Iowa Republicans want out of Iraq. Will it affect the Iowa Straw Poll?

A recent poll by Strategic Vision showed that 54% of likely Iowa Republican Caucus goers want out of Iraq by November. Only 37% would like to stay.


What effects, if any, do you think this will have on the Iowa Straw Poll? That same poll showed that, despite the growing anti-Iraq War sentiment all but 14% of would still probably vote for a pro-war candidate. Anti-Iraq war candidate Ron Paul got only 2%. Is there a chance of Ron Paul placing higher at the poll in Ames after his online presence and debate performances have helped him gain more recognition since the May data from Strategic Vision?


It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Right now, Romney is still the clear favorite to win the Iowa Straw Poll.
