Gov. Ron DeSantis‘ 2024 case is predicated on being able to beat Joe Biden, but one new poll – seemingly an outlier — pours cold water on that theory.

A survey of likely voters conducted Wednesday by Redfield and Wilton Strategies shows the Democratic incumbent 14 points ahead of the Florida Governor in a hypothetical General Election, 47% to 33%.

Lest readers believe that’s just a strong poll for Democrats, former President Donald Trump closes the gap to a dead heat, trailing Biden 44% to 43%.

One major issue for DeSantis in this poll is that Trump voters don’t trust him. The Florida Governor is taking just 62% of the MAGA crowd, with 14% saying they would vote for Biden over him. Biden commands 82% of those who voted for him in 2020, meanwhile, with DeSantis driving just 5% crossover conversion.

The Redfield and Wilton poll shows a different narrative than the Harvard/Harris survey released Friday, which suggests Biden and DeSantis are knotted at 42%. While it’s just one poll, it offers a counter to the narrative DeSantis is telling donors.

2. This is a poll out of London.

At the link they say nothing about their methodologies. It gives Biden a 40% approval rating and says Biden has a 1 point lead over Trump.

3. So, this then Poses an important, challenging question to Democrats:

Should Democrats re-register as Republicans so they can vote for DeSantis in the primaries?
