Tampa, Fla.– Former President Donald Trump dominated the 2024 GOP presidential nomination straw poll at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit Sunday, Fox News has learned.

TPUSA polled conference attendees—youth activists from around the country—who they would vote for in 2024 if Trump decided to launch another White House run. The straw poll was sponsored by Turning Point Action, the affiliated 501(c)(4) of TPUSA.

78.7% attendees said they would vote for Trump.

19% said they would vote for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, 1% said they’d vote for South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, 0.5% said they’d vote for former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo; 0.3% said they would vote for Sen. Ted Cruz, 0.3% said they’d vote for former Amb. Nikki Haley; and 0.3% said they’d vote for former Vice President Mike Pence.

Trump spoke at the conference Saturday night, hinting at a 2024 run. His speech was the keynote on the second day of the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit. Trump's speech followed one Friday night by DeSantis, who's considered along with Trump one of the foremost potential GOP 2024 contenders.

Teasing his own possible 2024 run, Trump said Saturday that he won the 2016 election, falsely claimed he won the 2020 election, and said, "now we may just have to do it again."

"If I stayed home, if I announced that I was not going to run for office, the persecution of Donald Trump would immediately stop," Trump also said later in the speech. "But that's what they want me to do. And you know what? There's no chance I do that."

Trump closed his speech saying that with President Biden's presidency, his reelection slogan of "keep America great," is now outdated. But, Trump said, "we will make America great again."

Bernie Sanders; 7.9% said Vice President Kamala Harris; 5.9% said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

73.8% of conference attendees said they are not confident that the Republican Party can communicate with younger voters, while 26.2% said they are.

Meanwhile, attendees were also polled on whether they thought "building a southern border wall" or "sending $56 billion to Ukraine" was more important.

98% of attendees said building a wall to secure the U.S. southern border is "more important."

How the hell would Newsome be difficult to beat? He's a fucking moron. That idiot's responsible for how shitty California is. You can't spin it any other way. There's no way in hell people in the center are going to vote for him, Trump running against him or not. I honestly can't see how anyone could vote for any Democrat given how much of a pickle we're in right now. It's not just Joe Biden's fault. The entire Democrat establishment did this to us, in the Fed and in the States.

Ron DeSantis would be my choice for Republican candidate, because he's basically Trump without all the drama. I see stuff on him every day since I get Jacksonville, Florida's channels. I like just about everything he's done. However if Trump does get the nomination, then I'll vote for him without reservation in the general, because his policies were the best this country has seen in a long time. The Democrats and the media can go eat a dick if they don't like it.

I would vote for Trump if he was the republican nominee, but I also think that if he runs, that is the one and only chance the democrats have of retaining the White House in 2024. Trump's negatives are far too high for him to overcome in the general election. Plus his whole "I won in 2020" has got to stop.

I didn't think the rest of the country thought he was any good. But, Nancy has a lot of pull

You're getting ahead of yourself. You better hope first that his lamebrained endorsements in Arizona; Pennsylvania and Georgia, among others, don't prevent the GOP from getting control of the Senate this Fall.

Off-topic quick query: If Herschel Walker takes Mariah Carey to dinner, it that a double-date?
