Within the churning ghoulash of Republican self promotion power-jockeying, there's little doubt that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is in prime position to fill the Trump-shaped void left by the former president who — despite insinuation to the contrary — seems perfectly content to lounge around his various estates, drinking pop and having his ass smooched by various tryhards and wannabes. But if, as is widely expected, DeSantis does take time off from actively harming his Floridian constituents to run for president himself in 2024, it seems he's going to quickly run into a major problem: the very people who elected him to the governor's mansion in the first place.
According to a just-released Quinnipiac University poll, nearly 60% of his home state voters are actively against DeSantis running for president in the next election — a significant rebuke for a man elected into office by the thinnest of possible margins just two years earlier.
