New polling from Yahoo! and YouGov shows new strength for Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign among certain demographics, including a lead with Republican Primary voters who crossed party lines in the 2020 General Election.
Among those who plan to participate in GOP nominating contests this year, DeSantis leads with those who voted for Joe Biden over Donald Trump in 2020.
In the survey conducted between Oct. 12 and Oct. 16, DeSantis has 25% among those Biden voters crossing back over into the GOP lane for next year’s nomination contests. He’s ahead of Nikki Haley’s 22% and Trump’s 18%.
Among those who voted for Trump three years ago, the former President is still holding serve, retaining 61% of that support, ahead of DeSantis’ 16% and Haley’s 8%.
DeSantis is also demonstrating strength with women voters, surging to 20% support among women, but still 33 points behind Donald Trump.
Other candidates are far behind with female voters, including Haley. The former South Carolina Governor has 6% support with them, and the rest of the field is doing worse still.
DeSantis’ showing with women in this poll is notable given he has just 13% support with men, a marginal lead over Haley’s 12%, and a whopping 45 points behind Trump’s 58%.
Another interesting result for DeSantis suggests he should chase independent voters in the open Primaries on the calendar. He has 23% support with the group, which is his best result among any subgroup in this survey.
While that 23% is well behind Trump’s 45% with independents, it nearly doubles Haley’s 13%.
DeSantis’ showing with Republican voters, who of course make up most of those deciding the GOP presidential nomination, is somewhat less lofty.
He has 15% support among people of his own party. While that’s still good for second place, with Haley at 8%, Trump is at 58%.
Overall, DeSantis has 16% support, 40 points behind Trump and 7 points ahead of Haley. But as the crosstabs show, there is interesting variance among subgroups.

Good mornting America,
Attn: Dook 4 Brains Lefties, the rise of our next POTUS, Ron Desantis, has begun.
Now, Dook 4 Brains Lefties, is the time to practice screaming at the sky, wailing, gnashing of teeth, rendering of your garments, along with rubbing ashes on your faces.
Have an Earl Pitts American Day,
EPA
*ps: there will be no relaxing of the sphincters of any Dook 4 Brains Lefty’s over the next 8 years which will cause great constipation due to the total lock of your rectus mussels – convert to conservative American conservativsm today as your only cure.*

STFU Shitts for brains. Nobody thinks your smart or cute.
And obviously you cannot reed: “among certain demographics, including a lead with Republican Primary voters who crossed party lines in the 2020 General Election.”
MoRon is going to get eaten alive into political obscurity by the rest of the demographics and us “lefties” will be laughing at him and you!
Have a great day EarL with the big “L” for LOSER and prepare your own teeth gashing at the sky, while you swill Busch Light, the Republican Tranny beer.

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah JD,
76.34% of all of our beloved host’s, F. P. readership come here each and every day, weekends too, and patronise the advertizers here just because they are anxious to see just who the H E Double Hocky Sticks Earl Pitts American is taking to the woodshed for a cry-baby spanking of their life.
Contrast that with the 0.000% of our beloved host’s F. P. readership that come here to see what Dook 4 Brains JD is whining about.
Who’s your Daddy, JD?
Me, Earl Pitts “JD’s Daddy” American

You come to a political forum to get validation and affirmation?
LMAO!
Pathetic EarL Shitts with the Big “L” for LOSER.
I AM your DADDY Shitts, as I PWN you.
You see me attack anyone else? Other than the occasional accolade when I agree or the politicans themselves? It’s because you’re a MoRon (like MoRon DickSantis).
Enjoy your “76.34%” LOL

First DeSantis will NEVER be the nominee and second, if it was just Biden with Desantis in general, Biden would still win with the exception of Florida. Although a lot of Florida voters are disgusted with Desantis and realize he adopted nazi ideology. And is a very bad Governor – poor leadership to ALL floridians.

So all the registered republicans who hated trump so much they voted for Biden like Desantis? Big effing deal – what is that, 1000 people maybe out of 150 million? I guess he’s desperate for any news, anywhere that make him look like he’s doing well.
