President Trump Leads Florida GOPe With 60% Before Miami Debate
By Sundance
The University of North Florida shows President Donald Trump with a solid 60% of the primary vote ahead of Wednesday’s debate among ‘first-loser’ candidates. The question consistently posed is why any Republican candidate would continue trying to undermine the clear leader of the Florida voter.
The answer is quite simple, the remaining field is not trying to win the GOP nomination, but rather to undermine, damage and work on behalf of their multinational donors to block Trump – no matter the consequence.
A new poll from the University of North Florida’s Public Opinion Research Lab asked likely Republican primary voters across Florida their preferences in the 2024 presidential primary. When given a list of possible candidates, 60% of respondents indicated a vote for Donald Trump, followed by 21% for Ron DeSantis in a distant second place.
Nikki Haley came in third with 6%, followed by Chris Christie with 2%, and Vivek Ramaswamy with 1%. The remaining candidates each received less than 1%. Eight percent of respondents said they do not know or refused to answer. For the full list of candidates in the answer choices, please see the survey cross tabulations.
When asked to choose between DeSantis and Trump in a hypothetical head-to-head race, 59% of respondents said they would vote for Trump, with 29% for DeSantis, and 12% who don’t know or refused. (read more)
Clearly, Florida voters continue to see through the charade represented by Ron DeSantis since his May announcement to enter the race. There is clear voter backlash in the state toward DeSantis that was not anticipated by the handlers of the Florida governor.
The backlash is related more to the Florida Republican base increasingly identifying the background motive of DeSantis that was visible long before he made his announcement. For DeSantis to be losing his own state by such a margin reflects the ability of the Florida voter to see through the astroturf and manipulation that was carried out as part of the operation.
President Trump has decided not to engage in the debate Wednesday; instead, he will be holding a rally in Hialeah. We can anticipate that Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis will be desperate to achieve the coveted first-loser position.
