Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis would soundly beat former President Donald Trump in hypothetical one-on-one primary matchups in four crucial states, according to a poll released by an influential conservative group Monday, just a day before Trump is expected to announce a bid for the White House in 2024.
The poll, published by the economy-focused Club for Growth, comes after a poor showing for Trump-backed candidates in midterm elections, which saw several of his high-profile endorsees lose and spurred many on the right – including former Trump devotees – to question if the former president should be the future of the party. By contrast, DeSantis, who has been more coy about his plans for 2024 but has taken steps to raise his national profile, won reelection by a decisive margin.
The data and the timing of its release may also constitute a clear message from the powerful Republican group to Trump, signaling who they would back if DeSantis and Trump were vying for the GOP nomination. The Club for Growth supported Trump in the past, though it had a falling out with the former president in the last year. The club still endorsed many candidates who embraced Trump and his brand of conservative politics – including denying Trump’s 2020 election loss – in the recent midterm elections.
Club for Growth President David McIntosh joined other Republicans in urging Trump not to announce a 2024 bid on Tuesday evening, imploring him to wait at least until after the Senate runoff in Georgia in early December, according to Politico, which was the first to report the results of the poll. McIntosh told the news site that voters needed to be “united” and that many saw Trump’s recent insults against other Republicans as “hollow and counterproductive.”

“How is it cherry picking? PA, GA and AZ were the ripest targets for the Republicans. And Trump endorsed bad candidates in all 3.”
Oh I don’t know...maybe because his endorsements were something like 219-16....something like that. Keep chomping those cherries, just watch for the pits. TDS is a real thing!
It is all part of the big push by the globalists and Rinos to discourage MAGA and hope it goes away. They are trying to do the same thing they did to the Tea Party. The establishment republicans and elites will do anything, say anything and cheat to ensure Trump does not run and if he runs does not win the nomination or the eventual election.
TOS (Trump Obsession Syndrome) is rapidly eclipsing TSD. He’s star is quickly falling, but the bitter enders will probably never let go.
Trump is about to announce and take in millions in campaign funds. I guess you want someome like Pence to run.
Look at the Kari Lake polls just prior to the election.
Yet here we are some of us, thrilled to quote new polls.
Elections are crooked, but polls aren’t?
All of Tuesday's votes aren't even finished being forged & counted yet, but here go the "polls" for 2 years from now, when elections might be a thing of the nostalgic past.
Sufficient to the day is its own trouble. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Matthew 6:34 (KJB)
“I like Desantis”
So do I. They are baiting him to oppose Trump, because they know President Trump will end honey pot they all feed at in DC.
Hey man, do me a favor? Do an Opus, that way we can all be in on it. When you clowns ride the lightening in the middle of the night, I always miss it.
Cut it out!
If you're trashing Trump, you're part of the problem.
If you're trashing DeSantis, you're part of the problem.
If you're trashing Youngkin, you're part of the problem.
Etc.
Quit being part of the problem!
AMEN, Brother!
The MSM telling us how to vote again because the are right so often.
“TOS (Trump Obsession Syndrome) is rapidly eclipsing TSD. He’s star is quickly falling, but the bitter enders will probably never let go.”
Obsession? How cute. Did you come up with that on your own? You’re not only suffering from TDS but yes, you have an unhealthy obsession with Trump. Are you a paying member of the Lincoln Pedo Project? Congrats
There is large contingent in this room who, if they were walking behind Trump and he farted, would bottle it up as quickly as possible so they could sniff it when they got home.
(Admit it... you got a little aroused at the thought).
Like I said.....you’ve got issues clown...now...go dance for the Pedo Project.
No issues at all. I like winners. Desantis won huge. Trump increasingly comes off as a bitter, old, unhinged loser. Sorry the truth stings.
That’s it...keep dancing for the Pedo Project....you’ve got a good rhythm going now!
