DES MOINES, Iowa (WOI) – More than 4,000 people voted in the Iowa State Fair Straw Poll this year. Historically, the poll has been a fairly good indicator of how races will look.
For the Democratic presidential candidates, former Vice President Joe Biden slipped past Mass. Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 17.7 percent to 17.2 percent. Biden won by just 10 votes.
Mayor of South Bend, Indiana Pete Buttigieg finished third with 14 percent, and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders came in fourth with 10 percent of the vote. There were 24 Democrats at the fair this year.
President Donald Trump had 46 percent of the overall vote. He had over 96% among Republican presidential candidates.

Wow Biden isn’t that hot, he barely won
Trump did extremely considering most republicans probably didn’t even bother to vote
i know where Iceland is, but where is Iowa.
Trump, of course, but Biden?
Don’t the people in Iowa care about his “touching” problem with children?
“Don’t the people in Iowa care about his “touching” problem with children?”
Not the Dems. They’d vote for Stalin if he was running against Trump.
The Dems hate Trump more than they love their children and grandchildren.
“There were 24 Democrats at the fair this year.”
I wonder if the writer meant 24 Dim presidential candidates at the fair, or a grand total of 24 rank and file Dims at the fair. Dims don’t like the fair? Too cheap to pay to get into the fair and only 24 Dims were able to sneak in without paying?
There were only 24 Rats with half a brain.
“There were 24 Democrats at the fair this year.”
I think he meant candidates. President Trump was not even there and got 46% of the vote. I think that is pretty good.
