Ramaswamy Leaps Ahead of Shrinking DeSantis in National Republican Poll
The Last Refuge ^ | July 20, 2023 | Sundance

Many people said it was likely to happen and indeed it has. Vivek Ramaswamy has now overtaken Ron DeSantis to become the top loser to Donald Trump in the GOP primary race. According to a Kaplan Strategies poll [LINK HERE] Ron DeSantis has now dropped to third place in the presidential preference polling.

KAPLAN – “Vivek Ramaswamy, biotech investor, has made significant strides in his political journey, tying with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in the latest national GOP poll. Both candidates claimed the support of 12 percent of likely GOP voters, coming second to President Donald Trump, who maintains a dominant 48 percent lead.

Doug Kaplan, founder of Kaplan Strategies, the firm that conducted the poll, highlights the rising popularity of Ramaswamy in the face of nine competitors. “Ramaswamy outperformed six other hopefuls by more than double, marking a significant surprise in this poll,” Kaplan comments.

While DeSantis remains a top-tier candidate amongst non-Trump choices, he now shares this status with Ramaswamy. The reactions of these camps in the face of this new dynamic are anticipated with interest.

Despite DeSantisfavorable rating of 59 percent amongst GOP voters, Kaplan suggests that Ramaswamy may have the potential for a higher ceiling, as he is less well-known amongst Republican voters, with a 27 percent Uncertain rate.

Meanwhile, the poll underscores the unwavering support President Trump holds within the GOP, despite the crowded field challenging him. Trump boasts a combined 69 percent favorability rating, leaving little room for uncertainty.” (MORE)

That is a big assumption that he will get to 335.

How will he do that?

So what will Trump do to change that?

What power does he have to change the result?

Who is left to pull into his camp so that is margin is beyond the steal?

**************
The only thing you DeSantis supporters should be worried about is:

Why is my young hero doing so poorly against other Republican candidates?

Where did that Hollywood Squares image come from?

Who are they trying to kid? Christie at 5%, Pence at 4%? What?

I don't believe some of the "candidates" on that grid have even declared.

Your ridiculous questions mark you as disingenuous. Are you a 12 year old trying to bait Freepers?

Over a year to the election and you try and find people foolish enough to make state by state projections.
If you want to get information you can follow Rich Baris “The People’s Pundit” (@Peoples_Pundit) · Twitter
When there is enough data to make any projections he will post his.

How are my questions less relevant that publishing results of polls when the primaries are still six months away?

Why are you and the other Trump Supporters so intent on striking DeSantis or anyone else in the running?

I think a thorough review of the issues are warranted, and I think we have to consider electability. Trump is a little lacking on this last one.

“dragged into it”

He couldn’t be dragged into anything, if he is at all a leader, honest, trustworthy or any other good quality of a governor or person of authority and leadership.

glad Ron made it obvious for all to see he is not worthy of even the office he (occasionally) still occupies..

over 70 million votes a few years ago, without need for stopping counting and sudden bump in totals like Biden got, and you wonder about his electability?

Hoping most of those 70+ million are still alive (didn’t fall prey to kill shots or otherwise die) and able to get to polls. More who voted dem have had their eyes opened.

fraud is all the dems have. That’s how they installed potato head.

If God is willing, He will make it happen, again, like He did before and many times in the past. David and Goliath. Have faith and get out in the field with a few stones and sling shot.

or cower like the rest of the army and be afraid on the sidelines.

You can whine as much as you want. It won’t change anything.

How does Trump get to 335?

Until you can answer that question, it may be helpful not to keep posting pointless articles.

He took money from the globalist billionaire set - now they are pulling the strings.

They don’t care one bit about deSantis or any other Republican becoming POTUS. They are funding him in order to fracture the Republican Party.

I liked DeSantis too… as veep. Instead, he listened to his advisors. He shoulda backed Trump and waited for his turn at bat in 2024.

Those two are not an option. Aside from Tump, Vivek is the the only one expressing his policies on how to save America.

Well, let's not be too hasty here.   Let's first see if Ron DeSinkingfast can regain his traction, and come bouncing back, when he unveils his new campaign theme song (song link).

I used to like DeSantis but he has been truly awful these past few months.

What happened?
