New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie ran a close second with 13 percent. Dr. Ben Carson, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum tied at 11 percent. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal got 9 percent, followed by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at 8 percent. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz got 4 percent, and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Rep. Paul Ryan and former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton tied at 3 percent.

New Hampshire is a key state along the early presidential primary trail, and many of the potential candidates polled Saturday have already made Granite State pilgrimages ahead of the 2016 primaries.

Jindal, Santorum and Bolton all spoke at the NRLC, held Friday and Saturday.

The survey included responses from 223 attendees at the conference, 60 percent of whom are New Hampshire residents. Of the poll participants, 43 percent identified as very conservative; 39 percent said theyre somewhat conservative and 17 percent identified as moderate.

This is the second poll victory for Paul in as many weeks: the Kentucky senator won the straw poll at the Conservative Political Action Conference, held in National Harbor, Md., last Saturday. He won that straw poll with 31 percent of the vote, 20 points higher than any other candidate.

Sen. Rand Paul wins second straw poll

Peering into their political crystal ball, US conservatives gathering at their annual conference have chosen Republican Senator Rand Paul as their top pick for president in 2016.

It marks the second straight year that the libertarian-leaning Paul, son of former congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul, won the straw poll at the Conservative Action Political Conference, or CPAC.

Paul led the field of 23 candidates and won with 31 per cent of the vote, easily defeating another firebrand Tea Party-backed lawmaker, Senator Ted Cruz, who finished second with 11 per cent.

Ben Carson, a neurosurgeon who has emerged as a powerful conservative voice in recent years, finished third, while Chris Christie, the New Jersey governor saddled with a political scandal, came in fourth.

'I am grateful for all the attendees who stood with me,' Paul said in a statement, referring to the 'Stand with Rand' movement that sprouted up one year ago after he gave a 13-hour speech on the Senate floor to oppose President Barack Obama's use of drones to target extremists.

'The fight for liberty continues,' Paul said.

The vote is watched closely, not necessarily as a prediction of exactly who will emerge as the Republican candidate, but as a barometer of how the party's core conservatives see those who might end up on the ballot.
