Iowa poll shows Florida gov closing the gap on Trump after first Republican debate
Fox News ^ | August 25, 2023 | Houston Keene

Donald Trump remains on top of the polls among Republican presidential candidates, but the gap between the former president and his onetime political protégé could be narrowing following the first GOP debate.

A new poll from Public Opinion Strategies — a polling firm working for the DeSantis' campaign — shows Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis closing in on Trump among Iowa voters.

The poll, obtained by Fox News Digital, interviewed 400 Iowa likely GOP caucus-goers and included a ballot test that saw DeSantis rise from 14% support up to 21% post-debate.

Trump slid by one percentage point, from 42% to 41%.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley also saw a large bump in the polls, rising from 3% support to 11% post-debate, while South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott slid from 8% to 7%.

Businessman Vivek Ramaswamy saw the largest slide, dropping from 10% support to 7%. Former Vice President Mike Pence remained at 2% in the poll.

Just being fair. The world is not black and white, especially when it comes to Trump.

LOL you said “NOT”

That reminds me in “Wayne’s World” they would say something, then say “NOT”, which was meant to nullify whatever had been said . I think that this “NOT” type of statement was popularized by “Wayne’s World”.

FNC Polls are among the worst and Ron is their boy, even at that Trump has a 20 point lead in this poll. My guess is that mug shot and DeSantis half assed response is make the gap even bigger.

Enough said about this poll. DeSantis gets what he pays for with his employees.

“You’re the one who is sad and pathetic

Don’t you have a car battery to go suck on?”


People attack and criticize because:
1. They have not been trained how to master and control their mind, emotions and negative ego programming.
2. They are run by fear, and fearful people attack.
3. They are out of control which causes them to get angry in a vain attempt to get back in control; however, this is illusion for their angry response is showing they are still out of control.
4. They are too much run by their emotional body. When you allow your feelings and emotions to run your life, the negative ego becomes the programmer of your feelings and emotions.
5. They are jealous. They suffer from low self-esteem and are constantly competing and comparing themselves with others to try to feel good about themselves. They are trapped in that negative ego complex of being better than others or worse than others.
6. They are lacking self-love and self-worth. They attack and criticize to try to move to the topside of the negative ego instead of the bottom side of the negative ego. They don’t understand that they are trapped in negative ego duality altogether.

Looking to push another story attacking Trump, since your attempt with the story Trump sold Mar-A-Lago to his son turned out to be fake news?

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4177718/posts

Who ever could have predicted you’d keep attacking Trump?

The poll was conducted Aug. 24, the day after a fiery Wednesday debate among eight GOP presidential candidates. It had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I just posted the article for discussion, which was carried by many major news services including the NY Post. The full story is yet to be learned.

All polls are useless. As previously stated, fine one you want to run with.

ALL POLLS ARE FAKE NEWS, AND EVERYBODY KNOWS IT!!!!

Oh, wait....Haven’t SoConPubbie and others been endlessly posting articles touting polls saying that Trump is ahead and increasing his lead?? Are those legitimate?

I’m so confused. /s

I support Trump, however, let’s be real. If Trump were to die or have a stroke, DeSantis is the best of the rest. I would prefer Rand Paul, but he isn’t running. I can’t think of anyone else.

Since you used the term meatball to describe DeSantis how about jailbird to describe Trump. I hate name calling and Trump puppets are good at it, not all but some

lol....

Still trying to cover yourself and make it seem like it’s a real story....

Even after zillow retracted the listing from their web site.

But then again... this should be expected from you, based on your posting history.

People reject crap because it's smells like a turd and squawks like a libtard

It's really just that simple. Take your misinformation and shove it
