The Rise and Fall of Ron DeSantis

68% of GOP primary voters say the investigations into Trump are politically motivated and that they must support him in 2024 to stop his opponents from winning. 26% say the party should nominate someone other than Trump who isn't distracted by legal issues and can make defeating Joe Biden their sole focus. Overall, Trump is still the top choice of 46% of Republican voters. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is the second most popular option with 31%. All the other candidates, including former vice president Mike Pence, who has not announced a run for presidency yet, pull in single digits.
