DeSantis Wins 2024 Presidential Candidate Straw Poll Over Trump at Western Conservative Summit

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis won a 2024 presidential candidate straw poll over former President Donald Trump at a conservative conference held in Colorado on Saturday.
DeSantis took high marks for a potential presidential bid with 71 percent supporting his candidacy. Only 67 percent voted for a Trump presidency in the poll which allowed attendees to vote for multiple candidates, Fox News reported.
The poll was conducted at the Western Conservative Summit which was organized by an affiliate of Colorado Christian University known as the Centennial Institute. This marks the second year in a row that DeSantis received top marks in the 2024 straw poll. Last year’s attendees gave DeSantis a 74 percent presidential approval rating and Trump 71 percent.
