Memorial Day Weekend is the unofficial “beginning” of summer and the day we honor our war dead. It is deeply meaningful, especially in the lead-up to choosing a commander-in-chief, so we thought it an excellent time to run our first 2024 pre-primary presidential poll.
The “turnout” was decent, with over 20,000 votes cast for one of the ten names on our list of Republican Primary hopefuls.
As I noted in a previous update, Chris Sununu took an early lead – dominating the first few hours and the first few thousand votes, but it would not last. Vivek Ramaswamy surpassed him by Saturday morning and never looked back. Trump held on to second place for a while but was eventually eclipsed by Ron DeSantis.
No one else broke one percent.
We want to thank everyone who participated during the holiday weekend. There will be future polls to compare to this one as the political season heats up with the summer. Until then, here are the final results from our Memorial Day Weekend Presidential primary poll*.
*This is not a scientific poll.
