DeSantis struggles to win over Republican voters amidst Trump rivalry.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has a "lovability" problem among Republican voters, with his strongly favorable ratings dropping while Donald Trump's have increased, according to recent polls. While DeSantis' overall favorability ratings among Republicans remain mostly unchanged, his satisfaction score has decreased among non-college graduates. DeSantis' strategy of attacking Trump may not be effective, as Republican voters overall love Trump. DeSantis could make the electability argument, but polling is mixed on whether Republicans care about that. With time till voting begins, DeSantis may be able to flip the script by reminding Republican voters what they loved about him in the first place.
