Christie DeSantis
Just two points separate Christie and DeSantis in New Hampshire poll.

Ron DeSantis is facing a serious threat from Chris Christie in the New Hampshire Primary, according to a new poll from the Manhattan Institute.

The survey conducted last month shows just two points separate the Florida Governor and the former New Jersey Governor, with both men in low double digits.

DeSantis stands at just 13%, two points up on Christie’s 11%. Close behind them are Vivek Ramaswamy (8%), Nikki Haley (7%), and Tim Scott (7%). This shows a functional diffusion of the opposition vote to Donald Trump, who still leads comfortably at 34%, but far short of the majority.

DeSantis made national news in New Hampshire with remarks issued at a BBQ in the town of Rye when he made reference to “slitting throats on Day 1” if elected President, referring to “deep state people.” The remarks proved controversial.

This is the latest Granite State poll to show the Governor in trouble.

A July survey commissioned by American Greatness and conducted by National Research Inc., shows DeSantis with 11% support, 30 points in back of Trump and just three points up on Christie and Scott.

The American Pulse survey conducted between July 5 and July 11 shows Trump with 48% and DeSantis with 10.5%, just 0.5 points above Christie’s 10%.

Other polls are friendlier.

A J.L. Partners poll reported last month by the British Daily Mail shows DeSantis with just 15% support, 27 points below Trump’s 42%. In a tie for third place with 8% each are Christie and Scott.

The Granite State Poll from the University of New Hampshire Survey Center shows the Florida Governor just 14 points behind the former President, 37% to 23%.

    Good Mornting America!!!!!
    Stand by for the first ever exciting edition of “Lunch With Earl” where I, Earl Pitts American, provide insightfull political nuggets of gold for America to contimplate on as they chew their sammichs.
    1. In regards to the above artical’s citation of the polling entity “Manhatten Institute”:
    Hey America that dont sound like a leftist leaning bunch of Dook 4 Brains polling business folks at all…does it America? “My Big ‘Ole 8utt America”!!!! Manhatten Institute??? Thats about as left leaning as you can get without falling over and bustng the left side of your fool head!!!!
    2. And another thing America “Casey Dedantis”:
    America why do we always hear about Ron’s wife in leftist media?
    Casey This – Casey That – Casey made Ron wear those sissy white boots…bla bla bla…
    3. But America why do we never Never NEVER hear Anything whatsoever about Chris Christy’s wife. Does Biggens even have a wife? Do you even know her name?
    Seriously America some of y’all likely know Ron’s lovely wife Casey’s shoe size but Christy’s wife…y’all got nothing Nothing NOTHING. Seriously I would not be supprised to learn Christy’s got a skinny little “Pete Buddigeg” of a man – wife at home as Biggens always looked like he had an eye for those skinny ‘Lil Fellers if ya know what I mean.
    Well now that about wraps up today’s exciting edition of “Lunch With Earl” so stay tuned I, Earl Pitts American, will try to make “Lumch With Earl” a regular treat for America as they chew their sammichs.

      Awwww, poor Earl “Shitts for Pitts” is grasping at straws as his political horse is falling farther and farther behind.

      Even with the big cash injection, it’s not helping. People are turning on you as are the rest of the institutional donors.

      Have you tried crying about it? Because YOU got nothing.

      America’s Governor our collective asses.

    Thank you JD for your critique of my, Earl Pitts American’s, first installment of Lunch With Earl.
    I’ve had rave reviews from all the POTUS candidates so far except Chris Christy for some reason.
    Most of the candidates for POTUS are begging me, Earl Pitts American to feature them in an upcoming episode of Lunch With Earl.
    In addition they are telling me to keep an eye on your trifialing @55 because they feel you are angeling to steal my genious concept and start your imitation knock-off of my genious concept and name it “Lunch With Dook 4 Brains JD”.
    Watch yourself JD I, Earl Pitts American, got my eye on you.
    Thanks again JD,
    Earl Pitts American
