In addition to representation from all remaining Republican candidates, the Party welcomed Dr. Ben Carson to speak at his first large-scale event following the final debate before Super Tuesday. The evening, emceed by Williamson County’s own Congressman Marsha Blackburn, featured live entertainment and informational speeches from four campaigns.
At the conclusion of the event WCRP Chairman Julie Hannah said the following: “Williamson County and its residents act as a strong indicator of Tennessee’s overall pulse for the upcoming Republican Presidential Preference Primary on Super Tuesday, and we are so pleased to be able to provide a verifiable result of what is this election season’s largest straw poll in Tennessee.” Chairman Hannah continued, “The difference tonight between first and third was only 3.22%, a sign of the closeness in the electorate for the hundreds of thousands of ballots still to be cast, and the work left to be done by campaigns.”
Texas Senator Ted Cruz finished first with 29.3% of the vote. Florida Senator Marco Rubio finished second with 28.76% and New York businessman Donald Trump finished third with 26.08%. The second question on the poll asked who the second choice for attendees would be—Senator Rubio lead the way with 20.97%. Senator Cruz was second with 20.7% and Donald Trump was third with 18.55%.
Chairman Hannah said, “We were honored to host Dr. Ben Carson tonight during such a pivotal time in the campaign, and are thankful to all the candidates for providing representation at the event—educating voters and increasing turnout in the primary this upcoming Tuesday is our overarching goal, and we feel confident in saying that our event tonight made strides at accomplishing that.”
