Walker is leading with 17 first votes, followed by Carson (10), Paul (10), Huckabee (9), Bush (9)

Appears they hate Trump, Graham, and Pataki

My early fav Jindal has some ground to make up if he declares. I will say I'm starting to take a long look at Rubio

Bachman won the Iowa straw poll in 2012. These early polls don't mean much in a place like Iowa until late this year.

Also if you look at combined, he is tied for 5th. What that means is he has a devoted following, but not much broad appeal. He polls well with Republicans when it comes to likability, but the fact that few want him as their second choice shows most Republicans realize a doctor without experience is a bad idea.

Rubio (in second combined) is the opposite. Not a real following but broad appeal.

Walker is a joke.

Walker is the Republican Obama. He will change his stances to go with the popular opinion. He has little conviction.

That and he's a little too corporately inclined for my liking, a reason I dislike Hillary as well.
