The Real Clear Politics average, which combines all the top polls, shows that DeSantis&#8217;s position has remained relatively stable since he announced his candidacy. In fact, he is now slightly closer to Trump in national polls.<\/p>\n<p>The only significant movement in the polls occurred when Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted the former president in late March, which rallied many Republican voters behind him.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It\u2019s a good indication of how much media is driven by desire for narratives and action that the coverage is so disconnected from the actual progression of the primary race.
