The survey found that 43 percent of likely caucusgoers back Trump for nomination, up from 41 percent in April in another J.L Partners/DailyMail poll. DeSantis pinged at 26 percent in April, and while he remains in second place with 17 percent, he now finds Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) on his heels.

Scott takes 11 percent of the share, marking the largest gain in the Hawkeye State in the last four months of any candidate, followed by entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy at five percent. Both men garnered just one percent support in April.
“Though voters continue to have a positive view of the man himself, support for DeSantis is falling fast and now only six points separate him and Tim Scott for second place,” J.L. Partners cofounder James Johnson told the Mail.
Former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) has slid from five percent to three percent since April, while former Vice President Mike Pence remains at three percent despite launching his campaign in between the polls.
Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND) is alone at two percent, while former Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX) and former Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-AR) round out the field with one percent each.

Most are on the list to acquire as much of the never Trumpers money as they can.....
Tim Scott is a McConnell lackey. He endorsed RINO Lisa Murkowski over her conservative opponent.
Tim Scott is with Lindsey Graham on the eternal Ukraine disaster.
Who is crazy enough to support this Deep State puppet?

Sadly if Trump had not been a candidate in this election 2024, the subject of how Biden is weaponizing our federal agencies to go after those who are conservative minded and they would have been screaming about how unfair Donald Trump is being treated and how this is a dangerous slope and a threat to our freedom as a people if this goes unchecked, uninvestigated and if justice is not served.
But instead, Donald Trump is running and far ahead of everyone so their stance is silence, who cares if the White House sends the DOJ against the candidate who (according to the polls) is likely to be the President’s opponent. Hey, if election interference and banana republic tactics will help my pro-small-government , pro-freedom of speech republican candidate win. Who cares what happens to Trump if it helps my candidate?
Freedom of speech and justice for all be damned as long as my guy wins.
I’d have seriously thought of voting for Gov Desantis if I didn’t have to spend the next 4 years wondering “Did he really win? Or is his victory a result of Biden’s interfering with the elections all the way back to the GOP Primaries.
I’ll vote for Trump. If he wins, he’s the ONLY candidate I can know really really really won.
Establishment DeSantis supporters are the ones likely moving to Scott. They realize how bad a candidate DeSantis is.
Byron Donalds is the real deal.
DeSantis “the election fraud theories were proven to be false” That is why he is sliding now. His donors told him he must go moderate and he responded with that. A Dukakis helmet.
Scott will likely be Trump’s VP choice
Interesting point. We only know it’s a legitimate election if Trump wins. Hard to argue with the logic.
He has a great start but needs more seasoning.
“Interesting point. We only know it’s a legitimate election if Trump wins. Hard to argue with the logic”.
Iowa polls are meaningless at this point, as their history shows minds are made up fairly late in the game. That being said, if the current poll is accurate, it shows 57% of Iowans want someone other than Trump.
As with the early 16 candidate onslaught against Trump in the first debates, today’s also rans had been try for being the new Hucklebee with a weekly TV variety show and jazzy studio band.
typo
had better try
Trump will never choose Tim Scott as his VP.
He’ll pick a REAL populist and conservative, not a neo-con wannabe’.
Josh Hawley or Ted Cruz would fill the bill nicely. Picking someone who fills a WOKE box has finally lost its appeal, thanks to Kamala.
