President Donald Trump is eating up a field of possible and current political rivals for the 2024 Republican Party presidential nomination. Recent data from TIPP, for example, demonstrated 55 percent of support for Trump from registered Republicans and Republican-leaning Independent voters.
Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., netted 17 percent, illustrating a 6-point loss for the governor since April in their poll, while Trump gained 8 points.
Former Vice President Mike Pence accrued 6 percent of support, and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley snagged 4 percent. Businessman Vivek Ramaswamy scored 4 percent of support, and radio show host Larry Elder snagged just 1 percent.
RSBN recently reported on the impressive leads that Trump is holding in states like Iowa and Kentucky. For example, Trump is leading by a staggering 56 points in Kentucky, scoring a whopping 70 percent of support among Republican primary voters.
In a National Research poll that looked at the 2024 Iowa Republican Caucus, Trump scored 44 percent of support and DeSantis won 26 percent.
The 45th president is additionally leading strongly in Texas, where a CWS Research poll found that he held a 38-point lead over DeSantis in the Lone Star State.
Interestingly, Trump also beat Gov. DeSantis in the Florida leader’s home state, where a Florida Atlantic University poll found that in a head-to-head matchup Trump pulled an impressive 59 percent of support from GOP primary voters against DeSantis’s 31 percent.
From FAU:
“According to the poll, Trump would win over DeSantis by a significant margin if the primary were held when the poll was completed between April 13-14. When the same group of voters was asked about their choice for the upcoming Republican presidential primary, approximately 6 out of 10 (59 percent) chose Trump, while about 3 out of 10 (31 percent) chose DeSantis.”
You all framed the guy and ran a con on us for years
Then, you staged the overthrow of the US and have dissolved our borders and system of justice
You deserve to fry
You hate us and the US…and want us dead

But but but DeSantis hasn’t even declared yet. When that happens it’ll all change. You watch.
Do I need to out the sarcasm thing at the end?
Sorry, I don’t see this. He is at best shoring up support amongst past supporters. I seriously doubt he’s added any new supporters, especially with his boorish antics, poor hiring and poor life choices. I have not read anywhere that people are bailing on Biden to instead support Trump. Ain’t happening.
I keep saying the same, unfair to compare now except out of insecurity. Presuming DeSantis announces, let’s look at 2+ weeks or really 30 days. Like Kennedy catching up with Biden, I suspect DeSantis will quickly match or even lead Trump. Right now all we see are insecure Trump supporters and Trump trying to trash a fellow Republican, poisoning the party. Biden could win BECAUSE of Trump. That would be really sad.
“The men have found their captain!”
People are tired of living in the Democrat Gulag for the last 3 years, I would expect that his popularity will continue to increase because none of this is getting better anytime soon.
And his loyal soldiers on FR will enthusiastically urge him on.
In so doing, they'll run off the very people who kept FR with their donations over the years.
Trump will never be POTUS again. I said it in 2019-20, and I see no reason to believe the elections in 2024 will be fair enough for him to win. They’ll kill him before they let him step back into the White House.
I will vote for no one else this time around for President.
Our institutions of government, media, and businesses, are Anhauser Bush. The masses have had enough.
Funny how we “conspiracy theorists” turned out to be right all along.
He was popular in 2020, too.
As I read the article, it's about Trump beating DeSantis in the polls - nothing else.
Regarding Biden, if you believe 81 million Americans voted for him in 2020 and that he won that election without election fraud - then I have a bridge in Brooklyn that I'd like to sell you.
Until the republicans can mitigate democrat election fraud, they will continue losing elections they otherwise should win. 2024 will be difficult for Trump to win. Not because he's unable to win the popular and electoral vote but because democrats, through fraudulent ballot harvesting, machines, unverified signatures, ballot stuffing, crooked precinct captains, crooked state SOS ...... will again produce 81+ million votes and all electoral votes needed for a ham sandwich.
Wait till people realize Trump came out as pro abortion today.
The primary calender favors DeSantis. Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and then Nevada. I would pick DeSantis to win all the early states except for South Carolina.
Trump has all the right enemies, and they are the same enemies that the American people have.
“Right now all we see are insecure Trump supporters and Trump trying to trash a fellow Republican, poisoning the party.”
Trump supporters are poisoning the party? Perhaps you don’t read the news, the Republicans have been helepong the Democrats destroy Trump, his supporters and this country. I’ll loan you a dollar to buy a clue.
“I have not read anywhere that people are bailing on Biden to instead support Trump. Ain’t happening.”
I’m a doc and most of my patients are black.
Daily I hear hard core conservative values from Black male millennials.
Not sure how they are voting but hard pressed it’s for the rats.
People with brains know they are being used.
