DeSantis Tries to Reshape Race with Leaked Polls

“Ron DeSantis’ supporters were thrilled last week when a poll emerged following the first primary debate showing him bouncing up 7 points in the critical first caucus state of Iowa,” Politico reports.

“The debate, they argued, had given the Florida governor the type of bump he needed to revive a sagging presidential campaign.”

“Left largely unsaid: The poll had been commissioned by a nonprofit that had hired DeSantis’ own polling firm.”
