Politics and Christianity: Republican Leader Map

(Click On Map To Enlarge It)

The above map illustrates GOP presidential candidate leaders by state, as determined by election results and polls conducted within the last 45 days.

Changes since last published map. National: The lead in national polling has been flipping and flopping more frequently than Mitt Romney's policy positions and John McCain is now registering in the lead. Michigan: Just a few days ago, a poll conducted by Rossman Group/MIRS/Denno-Noor was showing a nice lead for Huckabee in Michigan, but the McCain surge has definitely hit here. However, Michigan is another of Romney's home states, and the Daily Kos is endorsing him so there will be some Democratic crossover for him. And, don't count out Huckabee yet as there is strong support for him coming from labor unions, homeschoolers, and evangelicals amongst others. South Carolina: Justs a few weeks ago Mike Huckabee had a seventeen point lead in South Carolina. Two polls released this week indicate that McCain has now moved into the lead. However, people on the ground in South Carolina are saying that the polls are registering soft support for McCain coming from current momentum and it is generally expected that Huckabee will resume his lead in South Carolina before the primary on January 19. Florida: Another Southern state unexpectedly caught by the momentum of the Straight Talk Express. Alabama: For some time now everyone has known that Fred Thompson had fallen by the wayside in Alabama and that Mike Huckabee was leading. The Capital Survey Research Center polling verifies this shift. California: Data for this state is a bit iffy. Everyone knows that the most recent public poll information is now obsolete. Perhaps the best gauge we have is an unreleased private poll conducted by a Democratic strategist. We have included the shift of California to McCain, but have reservations because it also shows the former leader, Rudy Giuliani, moving into fourth place in the Golden State.

State by state polling data: Documentation for state polls is organized by caucus and primary date.

Comment Policy

1. Speak the truth in love
Comments containing untruths and misrepresentations will be deleted unless we think it more important that they be corrected by dialogue with other readers of Politics and Christianity.

Truth is not always pretty, and attempts to clarify can sometimes be cutting (e.g. satire, irony, etc.). However, every attempt should be made to keep comments within the bounds of Christian civility.

2. Don't use words that your Momma wouldn't like
Comments with abusive, blasphemous, coarse, crude, dirty, disrespectful, filthy, foul, godless, impious, impure, indecent, irreverent, nasty, obscene, profane, raunchy, sacrilegious, smutty, or vulgar language will be deleted post-haste. Euphemisms and abbreviations of an ungodly nature are included in the preceding list.

3. Stay on-topic
What you are saying may be very interesting, but it will probably be deleted if it does not relate to the post on which it is appended.

4. No drive-bys
Comments that appear to be cut-and-paste propaganda, rather than attempts to dialogue, will be deleted.

5. Don't assume too much
Sometimes we will respond to your comment and other times we will not; so, (a) do not think we are uninterested in what you have to say if we do not respond, and (b) do not assume that we agree with someone just because we do not respond, -- we actively practice both Proverbs 26:4 and Proverbs 26:5.

6. Publish your ideas instead
If you have more than a few paragraphs to share on a topic, consider submitting it to the editors of Politics and Christianity for publication as a separate article, rather than as a comment. You can submit articles for consideration to editor@politicsandchristianity.com.

7. You retort, we decide
There is no board of arbitration on the issues cited above. The editors of Politics and Christianity are the final authority on what appears here.
