Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has plummeted to fourth place in South Carolina’s Republican primary race, a Washington Post-Monmouth University poll released Thursday found.

The survey examined the race in South Carolina, one of the early primary states, and found former President Donald Trump leading with 46 percent support. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley found herself in second place, 28 points behind, with 18 percent support.

South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott came in third place, garnering double-digit support with ten percent.

DeSantis, however, fell to fourth place in the early primary state with nine percent support, followed by former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie with five percent, anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy with three percent, former Vice President Mike Pence with three percent, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson with two percent, and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, who saw zero percent support.

The survey was taken September 6-11, 2023, among 506 potential South Carolina Republican primary voters. It has a ± 4.6 percent margin of error.

This trend — particularly of DeSantis sliding in South Carolina — has continued for months. A July Fox Business poll, for example, showed DeSantis falling to third in the state, behind both Trump and Haley. At the time, Scott sat just three points behind the Florida governor.

Has anyone found a way to donate to the Republican candidates without using WinRed?

Ramaswamy that low? Dubious WAPO poll

[Gene Eric]

Way way back, Club for Growth was good for that type of thing.

[JoSixChip]

Ouch! how low can he go?

[thegagline]

Because I gave thousands to Trump in 2016 and 2020 through WinRed, I am bombarded with daily phone calls, text messages, and emails. I will never again donate through WinRed.

Based on your posting history, the dnc would be the place for you.

You are a filthy liar.

[Reddy]

Unfortunately, RDS was unwise and followed poor advice given by the Booshes and Mittens (soon to be former senator).

He has RINO taint on him now. The best thing he could do is lay low, stay away form the Booshes/Mittens/Rinos, attach himself to the House Freedom Caucus, support PDJT 100%, and go from there.

[Codeflier]

And Christie that high? Nuts!

[thegagline]

You are a filthy liar.

I did. And it would be wise for you not to call someone a filthy liar. Those incendiary words could have detrimental consequences.

I stand behind them, that's exactly what your are. What's so funny to me is how obvious it is vs how you think you can come on here and lie with impunity.

A strong 4th place is good.

[JonPreston]

Ok, he can remove the word filthy, or liar, but definitely not both. You’re choice.

[thegagline]

How is Fort Collins this time of year?

[unclebankster]

Remember, DeSantis isn’t into being a #2.

Can you believe the ego on this kid?

[JoSixChip]

I wouldn’t know, I moved to The Villages FL a couple of years ago. If you want to threaten me, better to come right out and say it. I just laugh at that nuanced stuff.

[wiseprince]

Waste of time. Stay in Iowa and if you lose drop out because it’s your best state

[thegagline]

I don’t make threats. Good try attempting to play the victim card.

LOL. You so funny.
