Ron DeSantis is struggling in GOP Primary polling in North Carolina, with the latest survey from the John Locke Foundation being his worst showing yet.
The Florida Governor has just 12% support in the poll of 600 likely Republican Primary voters, which was conducted Oct. 8 and Oct. 9. That puts him 40 points behind Donald Trump’s 52%, and in a statistical tie with Nikki Haley’s 11% given the poll’s margin of error of +/- 3.88 percentage points.
An additional 12% of respondents were undecided, with Vivek Ramaswamy’s 5% good for fourth place among actual candidates. The pollster calls the results a “runaway” for Trump.
“Trump still has a hold on North Carolina Republicans,” said Locke CEO Donald Bryson. “With a lead like this, it is hard to imagine what would be required for another Republican candidate to pass him in the polls to win North Carolina’s GOP delegates.”
While North Carolina apportions its 75 delegates proportionally after its March Primary, the current trend suggests Trump will get the majority of them, with other candidates battling for scraps.
DeSantis lost nearly half of his support from a May survey from the same pollster, in which he had 22% support.

Trump is up at least 40 points pretty much everywhere, including North Carolina. Desantis is in 3rd place in NH and SC and is losing FL. Most astroturfed candidacy in history.
Just QUIT already and shut down the stupid debates- we don’t need them
ONLY the GOP party wants them, which means they don’t want to let Trump have it, so WHY DO WE STILL HAVE A GOP PARTY??
Let’s form a new MAGA PARTY!!!! No current GOP office holders eligible
When you’re riding the tiger its hard to get off. 😏
When you’re living off your taxpayer-funded campaign, it’s hard to get off the circus ride. If he hadn’t had the State Legislature change the resign-to-run law, so he didn’t have to resign to run for President, and he was living off his own funds, he would have quit by now.
So true!
