I'm wary of polls indicating DeSantis in the ascendant, as they tend to be representative of the general populace while the elites that gatekeep the primary process are not. The second is that it's asking the wrong question in a lot of ways. A lot of people, especially non-elites, may have a more favorable view of DeSantis, but his political utility will be the critical question for the purposes at issue. A readymade rabid fan base of Trump cultists is a lot easier to predict and profitably use than a loose coalition of generic conservatives.
