The Rockingham County Republican Committee had a booth at the Deerfield Fair and took the opportunity to take a straw poll. Neither the national media nor the establishment Republicans will like the results. The not-a-politician candidates dominated, corralling 69% of the vote. Trump lead the poll with 39%, followed by Carson with 29% and Fiorina with 11%. Ted Cruz collected 9%, Rubio 6%, and Rand Paul 4%.
The NHGOP establishment darling (prefered candidate of the SunuGnome and company), John Kasich, got 4% and Jeb Bush 3%.

From the RCRC: Ballots were counted twice. Corrections verified. No attempt made to have only NH voters (very busy most days). One person, one vote allowed (stamped hand). Raw ballots available for review. One ballot used for initial count. Fourteen ballots unaccounted for – we believe people took them for the names. There were no ballots left after 9:30 am Sunday.
