Fewer than 1 in 10 Iowans believe the Florida Governor is the best bet to deal with the current threat.
Gov. Ron DeSantis has messaged heavily around the state response in the weeks since Hamas attacked Israeli citizens. But new polling from a key early state in the presidential race suggests that message may be hitting deaf ears.
The Des Moines Register/NBC News/Mediacom Iowa Poll conducted from Oct. 22 to Oct. 26 shows that just 9% of likely Hawkeye State caucus participants believe the Florida Governor is the best bet in the GOP field to address the situation in the Middle East.

“Poll: Iowa Republicans not sold on Ron DeSantis’ Hamas response”
this is simply an indication of how voters feel about the credibility of statements from standard politicians like desantis, particularly so-called conservative politicians ...
we all know by now that almost all politicians SAY stuff that they think we voters want to hear ... the problem is that we also know that most of them don’t really believe, or intend to act to implement, everything they say, and it’s nearly impossible to tell what they REALLY believe and what they REALLY would do if elected ...
during my lifetime, practically the only politician who has truly said what they mean and truly mean what they say is Donald J. Trump ...
Don’t worry. If you don’t like Ron’s opinion, just wait a while and he’ll probably change it.
“You Nevertrumpers fail again. You post about me and not the topic.”
Don’t lead off calling Freepers and it wouldn’t be about you.
