A week before the Iowa Caucus, northern Illinois conservatives picked Ted Cruz the winner in two straw polls this past Saturday. The polls were conducted in the Chicago area by Illinois Conservatives United and administered by Jan Shaw, a member of the West Suburban Patriots.
The first poll was done at the West Suburban Patriots' morning meeting, the second at the Walsh Freedom event Saturday evening.
Poll results from the West Suburban Patriot meeting Saturday morning:
While Ted Cruz was the winner, Donald Trump came in second in both polls. Those two combine for close to 80% of the votes. Marco Rubio, Ben Carson, and Rand Paul are in the top five, but not close to the two front runners.
From the second poll at the Walsh Freedom rally Saturday night:
The Iowa Caucus is Monday, February 1st, with a party to watch the results roll in is being held by Ted Cruz supporters at the Diplomat West Banquet Hall, 681 West North Avenue in Elmhurst, Illinois. It is a free event with cash bar but any contributions for Cruz for President are welcomed.
