Ron DeSantis continues to struggle in 2028 Presidential Primary surveys, with a new poll showing DeSantis with his worst number so far.
The survey of Republican voters from Echelon Insights shows the Florida Governor with just 7% support nationwide.
That anemic number ties him for second place with two other candidates from last cycle: former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr.
Vice President JD Vance has 46% support, meanwhile.
Further back is another Florida man: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who has 4%.
DeSantis performs best with senior citizens. He has 13% support among those 65 years of age and over. He’s also at 10% with those who attended graduate school.
Rubio finds his strongest backing among Hispanic voters, with 10% support.
Echelon polled 475 registered Republicans between March 10 and March 13.
DeSantis said last year that he hasn’t “ruled anything out” and that he will “see what the future holds.”
But so far, the future looks bleak.
A previous Echelon Insights survey conducted between Feb. 10 and Feb. 13 found the Governor of Florida at 10% support, 29 points behind Vance.
A January survey from McLaughlin & Associates showed DeSantis at 8%, behind Vance and Donald Trump Jr.
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.
At a straw poll conducted at last month’s Conservative Political Action Conference, DeSantis mustered 7% support, finishing far behind Vance’s 61% and also behind Steve Bannon, whose 12% support surprised many observers.
As of now, DeSantis couldn’t win his home state, according to one survey.
A survey released exclusively to Florida Politics by Fabrizio Lee & Associates shows that Vance would defeat the Governor 47% to 33%.

We’re less than two months into the Trump Presidency.
Are the Democrats so afraid of Ron DeSantis that they have to start smearing him more than three years out?
Stupid & Pathetic — those are just the first two words that come to mind whenever I think of Democrats!

Most Americans view Florida as the ultimate wingnut State. Things won’t change here until voters feel real pain month after month.

People and companies continue to come to Florida so your statement is BS. If you want to talk about wingnut states, then I offer up The People’s Republic of Kalifornia as a great example. People and companies continue to bail out. They lost a Congressional Seat for the first time. A perfect example of a beautiful state ruined by liberal Democrats lead by Pelosi, Harris, Waters, Schiff, Garcetti, Newsom, etc. etc. Take the Palisades area of Los Angeles, Some of the highest taxes in the state. What kind of services do they get? Heck the fire hydrants had no pressure and the homes burned to the ground.

1. You don’t put out a wildfire with hydrants.
2. California new business start-ups are up 5% …. Just like Florida.
3. California is still the sixth largest economy on planet earth.
4. Excluding Texas, the California GDP is greater than all the other red states combined.

Only 7%? That’s nothing another 3 month charisma-deficient visit to every county in Iowa won’t fix, right?

Perhaps, but empty-headed millionaires want to own an elected official and Dee is open for bidness.
