While it’s still unclear whether Florida’s Governor will make a second run for the White House in 2028, a new poll shows him better positioned than almost any other recent survey.
Per a survey from co/efficient, Gov. Ron DeSantis has 10% support among Republicans. That puts him in third place behind Vice President JD Vance (61%) and President Donald Trump (24%), but ahead of Vivek Ramaswamy (6%) and Secretary of State Marco Rubio (5%).
The survey was in the field between June 12 and June 16, ahead of the U.S. bombing Iran’s nuclear sites this weekend.
Most recent polls have shown DeSantis below the 10% threshold.
An Atlas Intel poll from May actually shows Rubio at 10%, with the Governor 2 points behind.
A Rasmussen poll released last month showed DeSantis and Rubio tied at 5%, while a JL Partners poll from May showed DeSantis at 8% and Rubio at 6%.
After abandoning his presidential bid last year, DeSantis said he hadn’t “ruled anything out” and will “see what the future holds.”
It’s ultimately unclear whom Trump will back as his successor, meanwhile. The President has said Rubio and Vance are both potential successors.
Meanwhile, it’s clear from recent comments that Vance is still willing to make hay over DeSantis’ run. On X last week, he attacked a poster for supporting DeSantis in the Primary.

Stop with these silly polls. It’s JD’s job if he wants it.

I will love seeing DeSantis the Fascist bully waste his money on another Presidential run. The public despises him for his culture war with Woke, DEI, LGBTQ, book bans, changing school history books & education. No one wants a President that hates his constituents and the Constitution.

Your DEI, LGBTQMS-13, WOKE make up such a small percentage
Of voters. Go with that. Support men playing women’s sports. Another winner. Support open borders. Go with that one too. Now this message might not get past the scrubbers as Nikki Fried as the head scrubber is controlling the narrative

1. This far out, the numbers are inherently unstable. A week in politics can be an eternity. I mean, life happens, non?
2. With the “point spread” so narrow between the candidates, it is entirely possible that a single minor quirk in the sample could give a wrong result.
3. Also, the “margin of error” may play in here.
4. Other than that, thanks for adding to my store of knowledge about these things.
5. Vote Libertarian.
