Ron Paul 28% and Bachmann 29%. Go Ron Paul. Bachmann wins Ames straw poll; Ron Paul takes second By Michael O'Brien - 08/13/11 06:49 PM ET Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) emerged victorious Saturday in an influential straw poll of Republican voters in Ames, Iowa, cementing her status as the early frontrunner for February's caucuses in the state. Bachmann leaned on her Iowa roots and Tea Party credentials to secure victory at the straw poll, eclipsing Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) for the top spot in results. Bachmann won with about 29 percent of the vote — 4,823 votes out of a total of 16,892 ballots cast. Paul placed a close second, at about 28 percent, and Pawlenty came in a more distant third at about 14 percent.
