Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has fallen to fifth place in New Hampshire in the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, according to a new poll.
DeSantis, 44, received 10% support from Granite State voters in a CNN/University of New Hampshire poll released Wednesday, putting him behind former President Donald Trump, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley in primary initial primary condition.
Florida’s Republican governor, who early in his campaign appeared to be positioning himself as Trump’s main challenger for the GOP presidential nomination, has dropped 13 points since July in the same New Hampshire poll.
Trump, 77, topped the statewide poll with 39%, followed by Ramaswamy, 38, who received 13%, Haley, 51, who earned 12% and Christie, 61, who garnered 11% support in a survey of more than 2,000 New Hampshire residents conducted between Sept 14 and Sept 18.

Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), at 6%, former Vice President Mike Pence, at 2%, and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and former Rep. Texas’ Will Hurd, at 1% apiece, trailed five other candidates.
The poll suggests that DeSantis’ decline is likely the result of significant gains made by Ramaswamy among young voters and unregistered Republicans, as well as increased support for Haley among moderates and those with more formal education.
Christie, who is launching his 2024 campaign in the Granite State, is receiving growing support from independents and Democrats who say they plan to vote in the GOP primary, according to the poll.
Support for Trump has been largely unchanged since the July poll.

The survey comes ahead of next week’s second GOP presidential debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California, where DeSantis, Ramaswamy, Pence, Haley, Scott and Christie have qualified to take the stage.
Trump plans to skip the forum, as he did last month, and host a campaign event in Detroit with auto workers.
Nationally, a recent Quinnipiac poll found that Trump leads DeSantis among GOP voters by a margin of 62% to 12%.
The DeSantis campaign did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.
