Poll: Donald Trump Leads by Double Digits in Kansas
Breitbart ^ | 23 Feb 2023 | HANNAH BLEAU

Posted on 02/26/2023 5:20:31 PM PST by SoConPubbie

Former President Donald Trump is leading his potential Republican primary challengers in Kansas, a Remington Research Group survey shows.

The survey found 52 percent of Republican primary voters in Kansas expressing a favorable view of Trump, compared to 34 percent who view him unfavorably and 14 percent who have no opinion on the matter.

Nearly three in ten voters, 28 percent, said they will definitely vote for Trump in the primary race, compared to 37 percent who said they would vote for another candidate and 35 percent who remain unsure. However, when presented with a handful of potential candidates in a semi-crowded GOP field, Trump takes a double-digit lead.

“If the candidates in the Republican Presidential Primary were Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Mike Pompeo and Tim Scott, for whom would you vote?” the survey asked.

Trump leads with 30 percent support, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis falls 13 percent behind with 17 percent support.

Notably, DeSantis only has an advantage when pitted against Trump alone, 41 percent to 33 percent with 26 percent remaining undecided— well enough to swing the head-to-head matchup to either figure.

That aside, former Vice President Mike Pence, presidential candidate Nikki Haley, and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo each garnered nine percent support, followed by Sen. Tim Scott with two percent. Nineteen percent said they remain undecided, and six percent said they would vote for somebody else.

The survey was taken February 15-16, 2023, among 1,010 likely GOP primary voters. It has a +/- 3 percent margin of error.

I mean, might be important for Ron to do it anyway, just to let people know he didn’t just pass on running. Maybe he doesn’t want to enter that fight yet.

You may be right. He's a measured guy and has to consider a variety of factors. First and foremost was, and most likely still is his commitment to Florida residents as their governor.

Secondly, he's young and he may believe that 2028 is a better option.

I like DeSantis a lot but I would like to see Trump finish what he started and continue to kick ass. He may be too late with what's going on currently with Russia, China, and North Korea.

Biden will not run as nominee since he really is out of it.

Former POTUS Trump will be the next president since Trump will fix everything that Biden needed to or just would not do it since his handlers did not tell him to fix.

We’re pretty sure the nomination is Trump’s for the taking.

The big question is how does he do against possible democratic opposition?

I don't think so. I think he's positioning himself for 2028, when whatever happens in '24 win or lose Trump won't be in the mix anymore. Rather than take him on now, his goal is to raise his profile nationally, get his feet wet as a campaign surrogate and fund raiser, secure the goodwill of the MAGA voters and carry the banner for them in '28 once Trumps time in office is definitively over.

The only problem is that Trump keeps attacking him for no reason. Well, there is a reason, the RINOs are whispering in his ear that DeSantis is better than him and he should step down and predictably Trump goes into attack mode just as the RINOs planned and the MAGA voters are fracturing into the people who trust Trump's assertions that Desantis is bad news and those who think Trump is out of line for attacking him just because dems and RINOs have told him he should.

Meanwhile Desantis isn't playing ball by getting into a bruising fight with Trump. No, all DeSantis has done is say he supports Trump fully. I believe him on both counts. But the repeated attacks on him by Trump could be an issue in '28 unfortunately.

Tumultuous is not how I'd describe a relationship where one guy in it says horrible things about the other guy over and over and over with one break in the middle when he asks the guy for help, gets it, and then goes back to saying horrible things about him over and over and over.

Mitt is the worst sort of scum, a man who covers himself in a cloak of virtuousness when in reality at his core he's a backstabbing, power hungry snake.

With incredibly high negatives from independent and women voters.

Maybe Ron realizes now is not the time - not just the polls - he pledged to stay for his full term as governor - breaking that promise would be a definite bone-headed way to start his first run for the WH.
