NEW POLL: Trump's Endorsement in Florida Gov. Race Results in Massive Swing Towards Byron Donalds Over Casey DeSantis

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

72% : His loyalty has been rewarded by the president, scoring a prime seating location during the 2024 Republican National Convention right next to Trump and his family, as pictured above.
65% : Trump will also host a fundraiser for Donalds at Mar-a-Lago on May 1, with tickets to the general reception going for a minimum of $3,000 and a seat at dinner going for $50,000 per plate.
52% : And there's a lot of room to grow; currently, less than half of Republican Primary voters know Trump has endorsed the race, and Donalds hasn't yet advertised the President's support.
48% : DeSantis may have comfortably won his re-election bid in 2022, but for Florida Republican primary voters, Trump is still the north star.
47% : And, of course, this is all after Trump trounced DeSantis in the presidential primary, DeSantis balked at nominating Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump to the Senate seat vacated by Marco Rubio, and DeSantis was among the GOP governors exiled to an overflow room for TRump's inauguration while the tech billionaires got front row seats.
45% : Last month, Trump officially made the announcement that many expected was coming, posting on his Truth Social account that Donalds had his "Complete and Total Endorsement," even though the congressman did not officially launch his campaign until a few days later. DeSantis took a verbal swing at Donalds after the endorsement, bashing the congressman for being "in other states campaigning" and not deserving any credit for the "victories" in Florida.
44% : From Scheckner's report: But when pollsters informed voters that Trump had endorsed Donalds for Governor, Donalds' lead over DeSantis grew to 22 points, 45% to 23% -- a nearly 2-to-1 edge.
36% : It should perhaps be noted that Donalds' time in other states was campaigning for Trump -- Donalds was one of his most active surrogates -- and DeSantis' sniping came after the governor's reported outreach efforts to get Trump to endorse Casey DeSantis or at least keep his powder dry a bit longer were unsuccessful.
27% : "The only real questions are: Will they betray President Trump again?
23% : "Much like the DeSantises' fool's errand in 2024 against President Trump where he got crushed, this data shows that the DeSantises would suffer a similar fate in Florida if Casey should run for Governor," he said.
