Straw polls were held in the crucial early states of Iowa and South Carolina in the Republican 2016 Presidential primary. The Ames, Iowa straw poll was sponsored by And They're Off! and won by Andrew Merrilin while the South Carolina straw poll was sponsored by the Warren Institute and won by Vincent Halfhyde.

Iowa
Background
AA Alvera, Valeria Smith and Joseph Salazar-Portela appeared at the event to address the straw poll participants. None of the front runners attended, reducing the credibility of the event. Senator Salazar-Portela was considered to have made the best speech of the day, but was unable to convert that into support.
Soon after the straw poll was held, runner up Terry Hughes withdrew from the race and resigned from the Senate.
