Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley are set to square off in yet another race-for-second-place debate next week that will be hosted by CNN, but don't count on it to provide any substantive discussion to better inform voters as they prepare to head to the polls.

The most recent Fox News national poll, in which the former president is leading Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) by 57 points and Haley by 60, shows that no one has discovered the formula yet.
TRUMP POLLS SHOT UPWARD AFTER INDICTMENTS STARTED. Sometimes the poll numbers for former President Donald Trump look downright crazy. Over the weekend, Fox News released a new national survey that showed Trump leading the Republican presidential race with 69% support, as opposed to 12% for Ron DeSantis and 9% for Nikki Haley.
