Gov. Ron DeSantis is seeing his best number in months in Presidential Primary polling, storming into the teens in a recent survey.
The Overton Insights poll shows him at 13% among Republican and Republican-leaning voters, and at 14% among strictly GOP registered voters.
That’s good enough for third place.
Vice President JD Vance leads the hypothetical field, with 36% among GOP and GOP-leaning voters. He hits the same number with strictly Republican registrants.
And the President’s namesake son, Donald Trump Jr., is at 31% overall and 32% with just GOP registered voters.
Further back at 6% with both groups is Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The poll of 536 registered voters was in the field from March 24 through March 27.
DeSantis said last year that he hasn’t “ruled anything out” and that he will “see what the future holds.”
While 13% support for DeSantis sounds less than impressive, it represents improvement over other recent surveys.
A YouGov survey in the field from March 30 through April 1 shows that while 8% of Republicans and GOP-leaning respondents back the former 2024 candidate making a second run, 10% of respondents would be disappointed if he were nominated.
That 8% is better than the 7% he had in a March survey of Republican voters from Echelon Insights.
A previous Echelon Insights poll 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 Trump Jr.
DeSantis was also at 8% in an Echelon Insights poll of the theoretical contest conducted last year.
At a straw poll conducted at this year’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%.

If 30% of Republicans consider Don Trump, Jr. their first choice, everything Peter always says about them is true. The good news is that after crashing the market and likely setting the economy back 10 years, recession, negative growth we wont have to listen to Donald talk about a third term much longer. Even the yahoos know better.
