Republican primary voters moved away from Ron DeSantis and toward former President Donald Trump following the FBI raid on Mar-a-lago — to the tune of a ten-point swing. The raid on Trump’s Mar-a-lago resort home has dominated the news media this week, drawing sharp condemnation of Trump and his allies over the stream of invective and threats against the FBI that has followed. But a new Politico/Morning Consult poll taken just after the raid showed a significant bump for Trump among GOP primary voters. RON DESANTIS at 17% — down from 23% in the July poll. The poll showed that among all Americans, approval for the raid far outweighs disapproval.
