The latest survey shows Trump asserting his sheer dominance in Florida after trailing in this same survey mere months ago.
In May, for instance, the two presidential hopefuls were tied, but DeSantis’s standing has continually dropped over the course of his presidential campaign.
August’s survey shows Trump leading the Republican field in Florida with 59 percent of the vote, reflecting a 21-point increase from his standing in late May. DeSantis now comes in a distant second, 39 points behind Trump, having 23 percent. That reflects a 15-point drop since late May, resulting in a 36-point swing away from DeSantis to Trump during the summer. No other candidate listed comes remotely close, as former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie comes in a distance third, with four percent support, followed by anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy with three percent support. Every other candidate garnered less than three percent:
2024 Florida Republican Primary (Shift since 5/27):
Trump 59% (+21)
DeSantis 23% (-15)
Christie 4%
Ramaswamy 3% (+3)
Haley 2% (-1)
Pence 1% (-2)
Scott 1% (-2)
.
Head-2-Head:
Trump 64% (+25)
DeSantis 36% (-4).@VictoryPolling, 590 LV, 8/21-23 https://t.co/Xjm6Kunt2U

The survey also examined Trump and DeSantis going head-to-head in the Sunshine State and found Trump leading 64 percent to DeSantis’s 36 percent, with leaners included.

More via the survey’s summary:
In a head-to-head matchup, Trump leads DeSantis by 27 points in the Sunshine State, a 28-point swing since our last poll in May. And on the full ballot of Republican contenders, Trump’s lead jumps to a whopping 36 points. The data clearly indicates a massive increase in support for Trump over DeSantis in the last few months.
BTTT
I expect ronnie to be primaried and not even be governor soon.
Most likely the good people don’t want to lose a great governor verses a almost certain proven loser in Trump
Meatball needs to drop out
When DeSantis started campaigning for president before he even showed up for his first day on the job in his second term as governor, everyone except his most loyal supporters recognized that the guy is 100% full of sh!t — and that his entire tenure as governor of Florida was little more than a stage act.
And that’s when most Republicans were reminded of why they supported Trump in the first place back in 2016.
Who are "Victory Polling?" I've never heard of them.
And what explains the volatility of their results?
He’s in his second Term.😄😄
Most likely people don’t like liars. And Ron’s a big one.
By whom?
Do you think if you hadn't intentionally deleted the header -- out of embarrassment -- you'd know? LOL.
Lol. RDS, the greatest governor in America ain’t dropping out no matter how many of these irrelevant polls Trump and his other child Vivek are throwing away money on. Trump really should have waited longer and held on to what little money his campaign has, because everyday people don’t pay any attention to the primaries this far out.
Thanks for letting me know with the smiley faces that Florida has term limits. I did not know.
Do you think if you hadn't intentionally deleted the header -- out of embarrassment --
I took the header out to make it more readable. Why would you assume to know anything about me? I have an MS in Data Science and find this graphic amateurish with poorly a poorly scaled "y" axis.
And, the header explains nothing.
I am kind of embarrassed about DeSantis’ presidential campaign. He was certainly not ready for such a race.
After Trump gets clobbered in 2024 and hands the House and Senate to the Democrats, Florida under DeSantis will be one of the only remaining beacons of freedom remaining in the United States.
I will continue to support DeSantis until he is officially out of the race because he's the only candidate running with a track record of conservative victories (the stuff we used to celebrate on Free Republic).
DeSantis took 3 1/2 years to pass a Stop Woke bill in Florida despite Republican statehouse supermajorities. Meanwhile, Youngkin stopped CRT in his first week as Governor.
You're funny droop, but not in the way you'd hope for...
