Harvard-Harris Poll: DeSantis Support Continues to Collapse as Trump Dominates
Breitbart ^ | 19 May 2023 | HANNAH BLEAU

Posted on 05/19/2023 8:11:54 PM PDT by Kazan

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) support in the 2024 Republican primary continues to slip as former President Donald Trump dominates, May’s Harvard-Harris survey found.

The survey, coming on the rumored brink of the launch of DeSantis’s presidential campaign, shows Trump’s backing continuing to grow, with a majority of Republican voters, 58 percent, supporting him.

DeSantis comes in an extremely distant second, 42 points behind with 16 percent. That reflects a four-point drop from the 20 percent he garnered in the last survey.

Trump’s 58 percent, meanwhile, reflects a three-point boost for the former president.

No other challenger — or potential challenger — comes close, either. Anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, former Vice President Mike Pence, and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley come 12 points behind DeSantis with four percent support each. Sen. Ted Cruz falls behind with three percent support, and all remaining potential challengers received one percent support or less.

Trump also handily defeats DeSantis in a head-to-head matchup, leading 65 percent to the governor’s 35 percent.

I think he should do what he said he would do and work on making Florida better. There’s more than enough there that needs attention.

I’d vote for Trump but wouldn’t be unhappy if De Santis won.

The survey was taken May 17-18 among 2,004 register voters and comes as more rumblings of potential challengers for Trump begin to surface. Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) is expected to announce his presidential bid next week. New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu has also teased the prospect of a presidential bid, and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will reportedly announce a presidential bid in the coming days.

Just wait until DeSantis makes it official and announces he’s running for president.

His poll numbers will jump straight to the top and will lead Trump by at least 10 points. DeSantis 60, Trump 50, and everybody else will share the remaining 40%. ;)

Exactly. 👍😁👍

When DeSanctimonious (Mr. God Created a fighter on the 8th Day) finally announces, a kazillion Trump supporters are going to switch to DeSanctimonious.

Or at least that is what the DeSantis Online Influencer Trolls infesting FreeRepublic would have us believe.

16% is a healthy percentage for a non candidate.

Nikki Haley and Vivek will get a big boost when they debate. I think Vivek will play much better than 8th day Desanctimonius. I really want to see Vivek take over 2nd. Career politicians are awful

Trump can't win the general and DeSantis can't win the nomination.

DeSantis looks worse and worse every day as the establishments choice and he's not even announced yet.

Because of demographics and uncontested massive election fraud, no Republican of any stripe is likely to ever win the general....ever.

Exactly.
The Mass Mail Out Ballots to EVERY REGISTERED VOTER in swing States
was a breeding ground for massive fraud.
No copy of an ID was required when “voter” mailed in ballot
or dropped off by the dozens in drop boxes.
I have to show MY ID for early voting or on Election Day.
Mass mail out ballots….no ID required.

The more I’ve seen of DeSantis, the more I think governor is the level he’s suited for.
