Perhaps it is his strong belief in his convictions that has probable voters backing Arizona Senator John McCain, even if his beliefs are contrary to their own. His movement upward in the New Hampshire polls are showing that many Republicans are looking more at McCain for standing up for what he believes is right instead for what he thinks the audience wants to hear at any particular gathering.
Recent polls at www.usaelectionpolls.com show McCain a distant fourth in New Hampshire with only 11 percent, but his recent endorsement by what is considered the state's most conservative Republican newspaper Union Leader endorsed McCain to win the January 8 primary, the first primary in the country, following the Iowa caucus. Being referred to in the endorsement as the most competent and trustworthy may have something to do with the improvement in his showing.
While still trailing front runners Mike Huckabee, Fred Thompson and Rudy Giuliani in New Hampshire, he holds a slim lead over Mitt Romney and is planning on increasing his campaign's work there. It remains doubtful to many political pundits that his remarks in Iowa about doing away with corn farmer subsidies will do much to help is fifth place position in that state, but they point out voters always know where he stands on any issue.
His more active presence in New Hampshire is designed to make him more visible to the voters, according to his campaign and potential voters can see his odds of defeating many of the Democrat leaders at polls showing one-on-one results at PresidentElectionPolls.com.
John McCain is currently polling the highest in the following states: New Hampshire (18.2%), California (18.0%), New York (15%), and Ohio (13%).
