A fresh Palmetto State poll shows Ron DeSantis way behind Donald Trump, with two in-state candidates nipping at his heels.
An American Greatness poll of 500 likely voters in the 2024 South Carolina Republican Primary, which was in the field Wednesday and Thursday, finds the former President with 43% support.
DeSantis’ 18% puts him just ahead of two South Carolina natives for second place.
U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, who hails from North Charleston, takes 12% in the new survey. Former United Nations envoy Nikki Haley, a Bamberg native who also served as Governor of the Palmetto State, commands 10% support.
Meanwhile, 13% of respondents are undecided, and no other potential or current candidate has more than 1% support.
Despite the gap between Trump and DeSantis, other metrics in the poll point to a more even race than the 25-point spread suggests.
“On the question of favorability, Trump leads DeSantis by only 6 points, with 72% to 66%. However, slightly more S.C. likely voters had an unfavorable opinion of Trump versus DeSantis, 25% to 24%,” the polling memo asserts.
On other metrics, however, Trump thumps the Florida Governor.
“Trump also holds a commanding lead over DeSantis on the question of who Primary voters feel is the best candidate to improve our economy (60% to 11%) and is seen as a stronger voice against far-left progressives (42% to 20%),” the memo asserts.
“Additionally, S.C. Republicans see Trump as more compassionate to their needs (36% to 19%). Trump holds a marginal lead over DeSantis (34% to 29%) when it comes to which candidate has the best chance to defeat Joe Biden in the General Election.”
Trump has led most polling in the state even as two South Carolinians have emerged as candidates.
A National Public Affairs survey conducted from May 15 through May 17 shows the former President has 38% support, 15 points above DeSantis’ 23%.
An April survey from Winthrop University told a similar story, suggesting Trump is the choice of 41% of poll respondents, doubling up both DeSantis (20%) and Haley (18%).

FACTS:
The intentionally vague laws allowing parents to ban books was REVIEWED AND APPROVED by Ron DeSantis and Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody. Both lawyers intentionally approved a vague law ….. what does that tell you about their motivation?
The parent behind Amanda Gorman’s poem ban in a Florida school appears to have attended Proud Boys rallies and has previously posted antisemitic memes online.
The parent, first identified by the Miami Herald as Daily Salinas, made headlines this week after reports emerged of her effort to ban a series of books at the elementary Bob Graham education center in Miami Lakes where her two children attend.

Whichever of Haley or Scott drops out first, the remaining one will immediately be ahead of Rhonda. Because Everybody Hates Rhonda. That is why brilliant fashionista and boss ma’am Mrs Rhonda made him wear those white boots.

Good evening America,
Y’all stay prayed up there in South Carolina. James Clyburn has already begun biting the heads off live chickins while sitting naked in an evil pentagram of hot coals conjuring up all kinds of demonic spirits in order to put another voodoo doodoo spell on ihe State of South Carolina to make them once again vote for 8iden.
Theres really nothing any regular person can do to stop James Clyburn, we considered sending in Franklin Graham with the mighty 2 edged sword of God. And yeah Graham could easly lop off Clyburn’s head and save the good citizens of South Carolina.
But at what cost?
Our Great Nation needs Franklin Graham now more than ever. We must find another way to stop the evil Clyburn or just surrender South Carolina to the devil as we had to do last time.
Maybe we send in Franklin, the Pope, and the Dali Lama in to disturb the universal time/space continuam and thwart Clyburn once and forever.
If anyone wants to volunteer to go in and thwart Clyburn’s evil plan contact me, Earl Pitts American at the Earl Pitts American Fan Club.
FYI just in case it all blows up and goes to #ell, I, Earl Pitts American, have a team of Navy Seals on standby to save myself, Earl Pitts American.
I suggest you all get your own team of Navy Seals because things are getting hot in South Carolina.
Thank you America
