Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is quickly gaining favor among Republican voters for his hardline stance on the conservative issues of border security, election integrity, religious freedom, and gun rights.

DeSantis won over former President Donald Trump in a straw poll for 2024 presidential candidates conducted by the Western Conservative Summit.

DeSantis led the poll with 74 percent of voters saying they preferred him as a presidential candidate over Trump at 71 percent.

The poll was held online using the approval voting method, where voters selected multiple responses to each question. Because voters were allowed to make more than one choice, the percentages of the poll add up to more than 100 percent.

The poll did not reveal whether an endorsement from DeSantis fangirl “Mock” of WIBC was a contributing factor in voters’ decision.

DeSantis’ victory in the straw poll comes after he received second place to Trump’s first place in the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) earlier this year.
