Rep. Michele Bachmann may have slipped a bit in polls of the Republican presidential candidates, but she just notched another win in a straw poll.
Fresh off her victory in the GOP poll conducted in Ames, Iowa, she won the Minnesota Republican Party's straw poll conducted during the run of the state fair.
During the fair, 7,731 people cast votes at the party's booth, with 2,300 giving the nod to the Sixth District congresswoman. Texas Gov. Rick Perry came in second, with 1,901 votes, followed by Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who received 1,181.
The poll, which was not scientific, was not binding -- just as the Ames poll wasn't.
