Presidential candidate Ron DeSantis was pressed Thursday during a Fox News interview about his polling struggles and the emerging narrative, promoted by analysts on both sides, that he is “not connecting” with voters who should otherwise support his messages.
Fox News host Will Cain began by mentioning the fact that Steve Cortes, a top DeSantis PAC official, publicly acknowledged Sunday that the Florida governor’s campaign is looking at an “uphill battle.”
DeSantis currently trails Donald Trump by about 28 percent, according to FiveThirtyEight’s average of GOP primary polls, despite having been within a few percentage points of the former president in February.
