DONALD TRUMP LEADS DESANTIS IN FLORIDA: POLL
According to a recent Emerson College poll, Donald Trump has overtaken Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) in terms of favor in the Sunshine State.
In a fictitious GOP presidential primary election in 2024, according to their poll, Trump is ahead of DeSantis with 47 percent of the support from Florida GOP voters to the governor’s 44 percent.
Given that DeSantis won Florida’s reelection in November 2022 with a stunning 20-point victory over his opponent, former Republican turned Democrat Charlie Crist, the outpouring of support from Floridians is a surprise development.
GOP respondents said they would back former Vice President Mike Pence 4% of the vote in that same poll. Pence hasn’t formally declared if he’ll run for president in 2024, though.

Since November 2022, President Trump has experienced remarkable growth in the polls. According to RSBN, the 45th president just received a significant amount of support from GOP voters, garnering 54 percent of them in the Morning Consult’s 2024 GOP Primary Tracker. DeSantis received 26% of the vote in that poll.

DeSantis hasn’t formally declared his intention to run for president in 2024, but he recently told Piers Morgan that he thought he could defeat Joseph Biden in a fictitious contest, signaling that he appears to have his sights set on the White House.
