Quote:
Romney has picked up two points since the previous Rasmussen Reports poll conducted on Sunday night. McCain has gained three points and Giuliani just one. In between the two polls, former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson dropped out of the race leaving the major candidates scrambling for his support.In Florida, 67% of Giuliani’s supporters are certain they will vote for him. Sixty-five percent (65%) of Romney’s voters are that “certain” along with 62% of McCain’s fans. In earlier primaries, the race has eventually settled down to a two-person race with support dropping off for other candidates. Giuliani could lose support if that happens in Florida.
The economy is the top issue, named by 46% of Florida’s Republican Primary Voters as most important. National security was named by 15%, immigration by 14%, and the War in Iraq by 11%.
However, 53% said it’s more important to select a President who can handle national security issues. Forty percent (40%) put a priority on selecting someone who could handle economic issues.
