Scott Rasmussen’s RMG Research has found Florida Governor Ron DeSantis sinking to just eight points in their latest poll, with former President Donald J. Trump now up to 60 percent of the vote in the 2024 Republican primary. The national survey of 229 likely Republican primary voters places businessman Vivek Ramaswamy in second, with 13 percent support. The poll has a margin of error of 3.1%.
Even worse for the Florida Governor: a full 83 percent of Trump’s supporters said they were “absolutely certain” of voting for him, while just 38 percent of DeSantis’s supporters felt the same way about their choice.
RMG also indicates Republicans holding a five point Congressional Generic Ballot edge over the Democrats – adding that just last month Republicans only had a two point edge.
Polling aggregator FiveThirtyEight’s Republican Presidential Primary model shows as similar trend with Trump holding above 50 percent and DeSantis on a steady decline.
The news comes three weeks after DeSantis slumped into single digits in Ohio. Last week, National Pulse editor-in-chief predicted DeSantis would be a “single digit midget Ron within a couple of weeks”.
