Both \u2062before\u2062 and after the \u2064debate, 14 percent \u2063of \u200bvoters expressed their preference for DeSantis as their prospective\u200c GOP presidential pick.<\/p>\n<p>Businessman Vivek Ramaswamy secured the third position and experienced \u2062a one-point increase \u200din support\u200c after the\u2063 broadcast.

However, \u2063another survey suggests that\u2063 Haley gained ground \u2064during the event among \u2064some GOP voters, particularly due to her clash with\u200d Ramaswamy on\u2062 foreign \u2064policy.<\/p>\n<p>A survey by FiveThirtyEight\/The \u2062Washington Post\/Ipsos indicates that Haley&#8217;s prospective \u200dsupport among likely Republican\u200b primary voters who watched \u2062the\u200b debate increased by\u2063 about 16 points, from around\u2063 30 percent to\u2062 almost 47 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the \u200bdebate\u200b had a positive impact on\u200b the prospects of Ramaswamy, DeSantis, Pence, Scott, Christie, North Dakota Governor\u200c Doug Burgum, and\u2063 former \u2063Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson. The only \u200ccandidates whose\u2063 numbers fell were President Trump \u2063and former Texas congressman Will Hurd, both\u2063 of whom did not participate in the debate.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the analysis also suggests that\u2064 a higher percentage of\u200b surveyed debate watchers are considering \u2063voting for DeSantis rather\u200c than \u2063President Trump. This\u2064 may indicate \u200ca distinction between \u200bRepublican\u200c debate watchers and the overall GOP electorate, which\u2063 still overwhelmingly favors President Trump but may \u200dbe less enamored with the executive of the Sunshine State.<\/p>\n<p>The debate and the \u2063concurrent Trump\/Tucker interview took place the day \u200dbefore President Trump surrendered\u2064 at a jail in Georgia after his fourth indictment.
