Trump Tied with DeSantis in New Poll of GOP Voters

The latest Monmouth University poll shows that former President Donald Trump is tied with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as the leading choice for the Republican Party’s 2024 presidential nominee.

According to The Hill, the Monmouth University poll found a third of Republican voters saw Trump, who kicked off his campaign in November, as their top presidential pick, and another third favored DeSantis, who has yet to formally announce he’s running.

Former president Mike Pence scored just 2 percent support and Nikki Haley — who is set to become the only other big-name Republican officially in the ring with Trump — earned just 1 percent.

Trump closed the gap with DeSantis from a similar poll back in December that put the Florida governor ahead by 13 points, with 39 percent support compared to 26 percent for the former president. Trump has since climbed 7 points, and DeSantis has fallen 6 points.

But despite the uptick in voters backing Trump for the GOP nomination, DeSantis takes the win in a hypothetical primary matchup between the two, earning 53 percent to Trump’s 40 percent.

“Both Trump and DeSantis are well-liked by the party’s rank and file, but it’s likely that voter opinion of Trump is more firmly set than it is for DeSantis right now. The unknown factor is whether DeSantis can maintain this early edge if and when he gets on the campaign trail,” Monmouth University Polling Institute director Patrick Murray said in a report.

The Florida governor is said to be close to his final decision on whether he’ll run in 2024 and is widely expected to jump in the ring.

T TO T IS $13.00 A MONTH. YOU CAN’T FEED A DOG FOR THAT.

    THE REBEL FLAG BELONGS TO 11 CONFEDERATE STATES. IF YOU NEVER FOUGHT AGAINST IT OR UNDER IT. YOU HAVE NOT EARNED THE RIGHT TO TAKE IT DOWN.
    TODAY WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ONE NATION, ONE FLAG. I SAW A BLACK MAN WITH THE REBEL FLAG IN A REBEL UNIFORM DEFENDING A STATUE OF SILENT SAM. GOD BLESS HIM. ONE NATION UNDER GOD FOREVER. WANT TO SAVE AMERICAN LIVES. GET RID OF DRUGS AND ABORTION. ADOPTION IS THE BEST OPTION. EVERYONE LIVES. AMEN. THOSE WHO DIVIDE US WILL ENSLAVE US.

    I THOUGHT THE KOCH BROTHERS WERE GREAT. IT TURNS OUT THEY ARE SCHIFF HEADS. I WON’T BE DRINKING THEIR COLAS ANYMORE.

    BE CAREFUL COMMUNISTS, NFL COULD MEAN NO FANS LEFT. WHAT COCA COLA DID TO THE LITTLE BUSINESS PEOPLE OF ATLANTA WAS A DISGRACE. LIKE OUR 911 SLOGAN SAYS WE FORGET NUTTIN.

    SECOND CHINESE BALLOON FOUND IN THE CAPITAL DEMOCRAT HIS/HER BATHROOM. CORRECTION IT IS NOT A BALLOON. IT ONLY LOOKS LIKE THAT WHEN YOU BLOW IT UP. IT IS VERY SMALL.

    NOJOY BEFAR DENIED THE FIRST POSITION PULLING THE BUDWEISSER BEER WAGON AT THE SUPER BOWL.

    AOC DID HER MUSSOLINI IMPRESSION.

    ROMMNEY IS BRAVE AGAINST THE NEW KID.. HE SHOULD BORROW IRANIAN JOHN KERRY’S CHERRY BADGE. I’LL VOTE FOR THE SMALLER LIAR.

    ONE PRO AMERICAN DEFENDER SAID A NAVY LASER COULD HAVE BROUGHT THE BARROON DOWN SLOWLY INTACT.

    Experts defend diversity efforts after political attacks: ‘This is about leveling the playing field’
    Yahoo News WHEN YOU SEE A SOVIET STYLE HEADLINE THAT BEGINS WITH THE WORDS EXPERTS SAY. YOU KNOW IT IS COMMUNIST BULL SCHIFF. RUN LIKE THE WIND FROM ANTI AMERICAN PROPAGANDA. THIS TACTIC IS KNOWN AS SS. SUBTLE SABOTAGE.

    THE PARTY OF DEATH TO LITTLE CHILDREN PRETENDS TO BE ONE OF US BUT THEIR GOALS ARE VERY SINISTER. IN 1973 THE LAST COMMUNIST CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT WAS SOUNDLY DEFEATED. HE TOLD THE COMMUNIST PARTY TO INFILTRATE THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND TAKE IT OVER. VOILA!

