A new poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire (UNH) has some startling news for Donald Trump: He's no longer the big dog on the block—at least in New Hampshire, CNN reported.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis takes 39% in a poll of the Republican presidential primary in New Hampshire, while Trump is at 37%. No other potential GOP contender manages double-digit support, with former Vice President Mike Pence in third place at 9%.

That's a MAJOR change from where the race was last fall. A UNH poll in October 2021 showed Trump with 43% to DeSantis' 18%.

And DeSantis has been, for a while now, acting less dependent on Trump.

Trump has been largely dismissive of DeSantis' prospects.

But DeSantis' strong showing in the polls coupled with the $112 million he has sitting in his gubernatorial campaign coffers suggests that circumstances have changed in the 2024 presidential race.
