Ron\u2064 DeSantis (R-FL) \u2062has seen a significant drop in support in the\u2063 battleground state of New Hampshire. According to\u200b a \u2063recent \u2063CNN-University of \u200bNew Hampshire survey, DeSantis now finds himself\u200b in \u200cfifth place, with entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy \u2064taking \u200bover the second place spot.<\/p>\n<p>Once considered a formidable rival to\u200d former President Donald Trump, DeSantis now \u200donly garners 10% of support from likely Republican primary voters in New Hampshire. In contrast, Trump remains the \u2064leader of the GOP field with a commanding 39% support.<\/p>\n<h3>A Shift in the Political Landscape<\/h3>\n<p>This latest poll\u2063 reveals a stark decline in DeSantis&#8217; popularity since July, when he\u200d was neck-and-neck with Trump at 23% support, compared to the former president&#8217;s 37%.<\/p>\n<p>The current \u200bfrontrunners ahead of DeSantis include Ramaswamy in second place with 13%, former\u2064 U.N. Ambassador\u200d Nikki Haley with \u200c12%, and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie with 11%. Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) trails\u200d behind at 6%, while former Vice President Mike Pence lags far behind \u200cwith only\u2064 2% support. Other GOP contenders barely register above 1%.<\/p>\n<p>Ramaswamy, a political \u2062newcomer, has\u2063 been making waves as a top-polling presidential candidate,\u200d consistently placing second \u200cin national surveys.

Candidates invest considerable time\u200d and effort in campaigning early and frequently in this first-in-the-nation primary state.<\/p>\n<p>In a move that has stirred controversy, the Democratic National Committee has sought to change its nominating calendar in 2024, potentially disrupting \u2063the contest date in New Hampshire by prioritizing South Carolina. However, Secretary of State David Scanlan has vowed to fight \u200cto maintain the state law that ensures New Hampshire retains its status as the\u2063 first primary state.<\/p>\n<p>The full survey \u200dwas conducted among 2,107 New Hampshire adults, with a sampling error of plus or\u200c minus 2.1%. The results from 845 probable GOP primary voters \u200dhad an error\u200b margin\u2063 of plus or minus 3.4%. CNN\u2062 acknowledges that the margin of error may be \u2063larger for\u200c subgroups.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What factors have \u200dcontributed to the rise of\u2064 Vivek Ramaswamy in the survey<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u2063N comparison, Ramaswamy has attracted 18%\u2062 of support, a considerable jump considering he was relatively unknown\u2062 in \u2063the political sphere prior to this survey. This shift in support reveals not only a decline in \u2062DeSantis&#8217; popularity but also an opening for other candidates to gain traction in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-battle-for-control-of-missouris-redistricting-map\/\" title=\"Republicans Battle for Control of Missouri\u2019s Redistricting Map\">upcoming primary elections<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The decline\u2063 in support for DeSantis can be attributed\u200c to various \u200dfactors. Firstly, his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in Florida has come under heavy scrutiny. While initially praised for his response, DeSantis has faced backlash\u200d for his resistance to imposing strict\u200b measures, such as mask mandates and lockdowns, to curb the spread of \u2063the virus. This \u2064has led to a surge in COVID-19 cases and fatalities in the state, \u200cwhich has undoubtedly affected his standing among\u200d voters.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, DeSantis&#8217; close alignment \u200dwith former \u200bPresident Trump, who remains a polarizing figure for many Americans, has \u200calso had an impact on his support. Though Trump continues to hold strong influence within the Republican Party, his controversial actions and statements have created division among conservatives. This has\u2063 resulted in some \u2062<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-border-policy-pitting-him-against-nyc-could-alter-local-elections\/\" title=\"Biden's border policy may impact NYC elections.\">voters seeking alternative candidates<\/a> who distance themselves from the Trump era, such as Ramaswamy.<\/p>\n<p>The rise of Vivek Ramaswamy in the survey is noteworthy. As a successful entrepreneur and political \u200doutsider, Ramaswamy offers a fresh perspective and presents himself as a viable alternative\u200c to both DeSantis and Trump-aligned candidates. His ability to resonate with New Hampshire voters by\u2063 focusing on economic growth, technological innovation, and a more inclusive approach has clearly \u200dstruck a chord.<\/p>\n<p>While these survey results reflect a decline in support for DeSantis in New Hampshire, it is important to note \u200bthat \u2062this is \u2063just one state. DeSantis still maintains a strong base of support in his home state of Florida and may regain momentum in other primary contests. Additionally, the political landscape is often subject to rapid changes, \u200cand it remains \u2062to be seen if Ramaswamy\u2064 can\u2062 maintain his newfound popularity or if other candidates will emerge as strong contenders.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the CNN-University of New Hampshire survey sends a clear message that the political climate is shifting, \u2064and candidates need to adapt to changing voter preferences. It serves as a wake-up call for DeSantis to \u2062address the concerns surrounding his handling of the pandemic and to differentiate himself from Trump&#8217;s controversial legacy. For Ramaswamy, this survey provides validation and \u200ban opportunity to build on his momentum, actively engaging with voters and \u2063further solidifying his platform.<\/p>\n<p>As the primary \u2063elections draw\u2064 nearer, it is crucial for all\u200b candidates to closely monitor voter sentiment and \u2062respond accordingly. The support for DeSantis in New Hampshire serves as\u200d a reminder that no candidate \u200bis exempt from scrutiny or immune to the changing dynamics of the political \u200clandscape. And as for Ramaswamy, this survey offers a glimmer of hope and a chance to prove that he is a viable contender in the race for the Republican nomination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
