“The Republican race continues to be extremely close although at this point the momentum is with Mitt Romney and John McCain who is making a strong bid for third,” said David E. Johnson, CEO of Strategic Vision, LLC. “Romney has made significant gains among Christian females and is leading Huckabee among male voters which demonstrate that his relentless attacks on Huckabee are paying off. Further, Huckabee appears to have been hurt with recent events in Pakistan with more Republicans saying experience in foreign affairs and handling national security are a priority for them. The battle for first will be decided by turnout and the organization of the top candidates. On the organizational front, Romney would be favored. However, while Huckabee’s negatives among voters have increased dramatically so have Romney’s.”“The real battle is for third place,” continued Johnson. McCain is surging and is the first choice among voters who list national security or the war on terrorism as a top priority. If McCain were to finish third, it might be a bigger victory than a first place showing by either Romney or Huckabee as it would be so unexpected. McCain is the second choice of nearly 75% of the Giuliani supporters. Thompson is still in the fight for third but does not seem to be making a major impression among voters and was hurt with the renewed emphasis on Pakistan and the overall war on terror. Finally, the big question is whether Ron Paul might edge out Giuliani as his supporters are far more motivated than Giuliani’s and seem emotionally committed to their candidate while a majority of Giuliani’s also indicates they may switch their support to another candidate.”
