Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' presidential campaign is currently experiencing difficulties, with his popularity dwindling since December 2022 when he is believed to have peaked. A Wall Street Journal poll shows that DeSantis is trailing behind Donald Trump by double digits, and his core supporters are not pleased with past voting decisions to reduce Social Security. DeSantis is also struggling to gain support from Republican lawmakers, who consider him to be running from Florida rather than for President. DeSantis has a reputation for being overly reliant on campaign donations without particularly appealing to working-class Americans. Reports suggest that DeSantis' popularity is declining in New Hampshire, Georgia, and South Carolina. If he cannot secure a victory in Florida, where he currently lags in polls, it is doubtful that he will be successful in other areas. Trump has also cornered DeSantis on the issue of Social Security, which has alienated supporters of the former congressman.
