2024 Kickoff: Launching the first monthly Hot Air/Townhall Straw Poll

The players have all taken the field.

The campaigns have begun tooling up.

And it’s time to start taking the temperature of the smartest, most engaged readership as the Republican Party approaches the first of several presidential-nomination debates.

Welcome to the launch of our first monthly Hot Air/Townhall Media straw poll! Readers here and at all of our sister sites will have an opportunity to cast votes each month for the candidate who best captures your imagination and attention for the 2024 nomination. Our audiences reflect the most active segment of the conservative/Republican primary base, and your choices will drive the eventual selection of a nominee to take back the White House — before Joe Biden and the extreme Left inflict even more damage.

Not only will the Hot Air/Townhall Media straw poll allow you to express your choice, it keeps us all informed as to the preferences of the Hot Air community and the larger Townhall Media audience. Plus, together we will build a metric that will demonstrate how the race changes and adapts, and get a reliable look at the measure of each candidate in the race.

Cast your vote at this link to make your voice heard in the tally. Each reader will have an opportunity to vote once every 30 days, so we can get a clear idea how our readership lines up in the primaries. Enter your e-mail address and you will receive the in-progress straw poll results directly, and also get the overall results immediately after the vote closes each month. We will get separate results for the overall vote and for the Hot Air readership, and we’ll open those for discussion among our VIP and VIP Gold members in the comments sections.

And this would be a very good time to join our membership! Our members give us the financial support to remain independent of Big Tech platforms, to offer features such as our 2024 Straw Polls, and independent journalism from reporters like Julio Rosas. It also allows us to offer members-only features like The Amiable Skeptics with Adam Baldwin, Off the Beaten Path, The Week in Review, columns from Duane Patterson and Tom Jackson, plus VIP content from all the writers at Hot Air.
