I thought that Chaim and most people here were supporting Huckabee.
but hes done videos switching to romney, chaim has stated that he feels huckabee is out of this race, when hes far from it....
I am 100 percent behind supporting romney in florida to stop mcpains momentum and end ruudy
BTW with still over 4/5 days and the debate, huckabee is now in third only 6 percent behind john mccaine....
and hes not even campaigning there....
Daily Presidential Tracking Poll
Thursday, January 24, 2008
Advertisment
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows little change in the race for the Republican Presidential Nomination. It’s John McCain 25%, Mitt Romney 21%, Mike Huckabee 19%, and Rudy Giuliani at 11% (see recent daily numbers). Ron Paul attracts 5% of Likely Republican Primary Voters. Rasmussen Markets data suggests that McCain and Romney are the clear frontrunners.
Daily tracking results are collected via nightly telephone surveys and reported on a four-day rolling average basis. The last two nights were the first since Fred Thompson dropped out of the race. Results for those two nights alone show McCain 27%, Romney 24%, Huckabee 21% and Giuliani 11%. These results are based upon a relatively small sample of 413 Likely Primary Voters and should be interpreted with great caution. The next Presidential Tracking Poll update is scheduled for Friday at 11:00 a.m.
Rasmussen Reports will release new polling on Florida’s Primary campaign at noon Eastern today. A Rasmussen Reports analysis earlier this week noted that McCain could become unstoppable with a victory in Florida. However, Rasmussen Markets data shows McCain is given a 47.7% chance of winning in the Sunshine State while Romney’s prospects are at 46.0%. Giuliani, who based his entire campaign on a high risk strategy of waiting to win in Florida, is seen as having a 7.1% of victory.
New polling data for Georgia’s Primary will be released at 6:00 p.m. Eastern.
In the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination, it’s now Hillary Clinton 42%, Barack Obama 30% and John Edwards 16% (see recent daily numbers). Obama has a large and growing lead in South Carolina as he and Clinton attract significantly different bases of support.

The Rasmussen Consumer Index fell to its lowest level in nearly five years this morning as the economy moves front and center in Election 2008. Just 10% of Americans currently believe the economy is getting better. That figure includes 13% of men and 6% of women.
A separate survey shows another complicating factor when it comes to the economy—most Republicans expect Congress to take steps that will harm the economy. Most Democrats expect legislative action will help.
Most Americans continue to believe that tax cuts are good for the economy.
Rasmussen Markets data gives Clinton a 69.0% chance of winning the Democratic nomination and Obama a 38.0% chance.
