The latest Rasmussen Poll shows John McCain leading in California, and Rudy Giuliani barely in double digits:
John McCain has a seven point lead over Mitt Romney in California’s Republican Presidential Primary. The first Rasmussen Reports telephone poll of the race shows McCain earning 24% of the vote while Romney attracts 17%. More than ten points behind the leader are Mike Huckabee at 13%, Fred Thompson at 13%, and Rudy Giuliani at 11%.
However, as in other states, the voters in California are far from settled. Sixty-three percent (63%) of Romney’s supporters are certain they will vote for him. That’s a far higher level of commitment than any other candidate enjoys. Just 45% of McCain’s supporters are that “certain” along with 54% of those who support Thompson, 45% of Huckabee voters, and 36% of Giuliani fans.
Eleven percent (11%) of Romney supporters say there’s a good chance they could change their mind. Fifteen percent (15%) of Thompson’s supporters are that likely to switch. The numbers are even higher for other candidates—21% for McCain, 22% for Huckabee, and 22% for Giuliani.
Things aren’t looking good for the former Mayor of New York right about now.
