Trump has triple DeSantis' support in the Iowa State survey. Iowa’s Governor may have endorsed Ron DeSantis for President, but that hasn’t yet improved his fortunes ahead of the Hawkeye State caucuses Jan. 15.
That’s the major takeaway from the most recent Iowa State University/Civiqs poll of Republican voters in the state, which shows former President Donald Trump tripling the Florida Governor’s support.
“The basic order of the candidates stayed the same, and it’s actually a little surprising because it’s been an eventful month in the campaign,” said the poll’s organizer, Lucken Professor of Political Science Dave Peterson.
“We’ve seen several high-profile candidates, former Vice President Mike Pence and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott drop out. The other big news was Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds’ endorsement of Ron DeSantis.”
That big news appears to have had little impact, however.
Trump is the choice of 54% of respondents, with DeSantis firmly in second place with 18% support.
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is in third place, with 12% backing, while 6% support Vivek Ramaswamy.
Reynolds has not been able to transfer her popularity with Iowa Republicans to the DeSantis effort. On the contrary, data suggests it’s a net negative. The Reynolds endorsement doesn’t matter at all to 63% of respondents, while 22% say it’s less likely to make them support DeSantis and 13% say the endorsements helps DeSantis.

Imagine visiting almost every county in Iowa, securing the Governor's endorsement, moving most of your staff to the state, burning through millions and millions of dollars, and only gaining one point in two months. https://t.co/0oEiiADvCV— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) November 16, 2023
Bye bye DeSantis.....see ya! :)
TRUMP 2024!
I think Trump is up by 40 in Florida. Sometimes those governors’ endorsements mean little when the country and world are both imploding.
Be serious.
The "campaign" is an expensive sham, trying to breathe life into the corpse of the US political system. The idea that it has been an "eventful month" is pathetic.
60% of the voters are outside of the Uniparty box. The country is ripe for revolution.
Paying attention to "Republicans" and "Democrats" and pretending they are not simply marionettes dancing on the strings of the "donor community" must be very confusing for people who still follow the clown show.
Oh yeah, Kim Reynolds. Otherwise known in the CC household as “who?”
CC
*chortle*
I was just thinking that DeSantis is running a “limp campaign”.
If oyu really believe that the very popular governor endorsed him and he didn’t get a bump, then you’ll believe anything. This shows how unreliable the polls are.
You know, DeNial isn’t just a river in Egypt!
You know these numbers make no sense.
I don’t see why it would help. The only people who really know her is from her own state.
Simple. The people love Trump and remember his first four years
You’re funny
It could mean that people are solid for Trump … no matter what
Sure they do
This is an Iowa poll.
The polls are fake.
DeSantis won Miami-Dade by 10 points. Trump lost it by 7.
We're supposed to believe this horsesh*t?
I've posted this MULTIPLE times already....
The huge crowd that went to see desanctimonious and reynolds in davenport, after she endorsed him....
And I would post photos of other very underwhelmingly attended events...
But even news media seems to think they are not important enough to be covering them anymore...

Or you could post the pics of Trump speaking at half-packed high school gymnasiums to the same crowd of people who follow him from town to town like Grateful Dead fans.
