If Ron DeSantis wants to wrest front-runner status away from Donald Trump in the 2024 Republican presidential race, he’s going to have to resolve his trouble with female voters.
That’s one takeaway from a new poll by The Economist and YouGov, which illustrates DeSantis is dragging with women voters, and is stronger with men.
While DeSantis only trails Trump 48% to 26% with male voters, with former United Nations envoy Nikki Haley and U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina each taking 4% for a distant third, he’s doing much worse with women.
In this survey, 54% of female Republicans back Trump, with just 17% backing DeSantis. In third place with women voters: former Vice President Mike Pence, who has 6% support.
All told, Trump has a 51% to 21% lead over the Florida Governor.
“Trump continues to be the top choice of registered voters who are Republicans or independents who lean toward the Republican Party. Among this group, Trump holds a 30-percentage-point lead over Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in a hypothetical Primary held now; all other announced candidates tested are in single digits,” the polling memo notes.
“Trump fares better — and DeSantis fares worse — among women in this group of registered Republicans and Republican leaners; Trump performs better among people in this group without a college degree and DeSantis among people with one. One in 10 Republican and Republican-leaning voters (11%) aren’t sure whom they’d support in a hypothetical Primary held in their state today.”
DeSantis has just 16% support among those Republicans who did not graduate college, 43 points behind Trump. But among grads, the two are in a dead heat statistically, with Trump taking 33% and DeSantis commanding 32%.
DeSantis also struggles with voters 45 years of age and up, taking just 18% against 54% for Trump. Meanwhile, this poll suggests he does not have particular appeal in his region of the country.
“Even in the South, DeSantis’s home region, the Florida Governor trails the former President by 30 points — the same as Trump’s lead nationwide.”
The poll was in the field from Sunday through Tuesday.

MAGAt women like rapists. I’m sure if we look closer at DeSantis we can find a rape or two.
There was a video on Twitter yesterday where Jim Bridenstein, a Rep from Oklahoma said he and
DeSantis liked to take showers together while in Congress every morning they took a shower together

And women do not embrace the gayness going on like Trump does. He held a party for th LGBT crowd at Mar-a-Lago 12/22. Trump told the gays that he was working hard for them. Most women wouldn’t vote for blasphemy and an abomination like Trump. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/12/16/celebration-same-sex-marriage-mar-a-lago-00074441

Let’s not forget the educated middle of the road female Republicans who don’t like either of the candidates you listed like my wise and highly cognizant mother. If she doesn’t vote Dem in 24, like she did for Obama’s 2nd run, Hillary, and Joe in 2020, she would vote Hutchinson in a primary. The GOP lost my life long Republican mother, when they declared war on individual freedom and social and civil rights. She claims to be a Reaganite, believing in the govt staying out of boardrooms and bedrooms. What happened she wants to know?

Even GOP women know that he went to far with his idiotic abortion ban. This shiathead spent the last few years literally ruining Florida just to build his resume for an obviously failed run at POTUS.
He will be completely irrelevant in a few years, and the next Governor (likely a Democrat because the political pendulum is gonna swing HARD due to him) will have a lot of damage to repair.

Republican legislators who backed DeSantis immigration law appear to downplay its potential impact
“This bill is 100% supposed to scare you,” one Republican legislator told a South Florida crowd Monday. This while Cubans had learned that DeSantis sent another flight of their brothers to CAL!
Can MAGAts get any dumber? {Plese don’t answer this. I know they will). They will set themselves on fire if they thought, they had any chance of ever winning a election after this year.
We helped over 188,200 Cubans and Hispanic to change their party. There are over 26% Hispanic in FL. 17% are registered voters. They were GOP, NO LONGER! 3.8 million registered voters were screaming last Thursday “go to Cuba with Castro, DeSantis!” woo…. MAGAts are going to have a problem next year…..
DeSantis made sure of this. It only took him one bill and a few of his bootlickers to change almost. 3.8 million voters to Dem

