Even after two terms of Ron DeSantis in the Governor’s Mansion ends in 2026, a new poll suggests Florida Republicans may want to give the First Lady a shot.
The University of North Florida Public Opinion Research Lab survey shows Casey DeSantis ahead of a pool of potential Republican candidates, suggesting that GOP registrants may want a DeSantis dynasty in Tallahassee.
The First Lady is the choice of 22% of those surveyed. And while 40% of the respondents are undecided, the data suggests that Casey DeSantis may be able to parlay what has been an active and momentous tenure in her current role into executive branch power for herself.
“We’re obviously still a ways out from the Governor’s race, and this pool of candidates will certainly change before 2026,” commented pollster Michael Binder. “For now, it seems Florida’s First Lady Casey DeSantis is an early favorite among Republican primary voters — wouldn’t that be interesting, potentially having the DeSantises in the Governor’s Mansion for another 11 years.”
Casey DeSantis leads with virtually all demographics except Black voters Her weakest demographic: those respondents with college educations, of whom 15% support her, while 11% support Rep. Matt Gaetz.
Other names are in single digits, including two U.S. Representatives rumored to be eyeing the state’s top job.
U.S. Reps. Byron Donalds and Gaetz have 9% support in the survey, followed by Attorney General Ashley Moody (6%), Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis (3%), and Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nuñez (2%). Meanwhile, Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson, U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz, and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez each have 1% support.
Despite the wide variety of names, 6% of respondents want someone else altogether.
The poll surveyed 788 registered Republicans and was conducted from October 23 through November 4,

Good mornting America,
One of my assistants, Miss Rolex, got a little intoxicated a few nights back and was speaking loudly at a fancy dining establishment and accidently let our “Sage Wisdom Plan” for Casey out of “The Bag”.
At the time we were unaware that the leader of The Florida Democratic Party was lurking at a dark corner table, eating edibals and getting faced off of too much wine. She later got up and chided my assistant, Miss Rolex, for having a big beautiful mouth and then stated she did not know this about Casey. Then she winked at me and said “Goodbye Earlizer”. Hey thats what she calls me.
Anyway, long story short, we had to get ahead of the situation and do our own Casey release before Nikki could slander us with her Dook 4 Brains interpertation of “Earl’s Sage Plan”.
Thank you America,

Though Ron DeSantis is regarded as highly intelligent and a data-driven policy wonk, having graduated Yale and Harvard with honors, his wife, Casey, is better at retail politics and connecting with people. As an Emmy Award winning TV journalist, she’s very telegenic.

Thanks Scott,
Thats some sage wisdom there Sir.
Just to keep you in the loop I, Earl Pitts American, am working with key Florida Legislatures to introduce a bill allowing The Florida National Guard to shuttle Casey up to Washington DC in order to assist President [Ron] Desantis and Govorner [Casey] Desantis with the healthy kissing and whatever normal red-blooded good looking horn-dog hot young couples may like to do.
Its the least our Great State can do as a show of gratitude to the Great Desantis’s in their service to both our Great Nation and our Great State.
Thank you for your unwavering support and everyone should call and write their Legislatures and demand this sage Legislation be rushed thru the process for unamious approval.

Excellant wacky leftist contraian response Rick.
You are the abslout best at making and maintaining my political super-star world-wide #1 status. If I ever visit the Space Station I, Earl Pitts American, will have acheived my finest dream of “Universal-Political-Influncer American.
All thanks to your wacky leftist contrarian followup commentary which the public at large can not turn their eyes away from. For most readers I, Earl Pitts American, am the #1 political voice on the planet. Once Ron is in The White House my fondest dream of riding on the Space Station for a few laps around The Planet to acheive Universal fame and adoration will be achieved. And all because of my Besty Rick.

People I know have moved here despite desantis because he won’t be around forever. Politicians come and go and frankly, they’re easy enough to avoid unless you follow politics in the news. Not sure what those other wingnuts have to do with anything anymore than MTG or bobo. This is Florida – they’re somebody else’s problems thankfully.

Hamas brutally attacked and killed some 1500 Israelis, mostly civilians, and is holding for ransom some 200.
Israel has brutally attacked and killed some 10 thousand Palestinian civilians and a few hundred(?) Hamas adherents. Israel already holds some 5000 Palestinian prisoners and is standing by while armed West Bank civilians purge the area of Arabs.

She would not qualify for membership, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center (albeit it has never been known for using facts more than slander and defamation against its perceived enemies). Casey DeSantis has served the residents of our state well as Florida’s First Lady.
“Hellish” is more apropos to describe 11 more DeSantis years!

Tacky-O won a small-town/third-rate regional Suncoast Emmy for a TV program she hosted. This is not to be confused with the real Emy awards that real journalists have received at the national level.
She is such a low-class poseur, always wanting to be something she will never be.
