Trump Once Again Trounces DeSantis in New WSJ Poll

Trump secured 53 percent of support to DeSantis’ 38 percent, marking a dramatic reversal from a December poll that saw DeSantis ahead.

Former President Donald Trump looks to have regained the upper hand in his undeclared war against Ron DeSantis’ unannounced presidential campaign. According to a new poll from The Wall Street Journal, Trump now leads DeSantis by 13 points, commanding the support of a majority of Republican primary voters at 53 percent. No other candidate has been able to secure a strong base of support, with former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley in third place at just 5 percent and all others at 3 percent or below. The results mark a dramatic shift from a December poll that saw DeSantis beating Trump by 14 points, and the Florida governor has recently been hemorrhaging support from both the Florida congressional delegation and the Republican donor class.
