In a CBS News poll, Trump has 61% of Republican support while DeSantis has just 18%. Nikki Haley has been winning and currently stands at 9% support.

Hannity told DeSantis, “Let me look at the polls and let me ask you the question.”
He continued: “Donald Trump has had a pretty big advantage against all the other candidates. And in many ways, when you would think that if a presidential candidate is indicted four times and tried four times, it seems to defy all the conventional political gravity that every time that happens, the poll numbers go up. How do you explain that?”

DeSantis said he believed Trump’s criminal records were helping him with voters.
“I think when that Alvin Bragg The case went down, it was so transparently ridiculous to go back seven or eight years,” DeSantis said referring to Trump’s criminal case in New York for alleged hush money payments.

He continued: “Clearly this would not have been brought for non-political reasons. And so I think he got a lot of sympathy as a result of that in particular. Maybe some of the others as well.”

DeSantis held out hope, telling Hannity that many voters were still undecided.
“There are a lot of people who haven’t made a final decision,” he said.
For his part, Trump has continued to attack DeSantis.
Earlier this month, he took to his social media platform Social Truth to criticize Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds for endorsing DeSantis this week.
He said, “Why would anyone support Ron DeSanctimonious, who is like a wounded bird falling from the sky? His poll numbers are terrible, he is totally against ethanol, and he fought to destroy Social Security and Medicare. Well, “the nation’s most unpopular” governor, Kim Reynolds of Iowa, just endorsed it. What’s all this about?”
