Former President Donald Trump continues to dominate the Republican primary field as his lead over Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has grown ten points in two weeks, according to a YouGov/Economist poll.
The survey, published Wednesday, shows that 54 percent of registered Republicans and independents who plan to vote in their state’s Republican presidential primary back Trump. He has climbed six points since another YouGov/Economist poll taken between July 8-11.

Trump stands 36 points ahead of DeSantis, who registers at 18 percent. DeSantis has fallen off 4 points compared to a few weeks ago, when he garnered 22 percent support. The movement between the top two candidates marks a net gain of ten points to Trump’s lead over DeSantis this month.
Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who has surged in several recent national polls, has six percent support, which is good enough for third place. He has climbed four points in recent weeks, marking the largest increase in support in the field outside of Trump.
Former President Mike Pence, former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC), and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) tie at three percent, while one percent say they would vote for former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ). No other candidate secured a percentage point. Another nine percent are undecided, while three percent said they would sit out the primary.

If my math is correct, 12% would choose “Undecided” which would rank in 3rd place
The Meatball’s campaign and poll numbers are imploding.
How can Ronnie’s supporters believe Ronnie can beat Biden
when he can’t beat Trump?
DeSantis needs another reboot. /sarc
Jeb! 2.0 needs to drop his GOPe handlers and end his association with the Republican RINO leadership if he wants a real chance.
Trump’s the nominee. Biden the president in 2025. Just freaking great.
Then dig deep into your personal wallet and give Ronnie more of
your hard earned Navy Retirement money to win the GOP Primary.
Well, well, well. Twice today, I’ve had news headlines claiming Trump is not running. Looking closer shows these articles were from 2011. He must have them scared. Anyway, heads up if you’re getting the same leftist bs.
Trump not only has them scared, but he also has them TERRIFIED!
Thanks for the heads-up.
They’ll try any old lie, won’t they?

That has been my question since Day One.
BTTT
DeSantis seemed to have some good things to offer.. but challenging a sitting party leader...especially someone so exceptionally popular as PDJT.... was simply not a success strategy.
DeSantis made a name for himself, however, and no doubt plans to make a more serious run for the office in 2028
He should have waited for 2028 from the beginning. He could have backed Trump full force then received the Don’s blessing in 2028.
You certainly are obsessed with Ron De Santis, all day and every day. I get it. He is young, a veteran, has a beautiful young family, fought Disney and won, fired woke prosecutors, and doesn’t surround himself with back stabbers like Trump. Ron doesn’t make promises like 77 year old Trump, who promises but never delivers. RDS delivers without the empty promises and it’s always too late for Dems to stop him. He won reelection by 20 percent after cleaning out the Dem corruption. Trump never thought to clean out Dem corruption.
Also Trump got rolled by Covid Inc and we all paid the price. Same goes for the blot clot jab. If you want more communists running amok in our lives, go ahead and vote for the aging New Yorker who will never admit being wrong about anything.
Honestly I wish it were a joke.
I know trumpie’s going to win the nomination. He’ll lose the election again because although he cries theft, he did nothing to fix the so called theft. So…..what do you think will happen? President Biden!
What is Ronnie’s plan to stop theft?
Look at Florida and there you have it. He’ll do it nationally. But people want trump so he can continue the status quo.
