Florida Gov. Ron Desantis has fallen to the one digits in New Hampshire — one of many three states his Marketing Campaign is primarily specializing in — the newest NHJournal/co-efficient ballot discovered.
The survey requested Republican main voters, “If the 2024 Republican main election for President of the US was held at this time, who would you vote for between these candidates,” itemizing many of the GOP presidential candidates.
Former President Donald Trump stays the highest canine within the Granite State, garnering 43 p.c of the vote within the subject. No different candidate comes remotely shut or breaks double digits. Each DeSantis and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie tie for second place with 9 p.c assist every. That is vital, because it exhibits that DeSantis — regardless of his marketing campaign’s newest efforts — is failing to resonate with Republican voters in New Hampshire, regardless of devoting vital time and sources to that state.
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is available in simply two factors behind with seven p.c assist, adopted by South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott (5 p.c), anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy (5 p.c), North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (4 p.c), and former Vice President Mike Pence (three p.c). One other 13 p.c stay undecided, and three p.c say, “any person else.”
The survey additionally discovered intense loyalty to Trump from seemingly New Hampshire GOP main voters, as most, 62 p.c, say they’d vote for him even when he had been convicted of a felony, and 57 p.c say they’d vote for him even when he had been “serving time in jail” on the day of the election.
The survey was taken August 5-7, 2023, amongst 862 seemingly Republican main voters and has a +/- 3.33 p.c margin of error. It comes one month after a leaked confidential memo during which the Desantis Marketing Campaign tried to reassure involved donors, laying out its technique to revamp the marketing campaign and enhance the governor’s standing within the polls. One of many key takeaways within the memo was the marketing campaign’s plan to focus primarily on Iowa, South Carolina, and New Hampshire.
The memo acknowledged partially:
Ron DeSantis is operating a marketing campaign to win all over the place. It might be a mistake to take a paid media and subject program off the desk in service of different states, we won’t cede New Hampshire. From what we will inform, pro-DeSantis efforts are presently and can proceed to run a strong effort in Iowa, South Carolina, and New Hampshire, that features paid media and subject.
Whereas Tremendous Tuesday is critically necessary, we won’t dedicate sources to Tremendous Tuesday that gradual our momentum in New Hampshire. We anticipate to revisit this funding within the Fall.
Since then, the DeSantis marketing campaign has laid off dozens of employees members and, most lately, changed marketing campaign supervisor Generra Peck with James Uthmeier because the governor continues to battle within the polls.
“He’s crashing badly,” Trump mentioned of DeSantis throughout an interview with Breitbart Information’s Matthew Boyle.
“He’s acquired no character,” Trump mentioned. “He simply has no character.”
