Florida’s Governor has reason for optimism after yet another poll taken in the wake of last week’s GOP presidential debate.
In an Emerson College poll released Monday, Ron DeSantis’ position has improved by 2 points as compared to the poll released last week.
The Governor is now at 12% support, while his two main rivals lost ground. Vivek Ramaswamy is down to 9%, from 10% the week before. Donald Trump, who didn’t debate, lost 6 points, falling to 50% overall. Meanwhile, Nikki Haley and Mike Pence each are at 7%.
It wasn’t all good news for DeSantis, as the poll suggests his voters, along with Trump’s, are shopping around.
“There appears to be a softening of support for Trump since last week’s survey, where 82% of Trump voters said they would definitely support him, compared to 71% after the debate. DeSantis’ support also softened from 32% who would definitely support to 25%, while Ramaswamy support remained consistent from 47% to 45%,” Executive Director of Emerson College Polling Spencer Kimball said.
Meanwhile, a slight plurality of voters think Ramaswamy won the debate, with 18% saying he won compared to 16% for DeSantis. But that’s not translating into vote share.
“When presented with a Republican Primary ballot test with only the debate stage candidates, 30% of voters would support DeSantis, followed by Ramaswamy at 25%, Pence at 16%, and Haley at 12%. Chris Christie (8%), Tim Scott (5%), Asa Hutchinson (3%) and Doug Burgum (3%) round out the field,” the polling memo notes.
“When Trump is removed from the GOP ballot test, his voters split between DeSantis at 32% and Ramaswamy at 29%, with Pence at 16% — which suggests if Trump was to not run, a race between DeSantis and Ramaswamy could take shape,” Kimball said.
This isn’t the only poll showing DeSantis benefited from last week’s debate.
An InsiderAdvantage national survey of 850 likely Republican caucus and Primary voters conducted Thursday shows the Florida Governor with 18% support, nearly doubling his support from 9.7% in the previous administration of the poll Aug. 19 and Aug. 20.

Good mornting America,
Its playing out just like I told you and just like it plays out every Presidential Election.
1. The polling business’s lie to the public, because they are getting paid by the left, to make it appear the conservative side will loose.
2. The polling business’s always reach a tipping point at which they must back off the lies because:
*a. They will loose their creditability and thus be out of business forever if they keep on lying any longer. b. The left stops paying them to keep on lying because we always reach a point where the public knows either the left will win or the right will win prior to the election.
Basically, America, its the law of diminishing returns on paying off the polling business’s to keep on lying.*
America:
We have reached that point.
*And my appologies to all the readership here at our beloved host F. P. who did not need my, Earl Pitts American’s, “Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) explanation above.*
Please keep in mind we have a majority “Dook 4 Brains Leftist” readership here and the KISS explanation is the one and only way to even have a chance of helping those readers see the true wonder of the knowledge which I, Earl Pitts American, and I alone can provide.
Thank you beloved readership and fans,

Earl, get off.your fat lazy arse and go volunteer to be a poll worker in your county. You’ll earn some money and actually learn how elections operate instead of pretending you know something about what you’re ignorant of

Seriously? With that forgettable performance, squeaky voice and weird attempt to smile?
What kind of swill are GQP voters swilling?
Kind of surprised that Ramasmarmy didn’t get a YUGE bump from the conspiracy theory crowd. He recited the hit parade of lies from A-Z.

Much more like a cancerous lump.
