The poll, which gathered data from 600 Republican primary voters in August, showed that 59% of surveyed voters support Mr. Trump. The former president now holds a 46-point lead over Mr. DeSantis, who garnered support from only 13% of the surveyed voters. The April poll was much more favorable for Mr. DeSantis, with 37% of surveyed voters throwing their support behind the governor. Though lagging, Mr. DeSantis has consistently polled in second place behind Mr. Trump. Mr. DeSantis slid much more dramatically, dropping to 70% favorability rating compared to an 84% rating just months ago.
