Two new polls from a top Republican polling firm — provided exclusively to Axios — find Florida Gov. DeSantis is running more competitively with former President Trump in Iowa and New Hampshire than he is faring in national surveys.
The surveys, conducted by Public Opinion Strategies from March 21 to 23 for an outside client found DeSantis leading Trump by eight points in a head-to-head matchup in Iowa and tied with Trump in New Hampshire.
In Iowa, his favorability/unfavorability rating was a sterling 81%-11%. Trump's was 74%-24%. Haley's fav/unfav stood at 60%-19%, and former Vice President Mike Pence's was 59%-35%.
