DeSantis, who announced his presidential bid late last month, comes in 15 points behind with 24 percent support. That represents a tightening race, as Trump led by 18 points in last month’s survey — 44 percent to the governor’s 26 percent support.
Rather, the biggest positive change in the survey came for Sen. Tim Scott, who saw a four point increase in the survey, jumping from one percent support last month to five percent this month. He now has more support than both former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and former Vice President Mike Pence, who have four percent each.
Further, the survey showed the number of undecided voters increasing, going from 15 percent to 21 percent — a six point increase.A fundamental issue for Governor DeSantis is that those voters who are favorable to him are splitting their vote between DeSantis and Trump. Among those who have a favorable opinion of both candidates, Trump holds a 16-point lead. Also, Trump holds an 8-point lead among voters who have been visited by the DeSantis campaign.
Trump also has a three-point edge among Republicans who believe Trump has the best chance of beating Biden. That is down from the six-point advantage he had last month as well.
