The poll, unveiled Tuesday on the Yes Labels podcast, shows Trump leads the field with 45 percent of support, up four points from June.
DeSantis has fallen off five points in that time, registering at just 13 percent in the latest poll, according to former White House Political Director Bill Stepien and Justin Clark, who co-host the podcast and co-founded National Public Affairs.

Stepien noted Trump has gained support since June among “middle-aged voters” (+7), “non-college graduates” (+9), and “evangelical men” (+6).
“So we always hear about the… Trump base being ‘strong,’ well its’ gotten stronger because those three groups are certainly groups that you would consider to be part of the base,” Stepien said.
Former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) are on DeSantis’s trail with 11 percent apiece. Notably, Haley’s support, like DeSantis’s, has dropped precipitously in American Greatness’s South Carolina polling, while Scott has surged. In April, she registered at 19 percent, and in June, she landed at 12 percent. Conversely, Scott surged from seven percent in April to ten percent in June.
Former Gov. Christ Christie (R-NJ) and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy are within striking distance of second place, with seven and five percent of support, respectively.

Tim McRomBush coming round the back turn!!
Who is your second choice for POTUS? If Trump is convicted of anticipated state charge(s) in Georgia, neither the GA Governor nor POTUS can pardon, even if they wanted to. Ominous. Best to have a backup plan.

Get VP Harris into the Presidents chair and all will

Question: what happens to Meatball if he falls to 4th place?
The most honest Sir Spam-A-Lot post in a long while.
That’s up to Soros but he probably won’t go easy on him.
From the state of linsaley graham and n Haley, would you expect anything else. They are center left, just like big pharma, lockdown trump.
The headline for this article (re: deSantis) is absurd. The real news here is that a former Governor (Haley) and a current Senator (Scott) are not even competitive in their home state. A footnote item is that 55% of South Carolina Republicans prefer someone other than Trump.
Hasn’t South Carolina figured out by now that Tim Scott is a McConnell RINO?
Tim Scott loves the Ukraine War, and endorsed Lisa Murkowski.
America is undergoing a totalitarian revolution. Both the democrat and republican parties out of Washington are cool with it. So what good does it do to vote republican? The choices are either vote for Trump or hope for a pro-American revolution. It would be better for Kamala Harris to become President than Tim Scott. Tim Scott would allow for America’s continued destruction but would give Americans a false sense of security that things are turning around when they are not.
Now Kamala could potentially trigger an honest to goodness revolution.
You lost me at a Kamala Harris Presidency. She dropped out of the 2020 primary before a vote was cast. Her standing has not improved. Why do you choose Tim Scott as the GOP winner?
“Hasn’t South Carolina figured out by now that Tim Scott is a McConnell RINO?

The DeSantis voters are seeking another candidate. Most are conservative, so they’re not going to move to Hutchinson or Christie, or even Haley. Scott is thought of as conservative (or at least moreso than Hutchinson or Christie), though we know he’s not. He’s a tool.
Youngkin is the ace in the hole, he’s staying out of the fray for now, which is wise.
Tim Scott is just an example of a typical Washington republican. Kamala is my dream pic for the democrat ticket for 2024. She is a long shot but she is The VP and they have ascended to the role of President before. Biden is not exactly a picture of good health either.

I try to refrain from using derogatory terms, but DeSantis is a fool if he doesn’t hang it up. By not doing so, he is continuing to demonstrate lack of judgement. IMOHO
If Biden were to attend the swearing-in ceremony, there will be a mirror on the Bible.
