DeSantis 2024 Presidential Campaign Launch Fails To Deliver Bump In Support

US

A new poll from Yahoo News/You Gov has found that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has seen no discernible bump in support since his 2024 presidential campaign launch last week.

  • YouGov: “In fact, the survey of 1,520 U.S. adults, which was conducted from May 25-30, suggests that DeSantis may have actually lost ground against frontrunner and former President Donald Trump since officially entering the race…”
  • “Among potential Republican primary voters — registered voters who identify as Republicans or GOP-leaning independents — Trump now leads the full field of seven declared candidates with 53%. That’s up from 48% in early May, before DeSantis threw his hat in the ring. And DeSantis now lags further behind than he did just a few weeks ago; his 25% is down from 28% in early May.”
  • Early campaign is also becoming increasingly fractious with Politico reporting, "the rancor between DeSantis World and Team Trump is already shifting into overdrive — especially online, where supporters and campaign aides are taking increasingly hostile and personal shots at each other."
