Most, 53 percent, of Republicans and Republican-leaners support Trump in the crowded field of GOP candidates. Florida Gov Ron DeSantis continues to struggle to gain any ground, coming in a distant second, 38 points behind Trump with 15 percent support.
No other candidate listed came close, as anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy came in 11 points behind DeSantis with four percent support. South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and former Vice President Mike Pence followed with three percent support each, and remaining candidates saw two percent support or less.
Notably, Trump’s lead among GOP-leaners who are registered voters ticks up to 55 percent, while DeSantis comes in with 16 percent support.
The survey also asked respondents, “If the Republican presidential primary in your state were held today and [favored candidate] was not on the ballot, who would you vote for?”
Given that most support Trump, DeSantis emerges as the top second choice candidate with 23 percent, followed by 17 percent who said Ramaswamy and 11 percent who said Trump. But according to the survey’s summary, DeSantis’s 23 percent is actually down 12 points from the 35 percent he saw one month ago.

The emailed summary of the survey also observed that “many Republicans who prefer Trump list no second choice: One-third (32%) either say they are not sure about a second choice (19%) or say they would not vote (14%).”
Further, Trump supporters appear to be souring on DeSantis. In July, 49 percent listed him as their second choice, compared to 32 percent who do so now.

He’s already in single digits in some polls if I recall correctly.
Ron DeSantis, the perpetual teenager.
At this point, the deep state will take anybody but Trump.
If these CRIMINAL DEMOCRATS (but I repeat myself) are not taken down, America is OVER!

Might I be so bold as to suggest sharing it with fellow Trump folks?
Never Underestimate the MAGA Movement that is with President Trump All the Way! :)
No, you’re not the only one. I agree with you. But it’s going to be a very bumpy ride.
