The survey of 1,520 U.S. adults, which was conducted from May 25-30, suggests that DeSantis may have actually lost ground against frontrunner and former President Donald Trump since officially entering the race for the 2024 GOP nomination.
None of the remaining candidates — former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley , Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson , South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott , tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy or radio host Larry Elder — clear the 5% threshold.
It’s worth noting that while the margin of error for the full Yahoo News/YouGov survey is 2.7%, smaller subsets of respondents — like potential Republican primary voters — always have a larger margin of error to account for random irregularity in the numbers. The swing toward Trump and away from DeSantis technically teeters right on the edge of this margin of error .
One reason may be the unconventional nature of DeSantis’s rollout. The governor’s problem is not that potential Republican primary voters have turned against him in droves because the audio cut out on Twitter Spaces or because he used DeSantis’s favorable rating among potential GOP primary voters is also lower than Trump’s . Trump’s relentless attacks against DeSantis may have taken a toll.
