A new survey from McLaughlin and Associates finds Florida’s Governor is an afterthought, at least early on, in a hypothetical 2028 presidential race.
The survey, conducted Jan. 22 through 27, shows Ron DeSantis at 8% support, far behind Vice President JD Vance (27%) and Donald Trump, Jr. (21%).
Another Florida man is farther back: Secretary of State Marco Rubio has 3% support, tied with Tulsi Gabbard and Vivek Ramaswamy.
DeSantis was also at 8% in an Echelon Insights poll of the theoretical contest conducted last year, with Vance nearly 30 points ahead of him.
DeSantis’ comments about his future intentions have been all over the place, meanwhile, but he clearly is not closing the door on higher office.
“Oh, I haven’t ruled anything out,” DeSantis said in February, addressing the 2028 question during a call with people who pledged to be his delegates at the GOP Convention.
“We’ll see what the future holds,” DeSantis said to a radio host in Iowa last January, suggesting he may indeed be striving to keep the band together.
“Most of the people that supported me, whether activists, whether volunteers, whether fundraisers, you know, they’re all on board, you know, for what the future holds. So we’ll be active,” DeSantis promised.
As DeSantis skirmishes with the Florida Legislature over immigration legislation, setting the stage for a fractious next two years, it will be interesting to see how that affects his estimation among Republican voters nationally, especially with Vance playing to the same bloc of voters.
Based on what polls are out this earl though, DeSantis is room for improvement.

DeSantis for Speaker of the House ’27, or SCOTUS.

Haven’t we learned that these polls are bogus. One of the reasons I cancelled my local paper as they published bogus polls attempting to influence an election. Of course JD Vance would be the favorite in 2028. Now what kook will the Demos put up in 2028?

Sage Wisdom there Peachy,
This is just a leftist “Hit Piece” against Ron & Casey.
As far as the “Dook 4 Brains Left’s” POTUS PUPPET in 2028 they were all feeling Gavin Poosome from out there in “Ultra Dook 4 Brains Leftist DOOK-A-FORNIA”.
However then he sadly let major parts of his “Dook-State” burn to the ground … so there’s that.
Thanks again Peachy,
These are great times to be Sage Patriots,

Last I looked, we’re still dealing with the kook in the WH now and judging by the daily chaos, it’s going to be a long four years so I wouldn’t be too worried about who will be next.

You just said you agree that DeSantis isnt the chosen one for POTUS. Appears the poll is correct.

The right does not like polls that disagrees with their opinions DeSantis has been one of the worst Florida governor in my memory (77-year old Florida native). His term cannot end soon enough

You are so right Tom P, and somehow the only bright spot for me is his fall from favor with his own team.
Et Tu, Wilton?

Good to see that 3% of Republicans surveyed support DOGE drop out Vivek, and 3% support butcher Assad’s pal Tulsi. Desantis is going to get squashed by Suzi Willes who has Trump’s ear, and all Ron’s going to hear in 2028 is another round of cowbells.
