A new national poll suggests that a six-month decline in Ron DeSantis’ support in the presidential race continues unabated.
The Marquette Law School survey conducted from Sept. 18 through Sept. 25 shows that DeSantis has fallen from 35% back in March, when he was only 5 points behind Donald Trump in the Republican nomination chase, to just 12% in this poll.
Meanwhile, Trump, who was at 40% back in March, now has 56% support.
“DeSantis’s support has continued to decline, as it has since his high point in March, but he remains in second place. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley now appears to be in third place but remains in single digits,” the polling memo notes. The former South Carolina is at 6% in the survey of 384 likely voters, which was conducted before the second Republican presidential debate last week in Simi Valley, California.
The Governor has in fact lost 10 points since July, when he had 22% support. And Trump has gained those 10 points DeSantis has lost.
The Marquette poll tracks with the Race to the White House average nationally, which shows Trump with 56%, DeSantis with 13% and Haley with 7%.
However, the survey was much more favorable to DeSantis back in March than the national polling average, which showed Trump leading 46% to 27%.

The more you get to know Ron DeSantis….. the more you learn about his unconstitutional wingnut policies!

He’s doing nothing but it’s entertaining to watch him fail miserably anyhow. Pity is he has to come back when he’s done.

when you meet a danger out in the world do you just ignore it ? I, on the other hand, warn others of the danger to prevent the danger from hurting someone. desantis is a huge danger ,so lots of warning is necessary. similar to a hurricane warning. i would attempt to warn you, but judging from your comment, you are a maga cultist and wouldn’t listen.

Will Trump lose 2/3rds of his properties?
But he will need the cash for all the coming fines.
His many Manhattan enemies must be loving this. I’ll bet some will become bidders.
