Get ready for a political showdown of epic proportions as former President Donald Trump emerges as the Republican Party’s front-runner for the 2024 presidential nomination, according to a new poll. Not only is Trump leading nationally, but he is even outpacing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in his own backyard. Will this be the end of DeSantis’ presidential aspirations? Let’s dive in!
The results are in and it’s clear: Donald Trump is the GOP frontrunner for the 2024 nomination and he’s not just the favorite nationally, he’s leading in his home state of Florida too. A new poll conducted by Rich Baris’ Big Data has revealed that Trump holds a whopping 52.5 percent of likely GOP voters in the Sunshine State, while his rival Ron DeSantis trails behind with only 32.6 percent. This is a crushing blow for the current Governor of Florida whose presidential campaign has already started, and it’s a clear indication that Trump’s popularity within the Republican party hasn’t waned.
Interestingly, the poll shows that Trump leads in almost every region of the state, with the only exception being Leon and Gadsden where DeSantis has a slight advantage. The Miami/Gold Coast region is a prime example of this, where Trump leads by a landslide with 60.4 percent to DeSantis’ measly 25.3 percent. Furthermore, Mike Pence, who is also planning to run for the nomination, only garnered 2.4 percent of the votes, while other potential candidates like Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, Vivek Ramaswamy, Asa Hutchinson, and Chris Christie lagged far behind with less than 2 percent of the votes.
These results are a clear indication that Trump is still the kingmaker in the Republican party, and that his influence extends well beyond Washington, D.C. With DeSantis only just announcing his presidential campaign, it’s clear that he’s got a lot of work to do if he wants to mount a serious challenge against the former president. Trump has consistently led in polling since he announced his intention to run for a second term in November 2022, and it’s becoming increasingly clear that his hold on the party is unshakeable.
The mainstream media might try to spin this as a negative for the GOP, but true conservatives know the truth: Trump represents the values and principles that the Republican party was founded on. His policies on immigration, national security, and tax reform have strengthened the country and put America first. In contrast, DeSantis has only been the governor of Florida for a short time, and his record on key issues are far from conservative.
These poll results should serve as a wake-up call for Republicans across the country – if they want to win in 2024, they need to unite behind Trump and his vision for America. The liberal media might try to paint him as a divisive figure, but the truth is that Trump is the only candidate who can bring the party together and lead us to victory.
