Ron DeSantis Polls: DeSantis Ahead in Governor Election Polls

May 20, 2022

Ron DeSantis Polls: Ron DeSantis is predicted to be re-elected as Governor of Florida as per the latest polls.

National Level (Republicans): The polls show former President Donald Trump is ahead of DeSantis and he is well placed to be the 2024 Presidential candidate for the Republicans.

General election: If DeSantis is a candidate against Biden in 2024, he may defeat Biden as per the latest poll but against Kamala Harris as Democratic Party’s candidate, DeSantis may not be able to win the Presidential election.

The incumbent Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis is set to face a challenge to his current Governorship on November 8, 2022. DeSantis has been one of the most popular Republican leaders in the last few years and is expected to run for the 2024 Presidential Election if he is able to retain the Governor’s office in the upcoming election.

However, before the state votes to elect its new Governor on November 8th, Flordia will vote for the primary election scheduled on August 23rd, 2022.

The Republican field is not much crowded and De Santis is predicted to easily sail through. The Dems field has two candidates, Charlie Crist and Nikki Fried involved in a neck-to-neck fight. The latest polls for the Democratic Party primary race have Charlie Crist ahead of Nikki Fried but for the Governor election, scheduled for November 8th, DeSantis is ahead of both the Democratic Party’s candidates.

Here are the latest Ron DeSantis Polls with respect to the upcoming Florida Governor election:
