A new University of North Florida poll shows the state's First Lady Casey DeSantis drawing 24% support in a hypothetical Republican primary for governor — close to Rep. Byron Donalds' 28% — but her backing drops to 12% once voters are told that Donald Trump has endorsed Donalds.
The UNF Public Opinion Research Lab survey found that Trump's endorsement dramatically reshapes the race. After respondents were informed of Trump's backing, Donalds' support jumped to 47%, while DeSantis' fell by half.
