DeSantis tumbled to fifth place with just seven percent of likely Republican primary voters supporting him.
Breitbart News notes, "DeSantis and Haley have, in essence, traded places when this poll is compared to earlier surveys taken by other polling outfits in the summer and the spring. For example, a University of New Hampshire poll conducted July 13-17 found DeSantis at 23 percent in New Hampshire and Haley at five percent."
"Similarly, DeSantis held 19 percent of backing to Haley’s five percent in a St. Anselm College poll conducted from June 21-23. In March, St. Anselm had DeSantis at 29 percent, WMUR noted at the time."
DeSantis was once considered to be the frontrunner to challenge Trump, but support quickly fizzled after his campaign announcement.
