failing–presidential primary campaign.A New York Times/Siena College poll released this week found DeSantis trailing GOP frontrunner Donald Trump by almost 40 points, with just 17% support compared to Trump’s commanding 54%.Per NYT:The poll shows that some of Mr.
DeSantis’s central campaign arguments — that he is more electable than Mr. Trump, and that he would govern more effectively — have so far failed to break through.
Even Republicans motivated by the type of issues that have fueled Mr. DeSantis’s rise, such as fighting “radical woke ideology,” favored the former president……Below those lopsided top-line figures were other ominous signs for Mr.
DeSantis. He performed his weakest among some of the Republican Party’s biggest and most influential constituencies. He earned only 9 percent support among voters at least 65 years old and 13 percent of those without a college degree.
