New polling points to trouble for Ron DeSantis with one particular demographic in the 2024 presidential race.
A Fox News poll conducted from June 23 through June 26 shows the Florida Governor 50 points behind former President Donald Trump, 64% to 14%, with Republican voters under the age of 45.
The 77-year-old Trump’s massive lead with younger voters is notable given that DeSantis, a 44-year-old, is actually a member of that demographic cohort. The Governor has made age an issue in campaign speeches, promoting himself as being able to bring energy to the executive branch.
Despite these promises, younger voters represent a drag on DeSantis’ overall numbers, and are the worst subgroup for the Governor in the Fox News survey. With voters between the ages of 45 and 64, DeSantis is only 25 points down (52% to 27%). And with voters 65 years of age and up, the Governor is 20 points back (50% to 30%).
Overall, DeSantis is down 34 points to Trump, 56% to 22%, with other candidates much further back.
Author Vivek Ramaswamy’s 5% is good for third place, with former Vice President Mike Pence and U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina tied for fourth place with 4% each.
Former United Nations envoy Nikki Haley has 3% support, ahead of former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and Larry Elder, each of whom have 1%.
Registering no support in the Fox News poll were North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, former Texas Congressman Will Hurd and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez.
The poll, conducted under the joint direction of Beacon Research and Shaw & Company Research, has a +/- 5-percentage-point margin of error among Republican respondents.
The overall 34-point spread in the poll between Trump and DeSantis is marginally outside the Race to the White House national polling average. That shows Trump with 53% support, DeSantis with 22%, Pence with 6%, Haley with 4%, and Ramaswamy and Scott each with 3%.
You’re doing a swell job for me. I can tell you’re proud of yourself for the loss’ to democrats. Good job.
bttt
And it doesn’t matter if he won in 2020. He’s not in the seat which is a loss.You're more right than you want to admit.
It's a loss to the country and to fair elections
BTW,
Trump accomplished more for America in one 4yr term than any President in your lifetime.
Which is why they (you?) don't want him to win.
It will be a miracle if we the voters are actually allowed to choose a President with our votes.
How many national elections has McCain, Romney, Santorum, Rubio, Cruz, and DeSantis won since 2008? ZERO.
Trump is 1 for 2 and is on the verge of going 2 for 3. The Democrats can be beat. Trump has shown how to do it.
Yes. And DeSantis has many of Cruz’ 2016 advisers who are giving him the same terrible advice.
And it is supposedly Trump who makes the bad hires !
Yea, usually I catch them.
I’ll make sure they are removed ( doulbe-checked) from here on out
for the same reasons you listed de santis will not be president.
plus all the vitriol that’s poured on trump will be poured on de santis.

BINGO! It’s amazing witnessing people here that still think that “elections” or that a “Republican” Congress or Senate will save this nation. I know who our enemies are (D), but I’m not too sure about our “allies”......this country can no longer be saved through the ballot box. Just saying....I’m looking overseas to start anew because the USA has turned into the USSA but unfortunately most of the so-called conservatives still cling to their wishful thinking that doing the same thing over and over is going to give us a different result. The one moment (2016), in the past 50 years, where it looked like there could be a shot- look how quickly the establishment from BOTH sides came together to make that movement enemy #1. Sorry folks....there’s no hope left for the USA.
DeSantis would have been better served to have finished his gubernatorial term, where he can continue to make sound decisions.
Probably the most truthful statement I have read on this forum in quite some time.
he most likely will ...
Who died and made you boss Herr Hitler?
Beck also ???
Is DeSantis going to act crazy egged on by Beck and his co-religiousists ???
When it comes to religious delusions, DeSantis is in a class by himself.

You apparently lack reasoning
He did marginally well with the tax cuts. But he decided to sunset them. So in 2025 his first year in office. You’ll hear Trump raised taxes. It will be true. But here they will give him a pass as always.
