CONCORD, N.H. — Tim Pawlenty narrowly won a straw poll of New Hampshire tea partiers Friday, even as the sentiments of conservative activists gathered for a tax day rally here made clear that the grassroots constituency is very much up for grabs in the nation’s first primary state.
Pawlenty won just over 17 percent of votes cast by more than 300 people during the tea party rally at the New Hampshire statehouse, where Pawlenty, Rick Santorum, Herman Cain and Buddy Roemer all gave speeches. Cain finished a close second in the straw poll with over 16 percent of the vote, while Ron Paul, who did not attend, won third place with almost 13 percent of the vote. Donald Trump and Michele Bachmann finished fourth and fifth, respectively, ahead of Santorum. Roemer won last than one percent.
