A new Granite State survey suggests that Ron DeSantis is in the middle of the pack of Republican presidential candidates.
An Echelon Insights poll of 800 likely New Hampshire Primary voters conducted between Aug. 15 and Aug. 17 shows DeSantis with just 9% support, behind Donald Trump (34%), Chris Christie (14%) and Vivek Ramaswamy (11%).
DeSantis is 2 points out of fifth place: U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina has 7% support. No other candidate is above 3% in the survey.
The Governor’s 9% is a better performance than he had in one recent poll.
A survey from Emerson College showed DeSantis at 8%, 1 point below Christie and 41 points behind Trump.
However, the trend is troubling.
A survey conducted by the Manhattan Institute last month showed just 2 points separate the Florida Governor and the former New Jersey Governor, with both men in low double digits. DeSantis stood at just 13%, 2 points up on Christie’s 11%.
A July survey commissioned by American Greatness and conducted by National Research Inc., showed DeSantis with 11% support, 30 points behind Trump and just 3 points up on Christie and Scott.
The American Pulse survey conducted between July 5 and July 11 showed Trump with 48% and DeSantis with 10.5%, just half a point above Christie’s 10%.
DeSantis has embraced the Granite State’s Governor, meanwhile, appearing with him last weekend in New Hampshire and defending Chris Sununu against attacks from Trump.
“I disagree with Donald Trump’s attacks on Gov. Chris Sununu. I think New Hampshire is the best governed state in New England. I think Chris has done a great job up there and you can see the fact that people flee to New Hampshire, just like people flee to Florida, whether it’s to escape crime, high taxes, you name it,” DeSantis said last week during a press conference.

Ron’s been sucking up to Chris Sununu for an endorsement, but the NH governor is not giving Ron a handshake or a kiss. No one likes Ron much these days. Once you get to know who he is, the more despicable he becomes.

I do believe MiniMussolini learned the gentle art of ass-kissing from his former hero, The Obese Orange Criminal. We all remember those truly awful political ads when MiniMussolini used his little fascist rugrats as political tools, with Tacky-O beaming in the background.

Pretty sure that pudgy fascist DeSantis the hateful midget was pinning all his hopes on New Hampshire, wasn’t he?

Ron has been telling the folks of New Hampshire how crappy their states is during his campaign tour. I am surprised that he has 9%.

Not everyone votes based on a candidate’s personality. Not everyone votes based on a candidate’s policies. Not everyone votes based on which group a candidate has disenfranchised. Not everyone votes based on a candidate’s race or religious views.
However, a candidate must project a reason for the electorate to vote for them instead of voting for someone else.
Republicans are America’s biggest problem!
Vote all Republicans out of office!

It’s a race to the bottom, folks! And I’ve got my money on our little governor!
Squeak!
Not troubling to everyone!

The bias of the reporter is showing: “the trend is troubling.” Only to a DeSantis supporter, anyway. Could have at least added “to his campaign.” Not really “fair and balanced”😉
