Angus Reid Global Monitor : Polls & Research
IA Caucus 2008 (R): Huckabee 29.9%, Romney 29.4%
January 01, 2008
(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Mike Huckabee is barely leading the United States presidential race among Republican Party supporters in Iowa, according to a review of the last four publicly released voting intention surveys. 29.9 per cent of decided voters in the Hawkeye State would back the former Arkansas governor in this week’s caucus.
Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney is a close second with 29.4 per cent, followed by Arizona senator John McCain with 12.8 per cent, actor and former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson with 12.2 per cent, Texas congressman Ron Paul with 7.8 per cent, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani with 6.9 per cent, and California congressman Duncan Hunter with 0.8 per cent.
Since 1976, the Iowa caucus has kicked off the process of finding presidential nominees for the two major political parties in the United States. The caucus differs from a presidential primary because the casting of ballots in favour of a particular candidate is preceded by a "gathering of neighbours" where specific platform issues are discussed.
In 2004, incumbent president George W. Bush won the Republican caucus unopposed.
The Republican Iowa caucus is scheduled for Jan. 3.
This ARGM Poll of Polls takes into account the choices of decided voters. It has been used in the past to assess the outcome of elections in the United States and South Korea.
