Poll: Trump Sees Another Boost amid Rumors of Looming Arrest, DeSantis Drops
Breitbart ^ | 21 Mar 2023 | HANNAH BLEAU

Posted on 03/21/2023 10:07:55 AM PDT by conservative98

Former President Donald Trump experienced yet another boost this week amid rumors of a looming arrest, the latest Morning Consult survey, released Tuesday, found.

This week’s Morning Consult survey demonstrates gains for the former president, as he now has 54 percent support — up from 52 percent recorded last week. Meanwhile, his closest potential competitor, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, lost two points, going from 28 percent to 26 percent. In other words, Trump’s lead jumped from +24 to +28 in the last week:

No other potential candidate comes close, as former Vice President Mike Pence remained consistent, coming in third place with seven percent support. Presidential candidate Nikki Haley followed with four percent support, and former Rep. Liz Cheney came one point behind with three percent support. No other potential candidate saw greater than one percent support.

Morning Consult described Trump’s lead as such:

Trump Continues to Lead DeSantis: As Trump awaits potential indictment on charges related to a 2016 hush money scheme with adult-film star Stormy Daniels, he has posted one of his largest polling leads in the 2024 Republican primary. The latest survey shows 54% of potential primary voters support the former president, compared with 26% who are backing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, tying his expected opponent’s lowest level of support since tracking began in December.

There are many Trump supporters who do not engage in the childish DeSantis bashing nonstop.

Yes, there are those who bash Trump nonstop as well. They are equally wrong.

I have my issues with Trump and will not support him in the primary. If he gets the nomination, he will get my vote, but reluctantly.

There is only 1 person who can take out Trump, and it’s been true since 2015/16.

Trump is the only person who can take out Trump.

Does anyone believe a poll this far out is an accurate reflection of primary voters?

Sure, I believe it. Doesn’t mean that in the future, circumstances on the ground wouldn’t change the numbers. Unforeseen events could happen that could conceivably change America’s destiny. No one knows.

But, I’m confident that when we finally get to the decision point in that voting booth and pull the lever, President Trump will get the chance to have his second term in office.

Why not lose again in 2024. What the heck. Repeating the same thing is not a smart decision. You guys screaming red wave in 2022 think trump can pull it off this time. Too risky.

Ron should have gotten behind Trump from the beginning. He played political games with Trump and lost. Very predictable but not my fault.

You guys thinking you're going to get a different result with a Pale Pastel copy of President Trump, namely DeSanctimonious, is not smart thinking.

Do you sincerely think that after DeSantis has pissed off fanatically Loyal Trump Supporters by being disloyal to Trump and his childish statements about this pretend affair, he has half a chance to win in the General Election, even if, by some twist of fate, he manages to win in the Primaries?

If so, you are delusional.

I’m just thankful this is trump’s last hurrah. 7 years is a long time hearing his mouth daily.

My thought...You get tens of millions of Trump/MAGA supporters PO’d and good luck with running for president.

Makes me wonder what the real motive was.

...pissed off fanatically Loyal Trump Supporters by being disloyal to Trump

Trump was the first candidate I ever gave a donation to, wish he was president, BUT I'm loyal to the country and not Trump. I'm sick of losing and supporting his loser candidates. Trump has been lobbing fake news and dumb-ass insults at the best Republican governor in the country. There is nothing more the Democrats would love than to have Biden run against Trump in 2024 because they will know they will win. So all you Trump cultists who worship Trump, enjoy losing in 2024.

You are right. Polls are a snapshot in time.
But at this time Trump is pounding Meatball.

Does anyone believe poll results about a year out? Way to much time to go right now.

I believe this one. I was tilting away from Trump and looking more at DeSantis until the rumors of possible political arrest of a former President of the United States who also happens to be an outsider when it comes to Washington DC / Politics.

If this happens, I will be paying close attention to what DeSantis has to say and how as President he will not only put a stop to this, but arrest those who are involved in such a Trump arrest.

We shall see.

2022? Really… think that’s the standard?

An ultimately winnable election lose by establishment Uniparty nonsense.

$100,000,000+ spent backing crap candidate named OZ by the establishment…

You are joking right?

How many winnable races were lost because they pumped that crap behind an unwinnable candidate and others like him and refused to spend a penny in places it might have made a difference…

GOPe is the problem!

Candidates in places that could win, pulled money to back losers because the losers were the “right” kind of “Republican”

Wake up.

Don’t have to like political reality, but Trump is going to be the nominee and the nominee by a large margin.. and that will be in spite of the entire establishment and media working to stop it.. just like they did his re-election.

How the general will play out, we will see… but there is absolutely nobody who is beating Trump for the nomination… if you think Desantis or anyone else is going to offer an option that will produce a larger more dedicated political base than MAGA has for Trump among Republican primary voters you are either delusional or very very bad at math.

“Out of that crowded field, who had 60%? Your girl Hillary.”

Hillary didn’t run for the Republican nomination. Early in the 2008 election campaign, Hillary was the odds on favorite to cruise to win the Democratic nomination. But she ended up being beaten by Obama.

In 2015, Trump was polling at 24%. Guess who ended up winning in 2016?

Your problem is you can’t see that Trump is Authentically MAGA and DeSanctimonious has been bought and sold by the Globalists and GOPE and is not authentic.
