California gay rights activist Fred Karger won a straw poll of potential presidential candidates at St. Anselm College Thursday night.

Karger, who was the only potential candidate to address the group, has made college campuses a central part of his budding campaign so far.

Karger received 79 votes out of 322 ballots cast for 16 candidates. Finishing a close second with 74 votes was former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. From there the drop off to third place was significant. New York businessman Donald Trump received 26 votes.
