DeSantis tops Trump in 2024 presidential straw poll
By Tal Axelrod - 06/21/21
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) ran narrowly ahead of former President Trump in a straw poll of potential 2024 candidates in a survey conducted over the weekend at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver.
Of attendees who responded to the survey, 74.12 percent said they would approve of DeSantis for president in three years, compared with 71.43 percent who said the same of Trump. DeSantis won 275 votes, while Trump got 265.
The duo had wide leads over the rest of the sprawling field, with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) coming in third at 42.86 percent approval.
DeSantis leads Trump by narrow margin in straw poll
The poll underscores DeSantis’s popularity with the GOP’s conservative base.
Still, Trump would be a juggernaut if he ran for president in three years and would likely clear much of the primary field.
Neither DeSantis nor Trump has officially declared intentions for 2024, but the former president has teased a third bid for president.
“I'm absolutely enthused. I look forward to doing an announcement at the right time,” he said last month. “As you know, it's very early. But I think people are going to be very, very happy when I make a certain announcement.”
