The survey concluded that Ramaswamy has made “significant strides” since jumping into the presidential race, going from the bottom tier to tying for second place with double digit support alongside DeSantis.
As is consistent in other surveys, former President Donald Trump leads the pack with a double-digit advantage — 36 points ahead of his nearest competitors — with 48 percent support.
Ramaswamy ended up tying with DeSantis for second place with 12 percent support.

Both former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Sen. Tim Scott came seven points behind with five percent support each. Four percent chose former Vice President Mike Pence, and three percent chose former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.
One percent chose former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, and ten percent, overall, remain undecided.
“Ramaswamy outperformed six other hopefuls by more than double, marking a significant surprise in this poll,” Doug Kaplan, founder of Kaplan Strategies, said, predicting that it is likely “lower-tier candidates” will “drop off,” causing their voters to turn to either Trump, Ramaswamy, or DeSantis.

“Poll: Vivek Ramaswamy Ties for Second with Ron DeSantis”
Like this is news? I mean, when a campaign collapses, then people start to catch up to you.
Needs guac bowls…
Looks like the ticket is going to be Trumpaswamy 2024.
I could go with that.
The boy is a Lead Balloon, and by listening to Fox Republicans, he seriously damaged his career.
TRUMP won’t select him.
RamaSwampy is WEF/Soros related.
Who was the Republican candidate from the Chicago area several years ago that seemed promising and then fell off the radar?
Vivek is smart. Everyone is interviewing him, from Jordan Peterson to Charlemagne tha God. His face and views are reaching many.
Ron’s Gate Cult hardest hit.
Pleas clap.
Except for Assa, everyone on that list is better than Romney, better than McCain, better than Bush II, Better than Dole, better than Bush I.
The big difference on any and all lists of Republican candidates is not whether they agree with me 90% or 85% of the time. It is whether they have the guts to do what they believe in and promise to do...even if it is 10 or 20% different than my priorities.
It is in the guts department that Trump outscores his rivals of the past.
Nice to see De Sanctimonious getting his comeuppance.
Don’t bother with these anti Vivek fools. They are perpetuating easily disprovable lies.
So he had a picture taken in the capacity of POTUS.
Yes! Our first non American president on the republican side. It was bound to happen.
DeSantis could boost his poll numbers by rebooting his campaign, for 2028.
No thanks. The controlled opposition has learned the MAGA language and bullet points very well but Im not buying into any of their trojan horses.
Not really. We win regardless. We still get him as governor. Unlike trump who will run in 2028 and 2032 until he exhausts his last efforts.
