BC and AD – Straw Poll Surprise at the Concord Tea Party

by Mike

1) Before Cain: A paper poll run at the Concord Tax Day Tea party listed all the known contenders, and collected 300 ballots, about half of which were in before the keynote speeches had been heard, and thus largely reflective of pre-existing preferences:

17% Pawlenty
16% Cain
13% Paul
–% Trump / Bachmann
–% Santorum and Others…
<1% Roemer
(“–” signifies ranking reported, but not exact percentage)

2) After Domination: A text message poll run by AFP to rate the most effective speaker of the four candidates present received 975 responses and showed a striking jump:

62% Cain
17% Pawlenty
14% Santorum
  7% Roemer
