Quote:

“The Republican race continues to remain highly volatile, with a new leader emerging” said Johnson. “John McCain who had fallen as far as fifth in earlier polls has rebounded and now leads. He draws heavily among Republicans who identify the war in Iraq as a major issue and among Republicans who consider themselves to be moderate. He polls strongly in North Florida and the I-4 Corridor. Huckabee polls very strongly among evangelical voters and his strongest areas of support are in Ocala and North Florida.

“Giuliani has fallen dramatically since our earlier polls and this is the first time that he has trailed,” continued Johnson. “He has lost significant support to McCain and leads only in South Florida. Also nearly a third of his supporters indicated that they may change their mind before the primary. However, a large portion of the Giuliani decline could be attributed to his early losses and in a volatile and chaotic race, his support may return particularly if McCain were to lose South Carolina.

“Romney has made significant gains despite his lackluster start and is polling very well in heavily Republican areas such as Sarasota, Ft. Myers, and Naples,” concluded Johnson. “He has also gained support at the expense of Thompson.”
