Internal polling from backers of Ron DeSantis show the Florida governor gaining ground against primary competitor Donald Trump in the first-in-the-nation primary contest state of Iowa.
A new Never Back Down PAC survey shared with Axios has DeSantis closing the gap between frontrunner Trump by 14 percent since his presidential announcement.
But when the other candidates were taken out of the equation and DeSantis and Trump were put in a head-to-head matchup, the pro-DeSantis PAC found the two frontrunners are effectively tied in Iowa – compared to the governor's 14-point deficit in mid-May.
A new CNN survey conducted the day of DeSantis' announcement showed Trump up 56 percent to DeSantis' 26 percent.

The TRULY independent polls.
If there are any left.
Internal polling..lol.
Yeah, this is a push poll. In reality Trump is still miles ahead of DeSantis and that’s not gonna change.
Speaking of lies, how are you enjoying Trump’s border wall keeping all of those illegals out?
It’s a fragmented field, and Trump is no one’s second choice. We’ll see.

So we can just toss this poll right into the trash can.
Oh you mean the libertarian globalist guy who took money from Soros and then lied about it?