Every single Republican candidate for president is an anti abortion, anti women’s health, anti discrimination Republican candidate, anti transgender health and anti woke!
Republican candidates are pandering to the very lowest common denominator of their electorate….. forgetting that there are tens of millions of Republican and independent voters who are very happy with Joe Biden’s quiet demeanor and excellent stewardship of the complicated COVID mess, double digit high unemployment and self-inflicted international chaos left to Biden by the departing childish Trump administration. Not a single Republican candidate spoke out about Trump’s expected and delivered outcome of THE TRUMP TRADE WARS: INFLATION!
Republicans should keep an eye on 2028 and reverse course with a NEW CANDIDATE WITH A NEW VISION for this country. You must abandon your draconian abortion policies and anti woke policies …. If you want to win over the next generation of young people. Republicans have lost the opportunity to re-brand from within their miserable collection of hateful candidates. FIND NEW CANDIDATES FOR 2028!

Are you sure it was only $13,000 and not $13 million because that is what DeSantis lost in the SVB closure. But it was only Florida retirees funds.
The $1 billion that he gave to high cost low income MAGAt broker friends is being investigated by the DOJ.
Maybe we can eliminate the MAGAts down to Chris Christie as the only one running! He is a Truth sayer.. The exact opposite of any MAGAts.

Thank you for insulting all the other women who don’t feel Ron DeSantis has their best interests in mind or things that are important to them. He almost lost in 2018 and might have if it wasn’t for him kissing Trumps ass. He also ran against Charlie Crist in 2022 and everyone knew he wasn’t going to win. And half the state didn’t turn out to vote.

And that is why Casey is the leaker, trying to sink Rhonda. Her campaign isn’t really Ron “Dee” DeSantis for Governor, it’s “Casey Anthony DesSantis for Mrs Musk.” Casey is just trying to land Elon Musk. It’s why she had Ron exempt Tesla from his little car dealer protection scheme they just put into law. Ron talks about trans drag queens, but car salesmen? C”mon, man. Car dealership people are eclipsed in their awfulness only by Florida GOPs.

Fearmongering because they’re afraid of Ron.
The goal is clear: replace the family and God in the population’s lives with the State. The State will be your family and your God. This is the driving force, and ultimate goal of the Left. Normalizing aberrant behavior cleaves the family, and separates the individual from tradition and history. This is also why there is a drive to destroy Western civilization from within.

Here was my post months ago:
“Blame the College Educated White Female, all she votes is emotional. She wants to abort freely and she wants her college debt paid off. She is a selfish voter who hates Trumps tweets still, doesn’t understand how the Democrats are killing this country through bad economics and the justice system, she wants her high paid job, her freedom to abort babies and freedom to declare her kids whatever gender she “feels” at the time and she hates God and Christians for making her feel guilty when she aborts a baby. They vote “independent” with an emotional guide that has to “like” the candidate first, then competence/good policies come a distant second. They are the largest swing vote out there. They put this corrupt imbecilic administration into office in 2020 and is poised to do it again. “

Only a nation of very depraved people, mostly homosexuals, will allow women to vote. Heterosexuals nations recognize that men are supposed to be in charge. That’s why the communists brought feminism to America in order to overthrow it. When women rule over men, that is the most direct indication that a nation is under Gods judgement and His wrath. But, it’s also appropriate for women to rule over a nation of homosexuals.

DeSantis would make a better President than Trump, but I think you’re correct. He should probably stay in Florida. If he went to the District of Criminals, first good decision he made, the FBI, CIA, Prince Charles and the whole globalist order with all the usual names would be plotting to kill him.

June 16, 2023 at 10:05 am
Whether you believe that women should have the right to vote or not, the fact is that they outnumber men and what we have is the result of the women’s vote. Yes, there is tons of election fraud, but our first, major heads up about that came from the league of women voters punching ballots in a secret back room and the hanging chad story in the Florida Bush race.
