Gov. Ron DeSantis‘ 2024 case is predicated on being able to beat Joe Biden, but one new poll – seemingly an outlier — pours cold water on that theory.
A survey of likely voters conducted Wednesday by Redfield and Wilton Strategies shows the Democratic incumbent 14 points ahead of the Florida Governor in a hypothetical General Election, 47% to 33%.
Lest readers believe that’s just a strong poll for Democrats, former President Donald Trump closes the gap to a dead heat, trailing Biden 44% to 43%.
One major issue for DeSantis in this poll is that Trump voters don’t trust him. The Florida Governor is taking just 62% of the MAGA crowd, with 14% saying they would vote for Biden over him. Biden commands 82% of those who voted for him in 2020, meanwhile, with DeSantis driving just 5% crossover conversion.
The Redfield and Wilton poll shows a different narrative than the Harvard/Harris survey released Friday, which suggests Biden and DeSantis are knotted at 42%. While it’s just one poll, it offers a counter to the narrative DeSantis is telling donors.
The message that only DeSantis can win in 2024 is one the Governor has embraced, as heard in a call to donors organized by his Never Back Down super PAC Thursday.
“You have basically three people at this point that are credible in this whole thing,” Mr. DeSantis told donors, as reported by The New York Times.
“Joe Biden, Trump and me. And I think of those three, two have a chance to get elected President — Biden and me, based on all the data in the swing states, which is not great for the former President and probably insurmountable because people aren’t going to change their view of him.”
DeSantis’ argument rests in battleground state polls that have shown him consistently outperforming the former President in head-to-head matchups against Biden. These include April and May surveys from Public Opinion Strategies in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Wisconsin.

Putting the gun control and abortion issues aside …… Americans are tired of the hourly anxiety fabricated around manufactured non-existent “problems” by Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump. Neither Republican candidate is fit to become president.

All of a sudden, terms like ‘Naval Officer’ and ‘Harvard’ don’t really mean that much.
Impeach Biden

Yes a draft dodger (Biden) and his VP that literally blew her way up the ladder in Kalifornia are more appealing to the uneducated voters out there.

Who has the most draft dodges, Biden or Trump? Is dodging worse than voluntarily serving just so you can torture prisoners of war like we all saw the pictures of prison guards at Guantanamo Bay doing, where Ron DeSantis “served” as a prison guard? How does west coast ladder blowing land a job in D.C.? If you can spare a moment off the toilet, please explain, IBS

Ron DeSantis naval service included a stint as prison guard at Guantanamo Bay. We all saw the pictures. Pictures are worth 1,000 words. I predict Ron will be banning pictures soon.

Demon possession seems to run rampant in the Demoncrat Party. Yes, people can be possessed if they don’t know Jesus since only people who aren’t covered by Jesus are open to this invasion of hte soul. TRUTH. “And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.” JOE BIDEN IS POSSESSED. Fauci. Possessed. Pelosi. Possessed. Kamala. Possessed. Obamas. Possessed. Schiff Possessed. Swawell. hey fang fang…POSESSED. Clintons. Possessed. Bushes Possessed. Disgraced Gov. Cuomo. Possessed. (His brother Chris doesn’t appear to be, strangely). Maxine Waters. Possessed. Sharpton. Possessed. And the list goes on….MANY in decision making positions in CIA/DOJ/FBI… POSSESSED. None of these people have any power against those who belong to God and what’s in them knows it and it terrifies them as they know where they are going and everything they’re doing will be for nothing and turn against their very souls to destroy them because they refused to repent and come clean.
