Former President Donald Trump has increased his lead in the Republican primary race by double digits since June, while his rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, has continued to fall, the latest USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll revealed.
Despite months of legal woes and his decision to skip the first two Republican primary debates, Trump has only continued to strengthen his position as the leader of the GOP primary race. The survey found a majority, 58 percent, supporting Trump in the primary nationally, reflecting a ten-point increase since June.
Conversely, DeSantis trails by 46 points with 12 percent support, reflecting an 11-point drop since June, when he garnered 23 percent support. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley trails DeSantis closely, just one point behind with 11 percent support. That is a positive trend for the presidential hopeful, as it reflects a seven-point increase since June for Haley.
Every other candidate fell to less than three percent support.
The survey was taken October 17-20 among 1,000 registered voters and has a +/- 3.1 percent margin of error.
The negative news for DeSantis comes as he continues his full county blitz of Iowa in hopes of improving his standing in the early state, which votes on January 15. According to reports, DeSantis visited his 83rd county in the state over the weekend, leaving 16 to go:

DeSantis is doing a great job. The more he campaigns, the further he goes down.
It’s like watching a Meatball roll downhill.
Ronnieboi and Nimrata. Loser1 and Loser2.
The mire the never-Trumpwrs push back on us, the harder we push back.
We’re not going away and we’re not going to stop.
They gave us Biden.
Nikki may have decided she doesn’t want to get ahead of Ron. Yesterday she said she wants to bring in the Palis. Not exactly the way grow your support with the Republican base.
Lastly, Biteme is literally killing the country and wrong on everything, especially the economy. Remember this slogan? "It's the Economy, Stupid". It helped Clinton get in the WH, plus he was so (pretend) cool playing the sax and talking about his underpants. The only thing Biteme has going is that he is "luke warm" with his grand-daddy persona, and that decreases every day with his doddering old foolish gaffes and weird walkaways from the stage.
“DeSantis is doing a great job. The more he campaigns, the further he goes down.”
He’s like Hillary. Their best poll result was on the day they announced.
Adam Schiff is watching. He has the evidence of the Russian agent Trump. Love it if we elected Trump and had a Russian Spy in the Whitehouse. Adam better go get his blood pressure medicine bumped up.
“It’s obvious that Trump will be the nominee.”
If they let him live. I worry all the time.
All of it is meaningless if nothing is done about election integrity. The DemoMarxistNazis fixed 2020, 2022 and what makes people think 2024 will be legit?
Republicans should be SCREAMING about it, storming the courts to protect it, but NOOO, these guys can’t even get their sh*t together to pick a speaker. Meanwhile we are a year and a week away to this country ending if it’s not taken care of!
Try to imagine this scenario, just sit back close your eyes, and imagine this:
You are watching the returns late at night Nov.5th 2024 and the media announces “Biden easily wins a second term” even though you can see the amounts of votes are utter BS and you wake up the next morning to the headlines “BIDEN REELECTED! DEMOCRATS KEEP SENATE TAKE HOUSE”
What the hell are you gonna do but pray to God it was a year before and you did something?
Well it IS a year before, so do something! Call your Congressman relentlessly like I do!! Email them, swamp their Twitter accounts, social media!! DEMAND ELECTION INTEGRITY!!
Take if from someone who likes flying blind, do consider a judicious use of sarcasm tags. There are a lot folks around here who sucker themselves getting worked up over posts like yours.
Keep in mind, that even at his best 42% of Republicans are interested in someone else besides Trump this time. Not necessarily DeSantis, but NOT Trump. Sure the Trump supporters are the loudest, but they are not a huge majority overall. He's probably at his peak, as well.
So Hannah gets paid again this week to dust of last week’s article as she’s been doing all year. Sweet Gig.
BECAUSE OF Despite months of LAWFARE ATTACKS legal woes and his decision to skip the first two Republican primary debates, Trump has only continued to strengthen his position as the leader of the GOP primary race.
