Donald Trump wins this week's GOP Straw Poll in Delaware.



This week the Sussex County Republican Party held its Presidential Primary “straw poll” at the GOP Headquarters in Georgetown. While the turn-out was moderate, the results were very interesting.



Donald Trump won the poll with 72-percent of the vote; coming in second was Ted Cruz with 21- percent of the vote, followed by John Kasich with 7-percent.



The format and names on the Straw Poll ballots duplicated that of the sample ballot provided by the State Election Office in Georgetown. They included the names of Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, and Marco Rubio, but no one voted for those candidates.



County GOP Chairman Billy Carroll says he's very pleased by the enthusiasm and interest shown by the voters; he says Republicans are eager for the primary on April 26 and are ready to support the GOP candidate in November.
