Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis trails far behind with 13 percent, marking a significant shift from April when Trump led by 24 points, securing 48 percent support to DeSantis’s 24 percent.
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley follows with eight percent support, followed by businessman Vivek Ramaswamy (five percent), former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (three percent), former Vice President Mike Pence (two percent), and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott (two percent).
Other candidates received one percent support or less.
Interestingly, 53 percent of GOP primary voters express unwavering commitment to their choice, while 47 percent remain open to reconsidering their options.
Trump has maintained his criticism of DeSantis on social media, seizing the opportunity over the weekend to comment on DeSantis’s decline in the polls.
Trump remarked, “Wow! Ron DeSanctimonious has seen a Polling CRASH like no other. People have gotten to know him. Also, really bad Social Security votes, and would decimate Medicare. That doesn’t play well in America!”
Former President Donald Trump hasn’t spared criticism for President Joe Biden either.
Trump highlighted the numerous “Indictments and lawsuits” that the “Crooked Joe Biden Campaign” has launched against him.
Trump asserted that Republicans are already contemplating their response to Biden and the “Communists” when their opportunity arises.
He expressed concern about what he sees as a shift in the political campaign landscape.
Trupm described it as a “whole new Banana Republic way of thinking” characterized by cheap and dirty tactics, cautioning, “Be careful what you wish for!”
