It should be noted that this poll does not necessarily indicate who Republicans will support in the election, especially one that won’t take place for nearly four years. Romney also won last year’s CPAC straw poll, yet John McCain beat him out during the Republican primaries in 2008. But at a time when Republicans find themselves out of power in both the White House and Congress for the first time in 16 years, it provides an indication of where conservatives are looking for someone to lead them out of the political wilderness.
