candidates appears greater. Mr. DeSantis runs 6 points better than Mr. Biden while Mr. Trump runs 3 points behind the president. That is also a greater margin than was evident in polling done in April.

Those results indicated that Mr. DeSantis would defeat Mr. Biden nationally by 3 percentage points while Mr. Trump would lose nationally by 3 percentage points — the same margin by which he lost in 2020.

It looks like the polls, released by President Trump's own polling firm, show DeSantis running better in key states.

Utterly meaningless— because JoeBama aint’ gonna make it— they can’t put any more lipstick on his diaper leaks and the leaks from his demented mind. This, btw is a “push” poll- noone knows what real polls would show and the battle of the polls has proven (see Luntz) useless- they don’t ask people who matter.

So there’s actually states in which senile Biden out polls Trump? Sheesh this country is in worse shape than I thought.

All polls aside, I'd say it's going to be damn near impossible for DeSantis to win any of the Blue/Purple Rust Belt states Trump won in 2016 -- including Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Those states haven't supported an establishment GOP candidate in decades.

"Fill in the blank" will do better in the General Election.

An annual statement by election experts as regular as exlax.

Sure right. RDS is a total flop as a candidate. Humpty can’t put this campaign back together again.

Pathetic, whistling in the dark.
DeSantis more wooden than Mitt.
More clueless than Ted.
Less charisma than Jeb.

You’d have better luck learning how to juggle flaming chains saws while unicycling on ice, than DeSantos being elected president.

If Trump gets it now, then DeSantis will get it in 28. The rest are all go along get along Neo- Cons. Trump only gets 1 more term.

If Biden were to win any state, Biden, the decrepit old codger who can’t walk or talk, it means the country is forever lost.

And the little effeminate DeSantis will certainly not do better in a general election than Trump. Does anyone pay attention to how he talks?
