Horry likes Ted Cruz, straw polls show
It has been rewarding to join a group of dedicated S.C. grassroots conservatives. Recently a group of Horry County volunteers for Ted Cruz engaged in their first two events: the Aynor Harvest Hoedown and the Irish-Italian Festival. We proudly wore our red shirts declaring the same values as our favorite presidential candidate.
National polls have indicated that billionaire TV reality star Donald Trump is still leading. However, based on straw polls, Horry County residents who participated clearly indicated they preferred Ted Cruz over all other candidates.
Straw polls top 3:
Aynor Harvest Hoedown: Cruz 45.5%, Trump 20.8%, Carson 18.2%
Irish-Italian Festival: Cruz 46.1%, Trump 14.5%, Carson 10.5%
Current Straw Polls being conducted across the country are on track with ours showing Ted Cruz is gathering a lot of straw. A lot of straw can make a bale.
Cruz: brilliant, courageous, conservative, with outstanding leadership qualities to make America strong again.
