We all know Polls are in essence useless, but they can be entertaining.    

Oh, and Trump is somewhere 45 plus points above both.

DeSantis campaign announces $8.2M fund-raising haul in first 24 hours

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) raked in $8.2 million in the 24 hours following his announcement that he's running for president in 2024, his campaign announced Thursday.

Why it matters: The vast amount establishes DeSantis as the main challenger to 2024 Republican presidential rival former President Trump.

It's more than President Biden raised in the same period in 2019 when he kicked off his 2020 campaign. And Trump brought in some $9.5 million in the six weeks following his 2024 announcement, per the New York Times, which first reported news of DeSantis' fund-raising haul.

"A super PAC supporting Mr. DeSantis is planning for a $200 million budget but campaign funds are far harder to raise because they face a strict donation cap," the NYT notes.
Between the lines: Beating Republican presidential frontrunner Trump in the GOP primary would be a Herculean task.

But the Florida governor's allies are laying the groundwork for a campaign that matches the massive scale of his challenge, with the pro-DeSantis super PAC Never Back Down counting on over 2,600 field organizers by Labor Day, Axios' Zachary Basu notes.

The big picture: DeSantis' campaign got off to a glitchy start on Wednesday as his official launch on Twitter Spaces was plagued by technical issues. DeSantis told Fox News later that night it "did break the Twitter Spaces," but "we're really excited with the enthusiasm."

His press secretary Bryan Griffin tweeted Wednesday night that the DeSantis campaign had raised $1 million "in one hour... and counting!"
Griffin tweeted on Thursday night: "$8.2 million in the first 24 hours. Our Great American Comeback!"

You do realize some of the richest commies in the world support the Uniparty, Right?

If anything? This exposes his campaign for what it really is.

Try using some Critical Thought for a change!

My guess is that it's people who know Trump can't win and want to support a Republican candidate that can win.

Biden's approval rating is below 35. Want to guess again?

Biden was crap from day 1.  Most people will still take him over Trump.

Even more so this time around. He's lost a lot of independents.

Was the election stolen?

Do you realize his approval ratings are at an all time high??? Just to be clear, that means he has GAINED support.

Prove it. Show us one article, one poll, or just what the hell, one of anything that shows Biden winning.

Hot off the press Rantingly poll

THE RESULTS...

Trump – 69.66%   3,589

DeSantis – 24.01%   1,237

Ramaswamy – 3.45%   178

Scott – 1.59%   82

Other – 0.89%   46

Haley – 0.39%   20

Polls can be taken or left. But when they ALL have the numbers in common I tend to give the results more credibility. Even all of you orange man bad people have to admit, 70% is a pretty high number.

proof is 81 million votes and the fact that people like Kari Lake lost to the one person who's probably more brain-dead than Biden.  Independent/undecided Voters come out in big numbers against Trump and his candidates.

Guess you're not keeping up with the little story about voter fraud. Pity.

So, try again, show one poll, article, showing Biden would win. While you're at it, explain how someone with a 35 voter approval can beat someone who is polling the best he has ever.

So they're polling democrats now too?
