Former President Donald Trump has opened up a commanding primary lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the 2024 GOP presidential primary in the Sunshine State, a poll released Tuesday shows.

Trump, now at 60 percent support, enjoys clear majority backing in the state that just a year ago reelected DeSantis in a landslide win. DeSantis, down at just 21 percent, trails the former president by 39 points. Every other candidate is in single digits, with former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley at six percent, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at two percent, and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy at one percent.

The poll, conducted by the Public Opinion Research Lab (PORL) at the University of North Florida (UNF) in Jacksonville, surveyed 788 registered GOP voters from Oct. 23 through Nov. 4. The margin of error is 3.77 percent.

“Despite historically high approval in the polls, Governor DeSantis losing steam in his home state doesn’t bode well for his national campaign,” Dr. Michael Binder, PORL faculty director and professor of political science at UNF, said. “Even if you wipe out the rest of the competition in a head-to-head, Trump leads DeSantis by 20 points.”

Yes, but It’s not the DNC that hurts us, that’s a given you can count on.

It’s the backstabbing FAKE news. They are supposed to be neutral and present facts to Americans. Instead they have ran a never ending campaign against Trump since the day he won.

Any fool that doesn’t believe that statement only has to do a google video search and compare how Trump was treated by the press in his tenure and compare to the subservient, friendly even fawning way the great Sleepy since he became POTUS.

It would have been nice to tell the folks in Florida that he was running (6 months after being re-elected for gov.). I have not spoken to any of my conservative friends or neighbors that are not totally pizzed at him.

Trumps Primary Landslide in FLA will dwarf Meatball’s “Reelection” as FLA
GOV.

[tennmountainman]

Why should Trump debate the Dwarves?
You should be happy that Meatball has a chance to show his stuff.
Even though he did not show much stuff in the last 2 debates.

[Daggerboard]

Correct, at his age he’s only going to get worse. What a mess he has created.

Maybe the next debate will make a difference……/sarc 😏

The polls make sense. President Trump has boatloads of supporters in Florida. (pic)
