Ron Paul Wins CPAC Straw Poll, Sarah Palin is Third With 7 Percent
Posted: 02/20/10
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) ran away with the presidential straw poll at the Conservative Political Action Conference Saturday, with 31 percent of the vote. Paul's libertarian conservative message has made him a hero to small- government Republicans for years, but this is the first CPAC straw poll he has ever won.
Paul's victory came as a surprise to supporters of Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, who has won the straw poll at this event for the last four years. Romney was second this year, with 22 percent.
Another surprise came with Sarah Palin's third-place finish, with 7 percent of the vote. Palin is a favorite of the conservative base, but was one of the few Republicans included in the straw poll ballot who did not attend or speak to the conference.
CPAC's straw poll is an unscientific, voluntary poll, but it has served as a barometer of support for possible Republican presidential candidates among their all-important conservative base.
Here are the full results:
Rep. Ron Paul- 31 percent
Mitt Romney- 22 percent
Sarah Palin- 7 percent.
Gov. Tim Pawlenty - 6 percent
Rep. Mike Pence- 5 percent
Mike Huckabee- 4 percent
Newt Gingrich- 4 percent
Gov. Mitch Daniels- 2 percent
Rick Santorum- 2 percent
Sen. John Thune- 2 percent
Gov. Hayley Barbour- 1 percent.
