Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) leads President Joe Biden in a nationwide head-to-head matchup, a USA TODAY/Suffolk University survey released this week found.
When matched up against the popular Florida governor, who defeated Biden ally Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL) by roughly 1.5 million votes in the last election, Biden falls short.
In that scenario, DeSantis leads with 47 percent support, followed by Biden with 43 percent support. Further, 65 percent of Republicans and GOP-leaning voters want DeSantis to run for president.
