A new Suffolk University/USA Today Network poll of Florida, the powerful swing state that is crucial to any presidential nominee, shows Florida GOP Governor Ron DeSantis crushing President Joe Biden among Florida voters by eight points, 52%-44%. Biden secured the same 44% percentage in a prospective match-up with former President Trump, but Trump only garnered 47% in a much closer match-up.

Not only does DeSantis dominate Biden in the new poll, he also decisively defeats both the leading candidates for the Democratic gubernatorial slot; DeSantis leads former Florida governor Charlie Crist 49%-43% and Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Nikki Fried by a whopping 11 points, 51%-40%.

DeSantis’ huge lead over his Democrat opposition shows how popular he has become in what was once an evenly-divided state. In 2014, incumbent GOP governor Rick Scott faced off against Crist, who had been elected as a Republican in 2006 but then ran for the Senate in 2010 as an independent. Scott defeated Crist 48%-47% in the closest race of the 2014 gubernatorial election cycle.
