America: Indian-origin Vivek Ramaswamy has risen rapidly in the presidential race

Washington. Indian interest in the US presidential race may be on the rise as Indian-American Vivek Ramaswamy appears to be moving fast in the race for candidates within the Republican Party. A new survey has him tied for second place with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. DeSantis and Ramaswamy are tied at 10 percent each, according to an Emerson College survey. Former President Donald Trump leads with 56 percent approval. Emerson’s recent polling is seen as bad news for DeSantis.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ approval rating was 21 percent in June, down from 10 percent. On the other hand, Ramaswamy has now moved to the second position with 10 percent preference, up from just 2 percent earlier. According to a report by the American website ‘The Hill’, pollsters found support for DeSantis supporters weaker than for Ramaswamy. Almost half of Ramaswamy’s supporters said they would definitely vote for him. While only one-third of DeSantis supporters gave this assurance. Meanwhile more than 80 percent Trump Supporters said they would definitely vote for the former president.

Ramaswamy also supported the youth
The survey was released after a memo from a super PAC supporting DeSantis’ candidacy was leaked, The Hill reports. In a memo from this political committee called ‘Never Back Down’, DeSantis was asked to “crush” Ramaswamy. Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said in a release that Ramaswamy won the favor of voters with post-graduate degrees. He also has the support of 17 percent of that group and 16 percent of voters under the age of 35. At the same time, DeSantis’ support among post-graduate voters has fallen from 38 percent in June to just 14 percent, and only 15 percent of voters under 35 remain with him.
