Organizers at the CPAC convention in Dallas, Texas announced Saturday that Trump won the presidential straw poll with 69 percent of the vote.\u00a0 This is reportedly a 10 percent jump from when conservatives voted in the Florida CPAC convention earlier this year. Trailing him with a large gap was Florida Governor Ron DeSantis with 24 percent of the vote. Sen.\u00a0<span class=\"person-popover multiline\" data-nid=\"18649\">Ted Cruz\u00a0<\/span>(R-Texas) came in third place with two percent, while other choices received one percent support or less.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Just 0.3% of CPAC goers say they would vote for Mike Pence in a 2024 presidential primary \u2014 and that number stays the same even when you ask the question without Trump as an option. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JUECpysC5z\">pic.twitter.com\/JUECpysC5z<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Natalie Allison (@natalie_allison) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/natalie_allison\/status\/1556031196693499904?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 6, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite DeSantis gaining attention as\u00a0a possible alternative\u00a0to Trump as the 2024 GOP nominee, Trump has consistently dominated CPAC\u2019s informal straw polls since he left office last year.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Former President Trump arrives at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CPAC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CPAC<\/a> to a roaring crowd.
