Club straw poll was conducted Saturday, with Ted Cruz declared the front-runner.

Poll officials said 200 people cast their vote at the monthly meeting. Cruz received 29.5 percent of the club's votes, with Donald Trump in second place with 27 percent.

The ballot contained the names of all the Republican candidates who qualified to run in Alabama, although some have since suspended their campaigns.

The outcome Saturday is slightly different than the national polls that place Trump ahead of Cruz.

The full results of the straw poll are as follows:

* Ted Cruz - 29.5 percent (59 votes)
* Donald Trump - 27 percent (54 votes)
* Marco Rubio - 14.5 percent ( 29 votes)
* Ben Carson - 11.5 percent (23 votes)
* John Kasich - 8 percent (16 votes)
* Jeb Bush - 5 percent (10 votes)
* Uncommitted - 3.5 percent (7 votes)
* Chris Christie - 0.5 percent (1 vote)
* Carly Fiorina - 0.5 percent (1 vote)

Alabama's primary elections are Tuesday, March 1.

Wow. Congratulations on finding a poll that shows Donald Trump not in first place.

That’s a rare gem.

Trump should just quit now.

Only 11.3% of precincts reporting? Doesn’t sound like a final total to me.

HAHAHAHAHA!

[knarf]

So many "reports" with so little evidence

I'm a Trumpster, but calling it for Trump with 1.9% in ?

[nascarnation]

It’s all based on exit polls.
Which typically are pretty accurate.

It’s closer to 20% reporting in at the moment.

Thanks for the results. We had our own straw poll in Muscogee County, Georgia, during our meeting to select delegates for the county convention. If memory serves:

Cruz            39 votes 60%
Trump            9 votes 14%
Carson           6 votes  9%
Rubio            6 votes  9%
Kasich           2 votes  3%
John Ellis Bush  1 vote   1.5%
Undecided        1 vote   1.5%

Trump will find it harder in states that actually vote republican/conservative, than in states that let liberals and democrats vote in republican primary.

And in relevant news, Donald Trump wins SC by a huge margin over Ted Cruz. NBC calling all Congressional Districts for Trump.

I'm a Cruzer, but Trump has the quality of showing pretty uniform strength in all segments. When there's a big comeback, it is usually because some big city with a different demographic is slow (or holding back) vote totals.

Congratulations on a solid win, Trumpsters. On to Nevada and SEC Tuesday.

With about 10% of the votes in?

[VitacoreVision]

States like South Carolina?

D. Trump 34.1%
T. Cruz 21.6%
M. Rubio 21.5%
J. Bush 8.5%

[Carry me back]

Did the states you speak about vote for McCain, Romney, Bush ? Trump is rolling.

[KittenClaws]

So what?

Trump has won 2 states our of how many?

Bueller? Bueller?

[usafa92]

30% now ans its looking a lot like NH. Only question is if Rubio ekes out 2nd. I actually hope Ted comes in 2nd though.

[KittenClaws]

I don’t know, did YOU vote for McCain, Romney, or Bush?

Wel, did ya?
