In Ames a $50 fundraiser drew over 2,000 attendees as six Republican hopefuls awaited straw poll outcomes. Ronald Reagan did not attend, while George Bush, Howard Baker, John Connally, Phil Crane and Robert Dole led the field in a poll used for momentum ahead of the Jan. 21 caucuses. Reagan reportedly led in another Des Moines Register poll with 40 percent.