    IN TWO YEARS CHINA WILL BE OBVIOUS AND IN OUR FACE. THE DRAFT WILL HAVE TO COME BACK BY EXECUTIVE ORDER OF THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF. ALL INDUCTEES WILL GET 24 HOURS NOTICE. NEVER HAPPENED? PARIS WWI FRENCH MEN WERE SENT TO THE FRONT IN TAXIS. WHEN THAT HAPPENS THERE IS ONLY ONE LEADER TO LEAD US. GOD SAVE TRUMP.

    THE BEST DEFENSE COMBO WILL BE THE THREE MUSK A TEERS. DON,RON AND ELON. KEEP THOSE THREE TOGETHER AND WE WILL HAVE A FIGHTING CHANCE. ONCE CHINA ATTACKS TAIWAN THAT WILL SIGNAL THE BEGINNING OF WWIII.

  2. I am and always have been a Trump Supporter. However, President Trump needs to REFRAIN from throwing garbage at DeSantis. This does not bode well for the majority of citizens.

  3. Be careful how to read articles that “add” to what TRUMP actually said. Yes some of his twitters come back to haunt him but most of them were made in fun.
    Just proves Democrats can’t laugh at themselves and that’s not healthy if you can’t laugh at yourself. Nobody is perfect including Trump. I notice anything Trump writes is “attacked”, twisted and taken out of context. Most things are written to pit- Trump & DeSantis against one another. Let’s face it they don’t want either of these guys to win so just try to divide them. Therefore dividing the R.party. I had no doubts about Trump in 2016 and now have more confidence in him for 2024.

  4. I agree. I wish they would get together Trump president Ron VP. Trump clean out the swamp and get world peace back. Then Ron can finish everything else up in the next 8 years!

  5. Stacy, I think you are spot on correct. It’s not Trump nor Desantos wrialing at one another, It’s the made up press creating this perception. And Snicker, I think you have have the right idea too. But, I think it is happening behind the curtain. The only thing to do is be sure the evil will no be allowed to steal another election. I don’t know how to make that happen. However, I do have 20/20 vision. And can see BS and lies when it is before me. And so does the majority of the US citizenship. I think the spin of conflict between these two incredible individuals, is just that. “Spin…. Fake news”. We can only wait and see, but I think that the will be drained in 2024-2025. Remember you biblcle text; Psalm 63…. ” them that tell lies shall be stopped”. And, as for twitter comments coming back to haunt Trump….Well, that is the nature of American leadership. The big dogs (Teddy Rosevelt, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, shall I go on…)aoll had a viewpoint that was not really decimated due to inefficient means. But with modern techniques of messaging, there are better means. But that comes with pitfalls of deciet. Think about it You All. We have to get ourselves out of this ditch. Respectfully.

  6. I agree wholeheartedly with Katie. I voted for Trump in his first run and plan to vote for him again. I, however, have similar strong feelings about Desantis and his ability to run this country. I just wish Trump would refrain from attacking Desantis. Desantis has similar qualities that I like in Trump…his refusal to be intimidated by these seriously evil, power hungry and dangerous people in office now (Soros’ minions); his love for his state and country and his intelligence.

    President Trump, we love you but please lay off of Desantis. Don’t allow the Demon-crats to divide you two. You’re on the same side.

  7. I say a Trump got 4 more years. And, De Santis for the next 8 years After Trump. That’s gives 12 years of prosperity instead of $500.00 LNG gas bill for small houses!

  8. No one can win in ’24 without the Trump voters. If Trump and DeSantis have a nasty fight, it will be to decide the next loser. (Yes, there are those dream of that.) Ron is younger than my youngest kid–he has many years ahead. Trump is going to need all the support possible to get a chance to continue what he started. But, he needs to stop with the cheap shots at DeSantis. He just hurts himself.

  9. Deep state working overtime to try and replace Trump with DeSantis, They are trying to stack the deck in the Democrats favor as Trump terrorizes the liberal Left. Most of these polls and advertisements for DeSantis are from the Deep State.

  10. I prefer Trump, but DeSantis will be great as well. Please note, Trump and DeSantis cannot run together (as President and VP) since they are from the same state, Florida.
