Chris Christie is 3rd…..
Another New Hampshire poll shows Florida’s Governor struggling with voters in the first-in-the-nation Primary state.
In an Insider Advantage poll of 850 likely GOP presidential Primary voters conducted Wednesday, Ron DeSantis is in fourth place, with 8% support. This puts him behind Donald Trump (42%), Nikki Haley (14%), and Chris Christie(10%).
Perhaps the only silver lining, DeSantis is ahead of Vivek Ramaswamyand Tim Scott, with 5% support each. North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, at 4%, is the only other candidate with more than 1% support.
“After polling this race both nationally and in various states, it is becoming ironically clear that the 45th president has roughly a forty-five percent floor in this overall contest. In many surveys, his numbers go way beyond that floor, indicating the daunting task those trying to replace him as the GOP nominee face. Trump’s greatest problem among likely voters is with White men over the age of 65. We have seen this in numerous surveys, and it certainly runs contrary to conventional wisdom. Ironically, men supply Nikki Haley with more support than do female respondents. Women support Trump in larger numbers than do male voters,” claimed pollster Matt Towery.
“Regardless, the battle for number two appears tepid at the moment. Trump’s endless barrage of attacks on Ron DeSantis has taken its toll, as DeSantis has fallen into single digits. None of the second-tier candidates appear to have a foundation upon which to build larger numbers as of now,” Towery added…..
