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.

That’s going to leave a mark.

“damn committee”
They are exploring for campaigning cash.
Trump knows the value of publicity.
And so does Ron DeSantis.
This.
DeSantis is merely greasing the rails for 2028.
As a Floridian, I want him to continue his work for the state, which he’s doing, regardless of where he is physically.
While I will only vote for Trump next year, I do not buy these stories of President Trump heading for a ‘coronation’ as the Republican nominee next year.
The Uniparty & their stooges in the media are setting us up for something. I don’t know what, but it is coming.
Trump is going to crush Biden.
“Wondering if all of this EARLY polling will give CONSERVATIVE voters a sense of false security about 2024??”
No rational person has a sense of security in a country run by Donkey Communists.
We let Pence lovers on FR? Who knew?
Desantis is greasing himself like a stuck pig.
DeSantis has been writing books, soliciting endorsements from Florida officials he has ignored from Day 1 despite their attempts to engage. He is traveling around the globe on personal business not Florida business, he has been a no show for Florida issues. It's all about what he can do that sells him as Presidential candidates.
Evil people in New York State are out to get Trump, and they will.
I think Bebe is endorsing Trump....
The fake case in Manhatten is going nowhere fast.
“Pence lovers... Who knew?”
his wife, children and dogs
Desantis is greasing himself like a stuck pig.
What does this even mean? I think you combined a few cliches/sayings there. But not successfully.
“Trump is going to crush Biden.”
Biden is going to crush Biden (and most of the USA too).
Tell me how Trump beats the ballot counters in Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Atlanta or Phoenix when Ronna McDo-nothing, whom Trump supported, is still in charge of the RNC. At least DeSantis pushed for change in that position. Trump keeps doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different outcome. There’s a word for that...
I like Bebe. He & President Trump have an excellent relationship.
Trump beat biden in 2020. He’ll be president if he can figure out how to beat a system that cheats. We saw it again in 2022, so they seem no closer to figuring it out.
So, it won’t matter who run on the repub side. The cheating will bring them down.
“The fake case in Manhatten is going nowhere fast.”
Which one?
