Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' policy agenda, which includes new restrictions on abortion and further loosening gun laws, may help him win the 2024 Republican presidential nomination but could hurt his chances of actually being elected, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll. The data suggests that his positions on abortion and guns will likely help win support of Republican primary voters but may hurt him with independent and more moderate voters he would need to win.
