66% : Among his other priorities: allowing people to carry guns in public without a permit; weakening laws protecting journalists from lawsuits; and cracking down on illegal immigration, including a plan to eliminate in-state tuition for college students in the country illegally.
47% : And he is often at odds with the press, refusing even to notify local media of last week's rare three-state tour with law enforcement.
45% : Trump was largely ignored throughout the weekend retreat, although conservative commentator Ann Coulter seized on his failure to build a wall spanning the entire U.S.-Mexico border during a Saturday panel discussion with DeSantis on border security, according to one person in the room.
44% : Last week, he made surprise stops in New York City, Philadelphia and Chicago to court law enforcement leaders, although the events were private and he did not notify local media.
18% : South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem's team has criticized DeSantis' record on abortion as insufficiently conservative.
