From Ed: The latest HotAir/Townhall Media Poll results have come in, and once again, Hot Air readers have given Ron DeSantis an edge over former president Donald Trump. The difference is only slightly over two percentage points (47.03/44.86), which is basically a virtual tie. Nikki Haley only gets 6.49% of the straw-poll vote among our readers, which is her best score in any of the THM sites.

However, Trump leads on all of our sister sites and has a nearly 22-point margin overall (57.27/35.43). Haley only scores 4.41%, and Vivek Ramaswamy barely edges into the results at all at 1.71%. Ramaswamy actually edges Haley for third place among PJ Media readers, where Ramaswamy has his best support … at 3.68%. Trump does best among Townhall readers (61.23%), and his second-worst result comes at Twitchy, where Trump leads DeSantis 55.08/41.53.

We have a week to go before the Iowa caucuses and two weeks until New Hampshire’s primary. I’ll have more results specific to those contests. Click the link to join the straw poll!
