Ron DeSantis,\u2063 who came in second\u2063 among <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/no-requiring-id-to-vote-is-not-like-jim-crow\/\" title=\"No, Requiring ID To Vote Is Not Like Jim Crow\">prospective voters<\/a> in the poll. Both before and\u2064 after the \u2063debate, 14 percent of voters expressed their preference for DeSantis as their prospective GOP presidential pick.<\/p>\n<p>Businessman Vivek Ramaswamy secured the third position and experienced a one-point increase in support after the broadcast. Many perceived him as the winner of the debate due to the numerous attacks he faced from his rivals. While \u200c10 percent of respondents chose him before the debate, 11 percent favored Ramaswamy afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>Former Vice President Mike Pence&#8217;s support remained unchanged at 6 percent both before \u2062and after the debate. However, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who emerged as a strong critic of President Trump, gained one\u2063 point, going from 3 to 4 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Former South Carolina \u200bGovernor Nikki Haley \u2063and Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.)\u2064 also maintained their positions as favorites, with \u200d3 percent support from \u200dthe surveyed group at both times. However, another survey suggests that\u2063 Haley gained ground during the event among some GOP voters, particularly due to her clash with Ramaswamy on foreign policy.<\/p>\n<p>A survey by FiveThirtyEight\/The Washington Post\/Ipsos indicates that Haley&#8217;s prospective \u200csupport among likely Republican primary voters \u200cwho watched the debate increased by about 16\u2064 points, from \u2063around 30 percent to almost 47 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the debate had a positive impact on the \u2062prospects of Ramaswamy, DeSantis, Pence, Scott, Christie, North Dakota \u2062Governor Doug Burgum, and former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson. The only candidates\u200c whose numbers fell were President Trump and former Texas congressman Will Hurd, both of whom did not participate in the debate.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly,\u200d the analysis \u2063also suggests that a higher percentage of surveyed debate watchers are\u200b considering voting for DeSantis compared to\u200c President Trump. This may indicate a distinction \u200bbetween Republican debate watchers and the overall GOP electorate,\u200b which still overwhelmingly favors President Trump but may\u2062 be less enamored with the executive of the Sunshine State.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200ddebate and the concurrent \u200cTrump\/Tucker interview took place the day before President Trump surrendered\u200d at a jail \u200din Georgia after his fourth indictment. This event marked President Trump&#8217;s\u2063 return to Twitter\/X for the first time since early 2021, where he posted an image of his now-iconic mugshot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>recent poll conducted by Morning Consult revealed that despite not participating in the Milwaukee debate, former President Donald Trump&#8217;s popularity among Republican primary voters remains strong.
