Two recent polls show Ron DeSantis with ground to make up in Iowa, and he’s heading there to make his case.
The Governor and First Lady Casey DeSantis will appear at “Feenstra Family Picnic” held by U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra in Sioux Center next month.
“In Iowa, like Florida, freedom is valued, parents’ rights are protected, and faith comes first,” DeSantis told Fox News Digital, which got the story first. “Congressman Feenstra is a strong conservative with a record of delivering results, and I’m happy to support him.”
The Hawkeye State visit will allow DeSantis to get some face time with future caucus participants who say they prefer Donald Trump in two surveys this month.
In a survey conducted by Cygnal for Iowans for Tax Relief, the former President leads DeSantis, 37% to 30%. An additional 19% of respondents are undecided, with other candidates struggling for support.
The poll was in the field April 3-4, bucking a trend of strong polls for the former President in the wake of his 34-count indictment and arrest in Manhattan. It is a better poll for DeSantis than the other post-indictment poll of the Iowa race, a J.L. Partners survey in which the former President commands 41% support, 15 points ahead of the Florida Governor.
Both Trump and DeSantis have been to Iowa in recent weeks and, in the case of the former President, the Governor was a topic of his remarks. Trump hammered DeSantis on his previous positions on entitlements for senior citizens and ethanol mandates, the latter an issue of particular importance in the state.
DeSantis stuck to a familiar script during his stop in the Hawkeye State, which was functionally a promotional visit for his recently released book on March 10. At that point, polling from the Des Moines Register showed the Governor essentially in a dead heat with Trump.

The country has seen that DeSantis is a little Napoleon.
He won’t be President. He’ll move to WOKE California after all this, like the pathetic little grifter he is and write more books with little words in oversized text so that his crayon eating fanboys can understand them.

Really? The guy went to Yale and then Harvard Law and then became a USN officer. Let’s see your sorry ass resume.

And yet he pretends he can’t spell big words because he is in thrall to petty populism and Fox News. All that fancy schoolin and he still takes his cues from his TV wife and Tucker Carlson. He’s a phony – and too short to ever include POTUS on his resume.

Says the guy that votes for “The Hologram”, Fetterman, Feinstein, the squad, etc. Real brain power there.

Just an observation but based on how easy it was for the house of mouse to make a fool of him, I’m guessing he wasn’t much of a lawyer despite where he went to school.

How so? The biggest fool in the US right now is that Hologram that is currently visiting Ireland. I wonder if he knows where he is?

America has learned that Yale and Harvard credentials have nothing to do with common sense leadership.

Little Ron may be a good student but he has no moral compass.
