Poll: Trump Holds 20 Point Lead over DeSantis in Florida
Hannah Bleau 10 Jul 2023
Former President Donald Trump holds a 20-point lead over Gov. Ron DeSantis in Florida, polling from the Florida Atlantic University Mainstreet PolCom Lab found.
The survey found Florida Republicans maintaining a commitment to the former president, even on DeSantis’s home turf.
Half of GOP primary voters in the Sunshine State, 50 percent, support Trump in the crowded Republican primary field. DeSantis comes in a distant second, garnering 30 percent support in the Florida primary.
No other candidate comes remotely close. Anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, for instance, comes in third place, 26 points behind DeSantis with four percent support. Sen. Tim Scott garnered just three percent support, followed by former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, and former Vice President Mike Pence, all of whom garnered two percent support each.
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley saw just one percent support.
The survey also found that one in five Republicans view supporting a candidate other than Trump as “disloyal” — a key critique of Trump when it comes to DeSantis.
