A new national poll points to the same old gender gap for Ron DeSantis in the 2024 GOP presidential race.
The survey from Fairleigh Dickinson University shows the Florida Governor has just 11% support in next year’s Primaries among women, as compared to 15% among men. All told, he’s at 13% with people who are firmly committed to his choice.
DeSantis is far behind former President Donald Trump, who has 55% support overall: 52% of women, and 59% of men.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Vice President Mike Pence are each at 5% among committed voters. Christie is at 6% among women, while Pence is at 5% with female voters.
Others are further back, and 13% don’t know who they will support.
When leaners are in the equation, the numbers are a little more favorable for DeSantis. The Governor has 15% overall support: 17% of men, and just 13% of women.
He’s still way behind Trump, however, who has 58% support when leaners are factored in.
This is just the latest survey to denote DeSantis’ difficulties with women voters, after his administration pushed a six-week abortion ban this year, as well as legislation banning permanent alimony in divorce agreements.
In an Echelon Insights survey conducted between July 24 and July 27, the Florida Governor is behind both Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy with women who intend to vote in the 2024 Republican presidential nominating contests.
Just 12% of the 217 women polled prefer DeSantis, putting him behind Trump (54%) and Ramaswamy (17%).
A survey of 262 Republican women conducted by The Economist and YouGov between July 22 and July 25 revealed a dismal 13% of women backing the Governor. In that poll, Trump had the support of 55% of women, but Ramaswamy only had 5%, so DeSantis was still in second place among female Republican voters.
A Yahoo! News survey conducted between July 13 and July 17 shows just 24% of the U.S. adult women polled approve of DeSantis, with 48% disapproving.
A July Civiqs survey revealed 63% of women disapprove of the Florida Governor, with 60% of female independent voters and 93% of Democratic women against him. With Republican women, DeSantis had just 18% disapproval against 65% approval, however.
The Ghoulish Meatball remains in the race in hopes that Trump will be jailed. That’s his deal.
Even then, DeSantos is finished. You can see not many women are buying his beard.
Yep, that's how I see it as well.
If that happens it will really be embarrassing when his numbers drop even more and Trump’s rise.
Trump jumped in early for a reason...He started with 100%.
Does that include men who think they are women?
Yep, and the reality is, even if Trump does get convicted by one of these political prosecutions, he’ll still win the primaries....
The NeverTrump/Uniparty/Globalist are completely in denial
the Florida Governor has just 11% support in next year’s
Primaries among women,

Well life goes on, like it or not until we stop breathing.
Such an epic screw up. He could have been supportive of Trump and if the rats managed to use lawfare to take Trump off the board he would have been in a perfect place to prevail as a revenge candidate. If the rats failed (assuming they want to) he could spend the next 4 years building his stature and having a near lock on 28. The day he took the meeting with the GOPe was the day he cut his own throat
The world is revolting against Swamps everywhere. See last night’s results in Argentina.
Anyone aligned with the Republican party is not desirable. Period. Anyone aligned, verbally, announcing commitment to it, with Drain The Swamp is not aligned with the party.
That is the only measurement. That is the only political issue. Only Trump has made an effort. No one else has said ANYTHING about rejecting party norms.
Yep, the base is sick of Romney, Ryan, Rove, Bush, and all these old establishment GOPers that screwed the base year after year.
Who is your second choice for POTUS? If Trump is convicted of anticipated state charge(s) in Georgia, neither the GA Governor nor POTUS can pardon, even if they wanted to. Ominous. Best to have a backup plan.
Joe Biden’s disapproval rating has descended almost into Jimmy Carter levels. A number of the current Republican contenders could defeat Biden handily by running an issues-oriented campaign, as Biden drools in his basement and depends on the mainstream media to carry water for him. Unfortunately, Biden remains quite viable when matched against Trump, whose disapproval rating rivals Biden’s.
As the Only Trump crowd remains gleeful at Trump’s current lead in the GOP nomination fight, the only group more gleeful is the DNC, as they know Trump is the only candidate Biden stands a chance of defeating. Here are the four most recent General Election poll results:
Emerson – Trump 45, Biden 43
Morning Consult – Biden 43, Trump 42
Insider Advantage – Biden 45, Trump 44
NY Times / Sienna – Biden 43, Trump 43
Trump hit his high water mark in the 2020 election when he carried 46.8% of the vote. Today, he is stuck in the low-to-mid 40s with zero prospect of increasing that number. He is a known quantity. The voters know him well, and no one is changing their mind about him. At present, he is in the process of insulting and bullying his way to the GOP nomination, along the way permanently alienating a huge swath of Republican voters who would be essential to building a winning coalition. He doesn’t care – this is all about Trump and getting his vindication.
The Only Trump crowd cannot seem to see this. Presuming Trump wins the nomination, Biden would proceed to stay in the basement and blanket the swing states with $2 billion in slickly produced ads and inevitably squeak out a victory in November. Shortly thereafter, he would turn the keys over to Kamala Harris. It’s not too late for the Only Trump crowd to see this coming, but judging by Trump’s fans on FR, that seems unlikely.
Yours seems a reasonable argument, however none of the others poll any better than Trump against Traitor Joe. One thing Trump does have is Presidential record with some very good accomplishments. Things weren’t a little better they were a LOT better.
Trump's 73.6 million votes were the high water mark for ANY R candidate in history.
The never-Trump crowd is in denial when they imagine that a DeSantis or Krispie, or Pence ( or any of the other also ran losers ) will come anywhere near that. Probably more like 65 million R votes, tops.
Yeah RDS isn’t going to drop out because a 78 year old rage tweeting blowhard thinks he is owed the nomination when the Iowa caucuses are six months out. Trump knows those polls are BS otherwise he wouldn’t obsess so much on the greatest governor in the nation.
Trump knows he is toast when it comes to him rolling over to Covid incorporated and his horrific death jab and his terrible backstabbing hires like Wray, Barr, Bolton, and all of those fruitcake generals. Trump never read the details of the CARES act which pretty much guaranteed the fraudulent election in swing states and non swing states like GA and AZ and NV..
The Whithouse stops needing to be a nursing home. And RDS isn’t betraying Trump anymore than Hailey, Pence, Christie, Scott, or the guy who does rapping.
“Yours seems a reasonable argument, however none of the others poll any better than Trump against Traitor Joe”.

With the possible exception of Pence, there is plenty of upside for some of the other candidates, as they are not yet as well known by the General Electorate. Should one of them get the GOP nomination (such as DeSantis), they would then have unlimited resources to introduce themselves to the voters, and more particularly do a compare and contrast with Biden. If the introduction is done effectively and their campaign is focused on issues voters care about, their popularity could sky rocket quickly.
Not so with Trump. He’ll be in court for much of 2024, in between doing gripe sessions and holding rallies in friendly venues. All the while staying stuck in the low to mid-40’s, and with little to no chance of carrying the swing states.
