Bachmann wins Republican Iowa straw poll
2011-08-14
[Al Jazeera] US Congresswoman and Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann has won the Iowa straw poll, in an early boost for her campaign for the White House.

Bachmann came out on top as expected after campaigning hard in the heartland state, with 28.5 per cent of the 16,892 votes cast in the early test for Republicans. Libertarian congressman Ron Paul came in a close second, followed by former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty in third.
Goodbye, Governor Pawlenty. Nice seeing you out here. Perhaps 2016 or 2020...
Saturday's result comes five months before Iowa holds the caucuses that kick off the Republican nomination season. It's the first indication of what Iowans think of the Republican presidential field and which candidate has the best get-out-the-vote organization.

Nine candidates were on the ballot.
