Former President Donald Trump has surged to 62 percent support in April among Republican primary voters, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has crashed to 16 percent, Emerson College polling trends show.
Since January, Trump has gained 20 points over DeSantis, when the former president held 55 percent of GOP support, with DeSantis at 29 percent support, a 26-point spread.
In February, Trump gained four points over DeSantis for a 30-point advantage. Trump’s support remained constant with 55 percent support, while DeSantis’s dropped four points to 25 percent.
In April, Trump surged 16 points from February over Desantis to a 46-point advantage. Trump’s support increased by seven points to 62 percent, while DeSantis’s plunged nine points to 16 percent.
According to the Emerson data, Trump’s GOP support remained mostly consistent throughout January and February, while DeSantis’s slightly dropped. The drastic separation between the two presidential hopefuls began after news of the Trump indictment broke on March 31. A few days later, Trump was arraigned in New York City.
Following the indictment, Trump’s polling numbers soared to 46 points over DeSantis’s. Trump’s dominance was somewhat at DeSantis’s expense. DeSantis lost nine points of support, while Trump’s support grew seven points, a nearly inverse correlation.
The data suggests the indictment has united the Republican Party behind the former president. Trump has appeared to galvanize support by harnessing the seemingly endless far-left attacks against him that have continued even after his presidency.
In one sentence on his Truth Social bio, Trump neatly packages those attacks into a call for support.
“THEY’RE NOT COMING AFTER ME, THEY’RE COMING AFTER YOU—I’M JUST STANDING IN THEIR WAY!” it reads.

I don’t know what, but it is coming.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
What’s coming? A Deep State/Democrat conspiracy to disappear the Donald, either by a prison sentence or an unfortunate accident. He cannot be controlled and therefore he cannot be allowed anywhere near the Oval Office EVER AGAIN! And Mitch the Bitch and his stooges, known as the RINO Club, have been ordered to make sure that doesn’t happen!
I think Bebe is endorsing Trump....
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Every sane person in this country is endorsing Trump!
Trump is going to crush Biden.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
He can ensure that happens if he “goes postal” and tears into that POS every single day. He should never let a day go by without bringing to the attention of all Americans how that damn fool has done everything he possibly could to destroy our country. Hell, the list of his damaging policies may even be longer than Obama’s!!
No. Trump beat himself with unnecessary mean tweets.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Ha ha ha! Are you that guy I heard about who teaches others the wonderful skill of how to BEAT A DEAD HORSE??
So let’s nominate the one guy who will lose to him.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yeah, I also feel sure RD would get his arse handed to him by the Deep State!
I extrapolated half a dozen voters I know who did not vote in 2016 but all voted for Biden in 2020.
DeSantis will be in pockets of his rich donors. He has no choice. Without those rich donors (all globalists) DeSantis can not mount a national campaign.
I can’t even imagine how badly the “Indian” would slaughter sleepy Joe in presidential debates.
DeSantis has a new name, courtesy of DJT...MEATBALL.
Is this the same group who predicted landslide victory for Hillary Clinton?

I agree, and I have nothing against him at all, but I don’t think he could win even running against the Delaware Dunce. But I’d be happy to discover that I was wrong!

Well if they voted for the Delaware Dunce they probably intended to vote for him anyway, and Trump’s meany tweets had nothing whatever to do with how they voted.
Love that picture!
They did not vote for Hillary in 2016.
Biden is more likable than Hillary?
They all got used to the good economy and low inflation and had no clue how bad Joe could screw things up. They all thought the good economy would just keep on rolling and president Biden would act more “presidential”.
Of course it is low political IQ thinking. But 90% of voters can’t even tell name of their 2 senators and their House Rep in congress. The liberals are more my way of highway type. Many conservatives are experts at excluding anyone who is not pure as wind driven snow conservative. Those in the center are pliable as playdough and vote based on likability factor more than deep knowledge of issues.
It is what it is. Biden played it smart by hiding with a burqa in his basement. Centrists took that as Biden taking covid more seriously. Trump said during early 2020 that this covid is just another flu and will disappear when warmer weather arrives. The petrified seniors though Biden would save them better from the very contagious China virus.
