Trump's Poll Numbers Are Hitting ROCK BOTTOM

According to multiple new polls, Donald Trump is absolutely hemorrhaging support among the Republican Party. While he is still the number 1 pick for most Republicans in a 2024 primary, he is losing ground quickly - 5 points in the past month, to be exact. To make things worse, state-by-state polling shows Florida governor Ron DeSantis gaining on him - and actually BEATING him in Florida by nearly double digits. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains why this is happening.

As legal troubles continue to Mount for Donald Trump. And I, I think we all know how bad things are going for him. His poll numbers are now cratering, according to a new poll, a new poll, by the way, from morning console, Politico came out yesterday, found that Donald Trump's support in a hypothetical Republican primary for 2024 has fallen five points in the last month. Now don't worry because he still has a majority support of Republicans in that hypothetical primary matchup. But he went from 57% support in August to 52% support in September, a five point drop. Now the closest person to him is Ron DeSantis at 19%. So Trump would have to lose a lot more support before he's really in any trouble. However, we're seeing this trend take place. His disapproval rating is just about as high as it ever was. His approval rating is just about as low as it ever was.

Support among Republicans is falling. He still has a majority support, but it is falling. So this is important. It's also important to note that this poll was conducted prior to the New York attorney General's announcement this week prior to the special master that Donald Trump picked himself, telling him, if you can't prove you declassified these documents, then I'm done. And also prior to Eugene, Carol announcing the that she will be filing a sexual battery lawsuit against the former president. So before a lot of his legal problems, or at least before his legal problems got worse, he was already losing support. So I imagine if we were to retake this poll next week, these numbers are gonna be even worse and don't worry. People will take these polls again next week. They're probably already working on them today because that's what pollsters do. And we're gonna find out just how bad these investigations and scandals are hurting Trump. But another poll came out this week, a USA, uh, today Suffolk county poll. And it shows that in the state of Florida, which is a valuable swing state, it's a valuable state for the Republican primary too. Donald Trump is now losing to Ron DeSantis by almost eight full points. Those numbers show that 48% of full order, Republican voters surveyed support DeSantis in the hypothetical matchup compared to a little over 40%, 40 point, you know, some odd points who support Donald Trump. Trump led DeSantis in the January USA today, Suffolk poll 47 to 40%. So in Florida earlier this year, Trump was at 47. DeSantis was at 40. Now it's

Basically flipped DeSantis at 48. Trump hovering around 40. So it's flipped Florida Republicans say we want DeSantis to win this state. And if that poll holds Trump may not have a path to the Republican nomination in 2024, assuming he's not in jail and can still run for president, which technically you can run for president from jail. I just don't think that would be very successful, but there is a caveat to this Florida poll. You know how I always tell you, you know, one thing we learned, uh, studying political science, never trust a poll with a margin of error greater than 3%, right? You wanna know what the margin of error is for this poll. It's honest to God, it's the worst I've ever seen. 7.4% margin of error, 7.4%. They pulled 174 Republicans in Florida to come up with these BS numbers. So this poll is absolutely a farce.
