Texas Senator Ted Cruz had 2% with other potential candidates at 1% or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a separate question without Trump as a candidate in 2024, DeSantis was the overwhelming choice at 65%, followed by the former president\u2019s son, Donald Trump Jr., at 8%, Cruz at 6% and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at 5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it\u2019s unscientific, the poll released Saturday is an indication of sentiment among GOP activists and grass-roots voters. Republicans look to the poll results to gauge the standing of Trump and his potential rivals in 2024, especially DeSantis, who didn\u2019t attend the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Support for Trump was little changed from the 70% he received in the poll taken at the 2021 CPAC gathering in Dallas last July and was higher than the 59% in a CPAC straw poll in February at its event in Orlando.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump said he has already decided on whether to make another White House bid, and the only question remaining was when he would make the announcement &#8212; before or after the November midterm elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sources<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-08-06\/trump-once-again-dominates-cpac-2024-presidential-straw-poll?sref=TBDibEcD#xj4y7vzkg\" target=\"_blank\">Link<\/a>1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benzinga.com\/news\/22\/08\/28389948\/can-donald-trump-win-2024-presidential-election-heres-what-latest-straw-poll-and-betting-odds-say\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Link2<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DeSantis led field in poll of 2024 hopefuls without Trump Trump&rsquo;s support essentially the same<span class=\"more-button\"><a href=\"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/trump-once-again-dominates-cpac-2024-presidential-straw-poll\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Trump Once Again Dominates CPAC 2024 Presidential Straw Poll<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1233,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1231","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1231"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1231\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1232,"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1231\/revisions\/1232"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
