We can only hope that Ted Cruz keeps this 'lead' and is eventually chosen, via the Winger-primary process, to be the GOP presidential candidate in 2016.

Cruz the overwhelming favorite in conservative straw poll

By Andrew Rafferty, Staff Writer, NBC News

Though his approval rating may be slipping nationally, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz received an overwhelming nod of confidence from conservative activists on Saturday with a decisive victory in the Values Voter straw poll.

The Texas firebrand received a whopping 42 percent of the vote at the gathering of social conservatives, garnering more than triple the amount of support of second place finisher, 
conservative activists Dr. Ben Carson, who got 13 percent. Former presidential candidate Rick Santorum came in a close third, also receiving 13 percent of the vote. Sens. Rand Paul and Marco Rubio rounded out the top five, receiving six and five percent of support, respectively.
