New Poll Reveals Trouble for DeSantis – Watch
A new poll released after Ron DeSantis’ announcement that he is running for president has revealed some big concerns for the Florida governor. The poll, which was conducted by the Trafalgar Group, found that DeSantis is trailing former President Donald Trump by a significant margin among Republican voters.
DeSantis is still 34 points behind Trump, with Trump at 56 percent and DeSantis at 22 percent. And before the DeSantis announcement, on May 24, it was 57 for Trump and 21 for DeSantis, according to the Morning Consult numbers. So if they thought that they were going get a bump off the announcement, DeSantis didn’t get that. The numbers are essentially the same.
The Harvard Harris poll showed Trump beating Biden by seven points, and DeSantis’ numbers were only even against Biden or Harris. The Morning Consult poll has Trump even with Biden and DeSantis down by three points.
The poll also found that DeSantis is struggling to connect with voters outside of Florida. Only 37% of voters nationwide said they had a favorable view of DeSantis, while 53% said they had an unfavorable view.
The poll’s findings are a major setback for DeSantis, who had been seen as a potential frontrunner for the Republican nomination. The poll’s results suggest that DeSantis will have a difficult time winning over voters outside of Florida, and that he will need to do a lot of work to close the gap with Trump.
The poll’s findings suggest that DeSantis will have a difficult time winning the Republican nomination. He will need to do a lot of work to close the gap with Trump, and he will need to convince voters outside of Florida that he is the best person to lead the country.
DeSantis is a talented politician, and he is not to be underestimated. However, the poll’s findings suggest that he will have a difficult time winning the Republican nomination. Trump is the clear frontrunner, and DeSantis will need to do a lot of work to catch up.
