FiveThirtyEight and the Washington Post sponsored the poll after the first Republican 2024 Presidential debate….
Ramaswamy comes up good in other reviews…
DeSantis does not…..
The Washington Post, FiveThirtyEight and Ipsos conducted a poll before and after last night’s debate with potential Republican primary and caucus voters, including those who watched the debate.
And they thought Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis came out on top Wednesday night, with 29 percent of Republican voters who watched the debate saying he performed best. He was nearly matched by former pharmaceutical executive Vivek Ramaswamy, with 26 percent saying he performed best. The findings may be surprising because DeSantis generally stayed above the fray in a raucous debate, though Ramaswamy received and delivered lots of barbs….
…
Ramaswamy enjoyed a 10-point increase in the share of GOP debate watchers who have a favorable opinion of him, bringing him to 60 percent, but he saw an even larger increase in the share who say they have an unfavorable opinion of him, up 19 points to 32 percent.
DeSantis, meanwhile, did not see a significant shift in his favorable ratings post-debate….

Of course Republicans like Ramaswamy.
He brazenly Lied about climate change.
Quotes have emerged from last year when he expressed concern about the topic that last night he said was a “hoax.”
He has them “conservative values.”
Number one of which is the ability to LIE and make the adherents of that trash “philosophy “ believe him.
He believes in nothing .
Conservatism is bunk.
jamesb says
He ALSO sounds that he lives in Trump’s alternate universe…..
Ghost of SE says
Disagree. DeSantis failed to leave an impression. He is done. So is Christie, though he never had a shot.
Trump, Ramaswamy, maybe Haley. Some people seem to think RFK Jr might switch to the GOP Primary, so he’d vault to…not top tier(that’s Trump and only Trump), but definitely upper-middle tier and tied at worst with Ramaswamy.
jamesb says
Christie isn’t running to win…..
It’s his ‘Revenge’ campaign…..
When this is all over?
He WILL come out looking better….

I don’t know who “some people “ are(you?).
I repeat the Republican Party will not nominate a Hindu on their national ticket.
Keith says
Of course Jack is correct. This event was an audition to be Donald Trump’s running mate. Trump isn’t putting a loud mouth Hindu on the ticket with him. He’s the only loud mouth allowed.
Our host ridiculously once said January 6th is in the rear view mirror, but Wednesday’s debate is the event that is actually in the rear view mirror. The mug shot drives the news cycle.
jamesb says
Hey Keith?
I don’t see much of a Jan. 6 mentioned anywhere.
The trouble now for Trump & Co IS Georgia….
But U keep the Federal case alive here…
Next u’ll be fronting the Miami case?
Keith says
Hey James?
I suggest you open your eyes and put down those endless meaningless poll numbers for a moment
January 6th and the Republican conspiracy to overthrow a legitimately elected government is at the bottom of countless indictment counts. Over 80 people have gone to jail, some for decades.
January 6th is proof positive that Republicans care about only two things, being in charge and tax cuts for the Uber wealthy.
This is simply another example of you typing something that comes into your head, not realizing how wrong it sounds, and then doubling down with utter bullshit to deflect from your own stubborn crazy.
You, like others here, thought that the whole “overthrow Democracy” thing didn’t amount to much in the end. Why even today, Rudy is being investigated for his role in the fake elector conspiracy and, of course, that directly refers to January 6th. He can go to jail in two states and then federal prison. “America’s Mayor” so popular, so busted.
But, you don’t hear much about it. That begs the question, what dumb asses are you talking too??
jamesb says
Actually OVER 1,000 have been arrested Keith…..
BUT?
The media STILL embraces the daily Trump march into the toilet….
The Jan. 6 Fed case has been overrun by the Georgia case….
Yes the fake elector point is actually the focus of both Georgia and Wash cases….
But it runs below the surface as the base….
Not the Daily main Point people see….
That IS my view and I’m stcking to it right now…..
jamesb says
My eyes ARE wide open….
Though I do get tired of the daily rehash of Trump’s fuck-ups….
jamesb says
Donald Trump needs to NOT get a second term…..
PERIOD….
I’m SURE the System will make sure of that…..
Keith says
You’re deflecting again from your own obsessive stupidity James. You wrote something that was laughably wrong and you cannot, for your own stubborn reasons, admit was wrong because you’re James.
January 6th was one of the darkest days for our democracy since the civil war and you dismissed it as being in “the rear view mirror” and it is anything but that.
And now you are trying to change the subject again by injecting irrelevant topics into the conversation because you don’t have the necessary tools to support your idiotic original statement. That happens a lot in your conversations with Jack.
jamesb says
I am not defecting…..
I am giving MY read that acknowledges the base from which the arrests are coming from but are NOT headlines or daily narrative…..
Actually?
Just Trump HIMSELF IS….
jamesb says
Who thinks Vevik has a chance?
Nobody seriously
