In a recent Morning Consult survey, it appears that the tide is turning for anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy. The majority of potential Republican primary voters now view him favorably, signaling a significant shift in public opinion.
Let’s dive into the details and see how Ramaswamy stacks up against other prominent candidates in the race.
Trump Still Holds Strong:
Former President Donald Trump continues to enjoy unwavering support from his base. An overwhelming 73 percent of respondents view him favorably, making him the clear frontrunner in the Republican primary race. However, there’s a slight chink in his armor as 25 percent now report an unfavorable view of Trump, suggesting a potential crack in his popularity.

DeSantis Slips, but Remains Favorable:
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who has gained significant attention in recent months, sees a minor dip in favorability. Despite this, he still maintains a strong base of support, with 64 percent viewing him favorably. Only 21 percent hold an unfavorable view of him, indicating that DeSantis remains a viable contender.
Ramaswamy Surges Ahead:
The real star of this survey is Vivek Ramaswamy. Initially facing a lack of name recognition, Ramaswamy has skyrocketed in popularity. Last week, 49 percent viewed him favorably, but in a stunning turn of events, he has now surpassed the majority threshold. A remarkable 53 percent of potential GOP primary voters have a favorable view of Ramaswamy, establishing him as a serious player in the race.
Pence’s Mixed Reception:
Former Vice President Mike Pence finds himself in a peculiar position. While 54 percent still hold a favorable view of him, a significant 35 percent report an unfavorable opinion. This suggests a level of divisiveness within the Republican voter base regarding Pence’s candidacy.

Christie’s Unpopularity:
Among the candidates surveyed, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie appears to be facing an uphill battle. A staggering 43 percent have an unfavorable view of him, while only 29 percent view him favorably. It seems that Christie has some work to do to win over skeptical Republican voters.
Lack of Name Recognition:
The survey highlights a common struggle among certain candidates: a lack of name recognition. North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and former Texas Representative Will Hurd are relatively unknown to a significant portion of potential GOP primary voters. 58 percent of respondents claim they have never even heard of these candidates, making it an uphill battle for them to gain traction.
Conclusion:
These survey results reveal a shifting landscape within the Republican primary race. While Trump remains the dominant figure, Vivek Ramaswamy’s surge in popularity has caught many by surprise. It’s clear that the race is far from over, and with candidates like DeSantis, Pence, and Christie facing varying levels of favorability, the battle for the Republican nomination is heating up.
