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.

There is a long time until the 2028 election cycle. Other candidates will emerge and be tested. That race will be run in it’s time.
See, I like both of them, unlike you. There is no better Canidate in 28, if Trump gets the nod now, and what if Trump picks a go along get along Neo- Con VP? Trump has 4 more years if he wins, that’s it.
There are certainly urban areas where Biden will poll better than Trump You know...the areas that they count last...*wink*.
All gaslight, all the time.
If DeSantis is so utterly despicable now (according to many), how would he be acceptable in ‘28?
In 1860 the Republican Party nominated Lincoln instead of Seward because they thought correctly that he was more likely to win the election.
But the Trump cult can’t be influenced by obvious facts. Even after they lose in 2024, which it appears that they will, they will say that they were cheated again and they really won the election.
Incorrect. Public Opinion Strategies is a GOP establishment linked firm tied to McCain and Bush consultants- it is the go to polling firm for the DeSantian scum.
I agree about Scott.
If Trump wins in 24, DeSantis gets the nod in 28.
“Utterly meaningless— because JoeBama aint’ gonna make it—”
If the candidate is Biden I would go with Trump but if it is Newsome or Moochelle then I would feel better with DeSantis.
LOL, of course.
Yes.
XiSantis polls strong in Dominion Systems States.
There is no case for an establishment shill.
The case for Desantis is, I’m Trump without the baggage.
It’s not true, of course, but that’s the narrative being offered..
And frankly it’s the dumbest argument I’ve seen in my life being made by a politician.
Hey I’m just like the other guy, you really support, but better..
Then there is actually watching DeSantis campaign.. it’s not hard to see how he would have lost to a drug addicted fraud without Trump pulling him over thr finish line. He does not have “it”, just watching him deliver stump speeches he isn’t great at basinretail politicking. His wife is better at the podium by far than he is.
The establishment/globalist/Uniparty continuing to push this guy is laughable.
Imagine Trump slicing up either one of those KLOWNS. Moochelle (that’s a MAN baby!) Blacks do NOT like her and they def. don’t like Newsom the homeless drug addict’s “friend”. Track record of literal crap- piles of it in a now empty San Fran. Devil is in the details.
Neither will win those states. The blue wall of vote fraud is impenetrable
Let the Republican primary voters decide after giving each candidate a chance to shine above all others.
Stop with the Childish attacks. DeSantis and Trump are the only 2 American First Canidates. It is not a bad thing to have 2.
