[Mr. Morden]

Another poll that offers evidence that DeSantis-mentum is real.  There really isn’t much in the way of precedents for this kind of jump from 0-2% in every poll to mid-high teens in primary polls taking place in such a short time window *this* far out from the primaries that I can think of.  I mean, Scott Walker had a big jump into the teens in early 2015, but that was 1 year before the primary, not 3.

More usefully though, this poll gives us an idea of what DeSantis’s national name recognition is now, since it polls favorability among all voters:

Biden 52/43% for +9%
Harris 49/42% for +7%
DeSantis 23/23% for +/-0
Trump 39/55% for -16%
Cuomo 17/60% for -43%
