Poll: Ron DeSantis faces 56-point hole in Michigan

Elon Musk tests the role of money in U.S. politics with multimillion-dollar effort to back Donald Trump

Trump leads 69% to 13%.

Florida’s Governor doesn’t look to have a path in Michigan when it comes to the 2024 race for the Republican presidential nomination.

That’s the sobering takeaway from the most recent Mitchell-MIRS Poll of Michigan released Friday.

That poll finds former President Donald Trump with 69% of the 300 Republican Primary voters surveyed, way out in front of Ron DeSantis (13%), former Vice President Mike Pence (3%), South Carolina Senator Tim Scott (2%), former South Carolina Governor and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley (1%), and Michigan businessman Perry Johnson (0%).

The poll’s signal of DeSantis’ seeming irrelevance in the state comes just a few months after Democrats sounded the alarm about the Governor’s purported extremism before he came to the state for speeches at the Midland County Republican Party Spring Breakfast and Hillsdale College.

Ahead of that former speech, he drew 200 protesters before delivering his standard stump speech.

At the end of the day Michigan does not matter for Republicans. Michigan voters will be voting for Joe Biden.

As Jennifer Rubin said he’s “thoroughly unlikable.”

Are there any polls or betting odds on Trump’s eventually going to prison?

  I am looking forward to betting odds for whoever the new Mr Rhonda will be after Casey serves Tiny D with papers for the Big D due to the untenable embarrassment he keeps causing her. And it just keeps getting worse every day. And I will even bet all three of their off springs end up at the orphanage. People are saying neither Rhonda nor Casey wants them slimy rug rats (obviously).

If Rhonda wants to dig out of any political holes, first they have to solve the hole they see in the mirror.

Unlike Ohio voters, voters here in Michigan would be very super impressed that Ron knows what a Blizzard is. Ron should come get a Blizzard at a Dairy Queen here in Michigan. That would turn things around for them.

So gratifying seeing this loser crash and burn.
