A majority of Republican likely voters support former President Donald Trump in the Republican primary race, while Gov. Ron DeSantis drops to the lower teens, Monday’s Rasmussen Reports survey found.

According to the survey, 95 percent of Republican likely voters are at least somewhat likely to vote in the GOP presidential primary. Of those, 85 percent are “very” likely. When asked which candidate they plan to support for the nomination, 57 percent of Republicans chose Trump. Only one other individual listed saw double-digit support: DeSantis, who fell into the lower teens with 13 percent support.

Anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy saw three percent support, and five percent remain undecided:

The poll follows a weekend release of several state-level polls — from Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina — showing Trump maintaining his dominating lead but DeSantis slipping. The South Carolina poll, particularly, showed the Florida governor falling from second place to third, overtaken by former Gov. Nikki Haley.

“The Iowa and New Hampshire surveys, while still showing DeSantis in second place, show other candidates creeping up scarily close behind him, suggesting they are about to overtake him there, too,” as Breitbart News

Jeff Roe of DeSantis’ ‘Never Back Down’ PAC is apparently telling donors that the PAC can finance other candidates.

I was referring to his polling numbers, but you knew that but were trying to appear clever. It failed.

But, what was I being “clevor” about?

Perhaps, in addition to, I’m stating an opinion as to what I think about “polls”.
