DeSantis discusses trailing Trump in Republican primary race

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has responded to questions over recent polls showing him falling behind former President Donald Trump, stating he is not worried about his current place in the polls.

The polling from the last few weeks shows Trump far ahead of the Florida governor, with some data even showing the former president having twice the support of DeSantis. When asked if all this "doom and gloom" was impacting his presidential campaign, DeSantis responded with "not at all," adding that one could see "an effort to create these narratives" during an interview on Fox News's Media Buzz.

"I think the good thing about it is Republican primary voters are very smart," said DeSantis. "They know where these corporate outlets stand on the political spectrum, and so the extent that they become convinced that the media does not want me to be the nominee above all else, that will, in the long run, absolutely help me."

One advantage that DeSantis has is that Trump already thinks that he's won the nomination and that is working against him.  He's become more narcissistic than before and IMO starting to make excuses for his shortcomings.  Whereas DeSantis' record is clean and impressive.

The only poll that matters is how DeSantis is doing in Iowa. The fact that there has been no movement there should be most disconcerting. He needs to focus on Iowa, delegate the planning of a national campaign to others. He must plant his ass in Iowa, run a good old fashioned retail campaign, and win there. If he does not do that, he cannot win.
