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.

1968, not 1972.
DeSantis also got money from Disney, yet he took them on, ended their little fiefdom, and won.
Trump does what his donors want; DeSantis does what he thinks is right.
Fake politicians are hard to support, often only to prevent the "worse one" from getting the nod, which politicians use as an us vs them ploy, mostly same coin, different sides.
I remember showing up to work the phones for Reagan the day after the debate. I was smiling big.
“What are you so happy about?”
“We just won this election.”
“Don’t be so sure.”
“Did you see the debate last night?”
“Yeah. Unimpressive.”
“There are only two things anyone remembers: ‘Nuclear proliferation, Daddy” and ‘Are you better off than you were four years ago?’ Both work for us. We won. It might be big.”

I was posting about Trump's fundraising grift to pay his legal fees.
Carter came across like a prim little prig with a bad case of constipation. Reagan came across like everybody's grandfather or favorite uncle.
Reagan was a rock of stability compared to Carter.
Increasingly it's starting to look like Trump is running to pay his legal bills and delay his court cases
Oops. I meant to reply to post #198.
Trump knows he can’t win a general election. He’s already making excuses for it in some of his rants on Truth Social.

Election interference from DC is real, depending on who is President.

Please read the above.
Except the ones that agree with your stance or opinion.
Trump or nobody!! F it!
If this poll is accurate, there is no way that DeSantis does better in Arizona and Georgia.
Your data claiming that DeSantis has a better chance of winning is based on internal DeSantis push polls. I am not saying this primary is over, it hasn’t even started but, this pollster is a DeSantis pollster.
He has that Ginger Lynn look.
