The DeSantis campaign’s revamp — from laying off dozens of staffers to replacing his campaign manager — has done little to nothing to elevate his status in the polls, and the latest Yahoo/YouGov survey further demonstrates that.
Former President Donald Trump holds the lead with majority support — 52 percent. That reflects a four-point increase from his 48 percent in July.
DeSantis comes in a distant second, falling 40 points behind Trump with 12 percent support. However, that reflects an 11 point decrease from the 23 percent support the governor saw the month prior, in July.
Yahoo News notes that the 40 point lead is “also a new record.”
“Just last month, the former president led by 25,” the outlet reported.
Anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy saw a positive increase over the last month, jumping to third place with eight percent support — a five point increase since July.
South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott came in fourth place with four percent support, followed by former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley with three percent, former Vice President Mike Pence with two percent, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie with two percent sport, and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum with one percent support.
DeSantis does not fare well in a head-to-head matchup against Trump either, garnering 23 percent to Trump’s 60 percent support. That reflects a six-point increase for Trump and ten point decrease for DeSantis since last month.

De Sanctimonious...the single digit midget.
I am truly sorry Ron didn’t turn out to be who I thought he was.
This tosses the model I had for future elections.
I don’t like what has happened to de santis. I still think he is the best of the current crop for 2028.
Someone needs to tell him that republicans really don’t like anyone associated with the bushes.
He proved he was not a man of honor when he showed that his primary motivation was personal ambition.
Another pre-debate, obsolete, poll.
even desantis isn’t pro desantis, he’s just another version of the establishment never Trump.
Trumpet minions like to repeat what their puppet master says with the name calling
When he ran for his 2nd term for Governor, It was all about serving Floridians. Now not so much so. Another politician who thought gaining higher office was more important than keeping his word. He either should have backed Trump to become VP, or finished his term and run against Rubirino. Now he’s just another hack to Floridians, like Charlie Crist.
Obviously a pre-debate poll. Why do you work so hard publishing this propaganda? Is someone paying you?
Old news. Fake news. I ask again and again, why are you people so afraid of DeSantis ?
There’s only a 2 point difference as of Aug 25th.
Pot calling the kettle black.
We’ll post an after debate poll.
Ronnie will eventually slink back to FLA without the Halo Floating Above his
head and without a Presidential Nomination in hand.
FLA voters will the begin to question why Ronnie lied when he ran for re-election as Governor, but then turned around and ran for President.
In addition, GOP State House and Senate members will be scrutinized for
Greasing the skids for Ronnie. Will not be a good time for him.
You reveal your own bias in your comment. You start off by trying to make it sound like your opposition to Desantis is because he was running for higher office rather than serving out his full term. But then you reveal your real issue with Desantis. Your problem is not that he might not serve his full term, because you would be fine if he was Trump’s VP. Since that would have the same effect of him not serving out his term as if he became president, you are being dishonest in claiming that is your concern. Your problem with Desantis, like most rabid Trumpers, is that he dared to oppose Trump. Nothing more.
Oh how I wish he would have stayed out of this cycle.
