Donald Trump Leads Republican Presidential Candidates at Will County Fair

What's more country than glass Ball jars and kernels of corn?  Using those kernels and jars to poll the crowd at the county fair. 

Will County Republicans set up a "corn poll" for Republican Presidential Primary at their booth at the Will County Fair.  Donald Trump had the most votes of any single candidate at around 5:30 p.m. on Saturday.  However, it appears the kernels distributed to jars other than Trump's might come close to the total of kernels in Trump's jar.
