Survey: DeSantis and Christie Tied for Second Post-Debate
Breitbart ^ | 8 Sep 2023 | HANNAH BLEAU

Former President Donald Trump is maintaining a dominant lead post-debate in the Republican primary race, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie are tied for second place, Friday’s Rasmussen Reports survey found.

The survey asked 1,418 U.S. likely Republican primary voters, “If the Republican presidential primary were held today, which of the following candidates would you vote for?”

Trump maintained his status as the dominant frontrunner with 45 percent support. No other candidate came remotely close, as DeSantis slipped into the single digits with nine percent support. Christie tied him, also garnering nine percent support in the crowded field of candidates.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley came in just two points behind with seven percent support, followed by anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy with five percent, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott with four percent, and former Vice President Mike Pence with four percent. Another 11 percent are “not sure,” and three percent said, “some other candidate.”

The survey added that “a large potential ‘crossover’ vote could have a significant impact in states with open primaries.”

It continued:

Democrats and unaffiliated voters are less likely than self-identified Republicans to support Trump. For example, both Scott and Christie get significant support from self-identified liberals who say they’ll vote in the 2024 Republican primaries.

This poll shows DeSantis as 36 points down.

Yet you are still so afraid of DeSantis as you post thread after thread day after day fake news against him.

“Survey: DeSantis and Christie Tied for Second Post-Debate”

DeSantis in SINGLE DIGITS. Hopefully a MAGA runs, just in case the Leftists (Ukraine War supporters) manage to take out Trump.

Based on his obese appearance alone, Christie is a laughingstock and an embarrassment.

I’m hoping the second debate will be better. The people who have absolutely no chance should be weeded out by then, so we can focus on the people who have almost no chance.
