Trump has 'what appears to be an insuperable 36-point lead' over the Florida Governor.
New polling of the 2024 Republican presidential race offers good news for Donald Trump and red flags for Ron DeSantis.
“Trump’s edge, when it comes to his own party, again appears insurmountable at this early stage of the nominating process,” claims the memo accompanying the latest I&I/TIPP Poll.
The story is a familiar one of traction for Trump and doldrums for DeSantis. The former President’s 55% support gives him “what appears to be an insuperable 36-point lead” over DeSantis’ 19%.
Other names are even further back.
Former Vice President Mike Pence has 6% support, followed by former United Nations envoy Nikki Haley and current South Carolina U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, both at 3%. Author Vivek Ramaswamy and New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu each have 2% support, meanwhile, with other names further back still.
The poll of 482 likely Republican Primary voters was in the field May 31 through June 2, before Trump’s federal indictment and before Sununu ruled out a run for the White House.
The 36-point Trump lead is well above the margin of error of +/- 4.6 percentage points for the Republican and Republican-leaning sample.
This poll is in line with the Race to the White House polling average, which shows the former President with 55% support, against 22% for DeSantis.
Race to the White House, at least at this point, sees a lopsided delegate fight. It forecasts Trump with 1,862 delegates in a crowded field, well above the 1,234 needed to win, with DeSantis mired at 539.
In a field that narrows to Trump and DeSantis after Nevada, the landscape is more forbidding still for the Florida Governor. Trump is projected to have 1,971 delegates in that scenario, with DeSantis garnering just 484.

Do not project your own goodness onto the Dems/Soros/CCP types. They are ruthless and will applaud as you go to the concentration camp.
May God protect Donald Trump and us.
“ If any state tries to keep him off the ballot, or if the feds or any state tries to restrict his movement or communications, the USSC will slap them down.”
On what basis?
There are no Presidential elections in the Constitution, and there certainly isn’t anything about “announcing”, “running”, “delegates”, “conventions”, “debates” or anything else that people bring up about how suppressing Trump is going to involve a Federal Constitutional issue.
The GOP is a private organization, free to run their affairs the way its directors decide. There is no right to be nominated, no right to be on the ballot, no right to be invited to debate, etc.
The “two parties” have closed ranks. Their agreement about “no ideas that disturb us” is firm.
“On what basis?”
He does not need the GOP to gain ballot access.
God works in mysterious ways and at this point, Trump is the mystery to behold.
DeSantis has zero chance of being elected president.
Vivek is causing quite a stir with right groups.
Don't worry we won't get stuck with that loser Desantis.
Donate to the Trump campaign.
“Trump starts out strong because of lavish spending, then craters as he runs out of cash to counter the opposition’s campaign spending.”
Dream on. Trump is making money hands over fist from the “little people, us” since they indicted him. He will role over all opponents in a nanosecond. You anti-Trumpers are delusional.
“So just crown trump and just be done with it.”
Sounds like an excellent idea. Will you facilitate it please. You know that is exactly what you want to do.
“All it takes is one state to pierce the mirage of inevitability and a lot of voters will flip.”
I just love your desperate wishful thinking. The die is cast.
“Ronald Herbert Walker DeSantis is a Bush Crime Family, Inc. production.
Please clap.”
LOL. I love the “please clap” touch here.
because they almost never do what they say the will about many things, why would this time be different then the norm?
I love how you dismiss the idea that voters will jump ship if he’s unable to campaign or debate because he’s in jail. I’m sure a lot of you kamikazes will hang on but a majority? Yeesh
Rudy started primary season 3-0 which year again?
Rudy would have beat Obama like a rented mule, and saved us all a lot of trouble.
“I love how you dismiss the idea that voters will jump ship if he’s unable to campaign or debate because he’s in jail.”
Because he won’t BE in jail before the election. That must be wishful thinking on your part. Trump is going to win the primaries and then the general election. Get used to it.
The establishments attempts to make Desantis the Trump slayer are a failure…
Desantis’ decision to play along with them in this attempt is almost certainly going no to damage his brand long term..
I hope he got a big check, because his future in politics is going to be far more limited after this charade
Better luck next time!
There probably won't be a next time for a former governor, as DeSantis will be in 2028. So if Trump does get the nomination he better not screw it up. That means disavowing his former support for the clot shot and not appointing swamp creatures to fill key positions.
Let’s make something clear, here. If Trump is killed, physically, MAGA will vote against the GOPe, even if that means for a Democrat, because Uniparty means Uniparty.
If you'd rather vote for a Rat than any Republican other than Trump, then what are you doing here on FR? We're never going to fight elitism by voting for the party of elitism.
I never have and will never donate money to any campaign.
