Trump Support Drops 20 Points as Ron DeSantis Surges to Tie in New 2024 Poll https://www.newsweek.com/trump-support-drops-20-points-ron-desantis-surges-tie-new-2024-poll-1634082 Republican support for former President Donald Trump has quickly declined, leaving him in a virtual tie with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, according to a new poll of 2024 GOP presidential candidates. The poll was released Wednesday and conducted by GOP pollster Carter Wrenn on behalf of the super PAC of Trump's former national security adviser John Bolton. It found that while Trump still had the support of 26.2 percent of Republican voters, DeSantis was close behind at 25.2 percent. Support for Trump plummeted since a survey in July when he was the top choice for 46 percent of Republicans. Meanwhile, support for DeSantis nearly doubled from 13 percent in July. "These numbers will probably come as a shock to Donald Trump," Bolton said in a statement. "After 20 years in Afghanistan, it's clear that Americans are unhappy with leaving as we did. Voters were smart enough to see that President Trump started the withdrawal and legitimized the Taliban through negotiations. They recognize that withdrawal carries more risks for the homeland than keeping a U.S. and NATO military presence in Afghanistan." "Biden bears the responsibly for the final embarrassing moments and his corresponding drop in support reflects that, but it's not lost on anyone that Trump, like Biden, wanted to withdraw and shares the blame for the failure," Bolton added. "National security matters to voters, especially when failure leads to greater risks, so you rightly see conservatives quickly considering options other than Donald Trump." The poll also found that support for President Joe Biden dropped 10 percent overall since July, while Biden's support among independents nosedived by 30 percent. A slight majority of respondents said that "major mistakes" were made by both Biden and Trump regarding the Afghanistan withdrawal, while 55 percent agreed that "it was a mistake for Trump to negotiate with the Taliban." Nearly 20 percent of respondents were undecided when asked to choose between a field of 10 potential 2024 GOP presidential nominees including Trump and DeSantis. All of the other potential candidates polled in the single digits, with former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley faring best at 7.2 percent and 6 percent, respectively. A 57 percent majority said that "to move forward we need new leaders and fresh faces." The poll was conducted nationally among 1,000 likely voters between September 16 and September 18. It has a margin of error of 3.1 percent.
The winner of the presidential election of 2024 will be Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis provided that election laws are followed and fraud is as close to zero as possible. It will be an easy win for either one of them, or both.
California just institutionalized election fraud and other leftist states will follow. The system looks broken to me and I would just assume have a competent Governor for a second term. Not sure I care what happens to the rest of the country. There was a time when people's first allegiance was to their State and I can see the needle swinging that direction again. The federal government is just some annoying clown show that I don't pay for, much, anyway.
Its the results of that Arizona fake audit coming to reckon with Trump. People actually believed Trump about fraud etc and that ridiculous fraud of an audit couldn’t even support Trump's claims. It impacted more of his support than people realize.
Probably the most overlooked reality in America is that your Governor has a bigger impact on your life than the president.
You can just tell crossing over from one state to the next the quality of life change can be very dramatic. Early in my work life I did a lot of traveling in the eastern United States. The difference between southern states and northern states is very stark.
Defintiely.... I been saying this for a while that the fucktard sitting in the white is so much a figurehead yet people worship them and never say a peep about local elected officials affecting their property taxes, local schools, transportation etc...
Bookie warns Ron DeSantis 2024 support ‘starting to dry up’ https://floridapolitics.com/archives/461807-dry-up-desantis/ Donald Trump is almost the 'odds-on favorite' among Republicans. Gov. Ron DeSantis keeps saying he doesn’t want to be President. Bettors are starting to believe him. DeSantis continues to struggle in the shadow of Donald Trump relative to 2024 considerations, with more bad news on that front Friday. BoyleSports, one of the oddsmakers willing to establish probabilities for future Presidential markets, warns that DeSantis’ support is “starting to dry up.” Meanwhile, bettors have MAGA on their minds. According to Boyle, Trump has achieved parity with President Joe Biden in terms of overall odds. “It’s all one-way traffic in the betting for 2024 and it’s Donald Trump who has the momentum after a string of media appearances. We’ve been forced to make him a joint favorite already at 7/2 from 5/1 and he’s not far from going on odds-on to be the Republican candidate contesting the election,” said a BoyleSports spokesperson. DeSantis, meanwhile, looks more like the leader of the second tier. “The Florida Governor has been eased to 9/2 from 7/2 to be the Republican candidate in 2024, but is still rated more likely than both Nikki Haley (8/1) and Mike Pence (10/1),” BoyleSports noted. At least one recent national poll of registered voters suggests Pence is getting a more serious look from potential 2024 voters than was the case a few months ago. In a field without Trump, Pence was the choice of 32% of registered voters surveyed, a dozen points ahead of DeSantis in that survey. It hasn’t all been losses for DeSantis, the man supporters call “America’s Governor.” Another oddsmaker hailed the end of the “downward trend” in DeSantis’ odds for reelection late last month. “DeSantis’ reelection chances were on a downward trend through the summer, with his odds shifting from 1/5 in June to 1/3 in August,” says a US-Bookies spokesperson. “During that time, Rep. Charlie Crist and (Agriculture Commissioner) Nikki Fried were improving in the odds markets, indicating that it was becoming a closer race.” For his part, DeSantis continues to say he is running for reelection and that Presidential speculation is “nonsense.” “All the speculation about me is purely manufactured,” he said in early September. “There’s a lot of huge issues. It’s way down the road. It’s not anything that I’m planning for,” DeSantis said during the second half-hour of Sean Hannity‘s show earlier this week.
