Ramaswamy's Aggressive Tactics Fail to Boost Poll Numbers

Despite a confrontational approach and strategic campaign moves, the Republican presidential hopeful struggles to gain traction.

• Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy is struggling to gain traction in the polls, remaining in single digits despite a thinning GOP primary pack.
• Ramaswamy has recently relocated most of his campaign staff from Ohio to New Hampshire and Iowa, and announced a $10 million ad buy in these states, in a strategic move to build momentum.
• Despite his confrontational rhetoric and attacks on Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, Ramaswamy's unfavorability rating has risen to 47% among potential GOP primary voters who watched the recent debate.
• Ramaswamy's campaign believes that his aggressive approach and shift in tactics will eventually translate to improvements in the polls.
• Critics argue that Ramaswamy has lost his outsider message and veered too far into academic discussions, alienating the conservative base.
