Former President Donald Trump is still the most popular candidate for the Republican Party’s 2024 presidential nomination, according to a CPAC straw poll, with 55 percent of respondents saying they would vote for him in a hypothetical primary.
The poll, conducted at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) from Feb. 25 to 28, pitted Trump against 20 other potential GOP primary candidates, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem. The results demonstrate that the former president still holds a solid grip on the party, with DeSantis trailing well behind at 21 percent and Noem in third place with 4 percent.
