DeSantis 'on life support' in N.H., plummets in new poll (Politico)

[DemocraticPatriot]

Ron DeSantis is in freefall in New Hampshire.

The Florida GOP governor, who once polled ahead of former President Donald Trump in the first primary state, has now fallen solidly back into the pack, competing in a crowded race with biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie for second place in a new survey.

Support for DeSantis cratered to 10 percent in the CNN/University of New Hampshire poll released Wednesday, his worst showing in a public poll of Granite Staters yet, according to the list compiled by polling aggregator Real Clear Politics. He’s down 32 points from the January UNH survey in which he led Trump 42 percent to 30 percent. He now sits 29 points behind the former president.

“The campaign for Ron DeSantis is on life support,” veteran New Hampshire GOP strategist Mike Dennehy said in response to the poll. “He has one shot at resuscitation and that is the debate next week.”

DeSantis finished fifth in the survey, behind Ramaswamy at 13 percent, Haley at 12 percent and Christie at 11 percent. But because of the poll’s margin of error, the candidates are statistically in a four-way tie for second.

Please pardon me if this is considered a "right-wing source", but it is only about a poll, so I will 'take a pass' here...


Regarding DeSantis---- perhaps he needs to wipe snot on more voters?
Or eat pudding with more fingers ???

LMAO

even if he were to manage to score big in the more 'evangelical' state of Iowa,
his New Hampshire results are likely to shut him down...

1. Pull the fucking plug

[DemocraticPatriot]

2. Indeed. It would seem that COVID denial, and the war against Disney,

has not been enough to sustain his little 'boomlet'...



"M I C, K E Y,
M O U S E!"

14. Hand me the plug

I need to charge my phone.

[Attilatheblond]

19. Excellent response

[niyad]

3. Darn!!! The first four words got my hopes up! alas, it is only a poll. sighhhhh.

[DemocraticPatriot]

5. HA! Yes, sorry about that...

but it would seem that he is much less of a threat to democracy than he seemed 6 or 8 months ago....


and if he has fallen behind so many other of the GQP wannabes in New Hampshire,
that does not do much to support any 'future threat'


Meantime, Donald Trump Jr's "X" account announced the death of TFG,
apparently the post of a hacker.... too bad...

[sheshe2]

9. Lol!

Me too!

[musette_sf]

13. I thought the Don Jr hacker

got into Ron’s Xitter

[DBoon]

4. Unfortunately, he still has years left to further torment Florida

[DemocraticPatriot]

6. My sincere condolences....

How President Obama managed to win that state twice, and now it swings so far red, is beyond me....

but the GQP has done its best to suppress the votes of their opponents there..

7. Gawd, they are all so awful.

[DemocraticPatriot]

8. So whatever media coverage they get,

is a PLUS for Democracy and for reproductive freedom!!!

10. If sanity prevails (and the sane get out the vote)... 🙏

[DemocraticPatriot]

12. There is not enough sanity, in the party formerly known as

'Republican', to prevent TFG's nomination for the presidency in 2024...


That is my conclusion--- whether or not he has been convicted of felonies before the general election....


I mean, look at it. Any time in previous history, any such candidate under indictment for so many felonies would have been FORCED to withdraw his candidacy before now.... Instead, the "party formerly known as Republican" has rallied around him, their criminal nominee-to-be.....


I have been saying for 20 years, that the Republican party is a party of criminals, and not a political party, but a criminal organization---

and they are now proving me literally correct.


The only likely damage to be done to Trump in New Hampshire, would have to be done by Democrats and independents voting in the Republican primary in order to damage him. That supposition is supported by the polls which I have read... but it would never be enough to deny him the nomination of the party of criminals...

[mountain grammy]

11. I had exactly the same thought, awful.

[brush]

15. Guess NH voters "woke" up.

[czarjak]

16. Nothing Beats The Donald Except The Popular Vote Every Time

[cactusfractal]

17. He's never run against other Republicans, really

He's used to carrying the "Magic R", which works well in Florida with enough voters to win in many places against a D, but when there are other choices, people prefer not to support the guy with little actual charisma. Imagine that.

[Johonny]

18. But he's promised to be mean to every minority

And kill as many as possible with Covid. What else does he have to do, blow Putin?
