The federal indictment on Friday against Donald Trump did not diminish his popularity this weekend at the 14th Annual Western Conservative Summit.
The former president captured the weekend straw poll of presidential candidates with 40.3% support, compared to 35.8% for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, the winner of the conservative confab’s 2021 and 2022 straw polls.
Mr. Trump won the straw poll, but Mr. DeSantis edged him by 66.9% to 63.4% on the approval-vote question, which allows participants to check the names of all the candidates of whom they approve for a particular office. President Biden received less than 1% approval, which was no surprise at the conservative gathering. But Democratic presidential primary candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did unexpectedly well, with 14.4% approval.
