Mitt Romney Has Much to Prove in Upcoming Months

Mitt Romney made significant gains in the polls over the past 6 months and has elevated himself into the top tier of candidates. But as USAElectionPolls.com points out, the coming months are going to test Romney's candidacy.

Mitt Romney has gone from averaging 8%  to 20% in Iowa since January and averaging 13% to 27% during the same timeframe in New Hampshire. Romney has clearly excelled in the early states.

Romney is also slowly moving up in the national polls according to the Mitt Romney 2008 polls stat sheet.

As USAElectionPolls.com clearly points out, Republicans generally elect the front runner. And in this case, it is Rudy Giuliani. McCain and Patrick Buchanan have recently won New Hampshire in past election seasons but still lost the eventual nomination to the frontrunner Bush and Dole respectively. Mitt Romney has been using his money wisely and is advertising across the country. Focusing on Iowa and New Hampshire alone will not get it done with so many states stacked up in early February.

Doing well nationally is not the last of Romney's concerns says the web site. Mike Huckabee and Fred Thompson will both take away traditional conservative votes away from Romney says the web site. "The traditional conservatives unwilling to support pro-choice candidates Rudy Giuliani and John McCain will likely band together in support of the next highest candidate that is the most likely to win the nomination and all signs currently point to Fred Thompson as their best choice." Mike Huckabee is gaining in Iowa with as much as 5% in the latest poll, up from the gutter and the Romeny campaign has to compete against them.
