It's still a long way until the first Republican primaries but unless something changes quickly, it is looking more and more grim for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and more and more secure for former President Donald Trump. The polls in the early primary states show that Trump is still polling at least 20 points higher than DeSantis, whose numbers continue to drop.
DeSantis appeared on Fox News' Maria Bartiromo's show this weekend and insisted that he's floundering because the news media doesn't want him to be the nominee, which isn't true at all. If anything they were champing at the bit for a real horse race against Trump because that would make for excellent copy. But it is reasonable to ask why DeSantis has been sinking in the polls over the last few months.
