Donald Trump is right about the statement on Truth Social. Fox wants in on the ratings boost. They will cover his rally today. They need all the boosts they can get after ditching Tucker Carlson.

Cable ratings for Friday come in Monday, but Friday is usually a dead day. On Thursday, FOX won but with weak numbers, nothing like they used to get. For example, Tucker used to get over 3,000,000 in the 8 pm timeslot. The slot only landed 1,394,000 on Thursday.

Whereas Tucker usually got over 400,000 in the demo, it now gets a pathetic 157,000.

A YouGov/Yahoo News poll conducted among 451 registered voters from May 5 to 8 showed Trump leading DeSantis with 50 percent support to the governor’s 36 percent in a head-to-head match-up. That poll is of too few, and. it’s too early to know, but we’ll take it for now.

When other Republican candidates were included, Trump led with 48 percent support to DeSantis’ 28 percent, while several others recorded support in the single digits.

It was a similar picture in a Morning Consult poll conducted among 3,574 registered voters from May 5 to 7 which found Trump with 60 percent support to DeSantis’ 19 percent and others recording support in single digits.

When asked about a hypothetical Biden-DeSantis matchup, 45 percent of respondents said they’ll support Biden, as 42 percent of those surveyed cast their support for DeSantis.

This weekend, DeSantis, who hasn’t announced yet, is holding a competing event to Donald Trump’s in Iowa.

Donald Trump noted he’s 30 points ahead in Iowa, but that’s his personal pollsters numbers.
