DeSantis Tumbles To Fifth Place In Critical Early Primary State New Hampshire

[cigaretteman]

While former President Donald Trump still holds a sizable lead in a recent CNN/University of New Hampshire poll of voters in the critical early primary state, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis dropped to fifth place—despite being widely recognized as Trump’s biggest contender for months.

In the poll of more than 2,100 likely Republican voters that ran from Thursday to Monday, DeSantis only received 10% support, while Trump maintained his lead, earning 39% of the vote.



DeSantis was among four contenders in a packed field far behind Trump’s lead: businessman Vivek Ramaswamy polled at 13%, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley polled at 12% and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie polled at 11%, followed by DeSantis.

DeSantis fell significantly from CNN’s July poll, in which he was the clear second choice to Trump with 23% support.



DeSantis received the most support from people who identified as listeners of Conservative radio (17%), users of X—formerly known as Twitter—(15%), voters along the seacoast (16%), and voters who identified as libertarian (15%).

Despite his poor polling in New Hampshire, FiveThirtyEight still has DeSantis in second place behind Trump in an average of national polls with 14.2% support, while Trump holds a commanding lead at 55.3%; Ramaswamy is the next closest with 7%.

When do DeSantis sugar daddies pull all the cash and throw in with Trump?

You just know donors are ready to switch.

The only question is to Nimirata or Trump Lite?

I am baffled that any attention is given to any of this. Trump will be the nominee, and there is zero question about it.

He might die before the Republican convention. He might be facing prison time. He might be off the ballot in a few key states. So, yeah, he'll be the nominee. Prison time doesn't bother the GOP. Most authoritarian leaders have a stint as a "political prisoner", on their resume. The ballot issues will be gummed up in the courts. It's only the icy hand of death standing in between Trump and the nomination.

Honestly, if he died I fully expect a majority of the GOP would point out the absence anywhere in the constitution of a requirement that a Presidential nominee be living. The party is that far gone.

Isn’t he a crook, too?
