Poll Shows Lead Change
January 28th, 2008 by flanewsWith the Florida primary on the horizon, recent poll results hail a new Republican frontrunner, while the leader is the same on the Democratic side. Quinnipiac University�s recent sample of likely Florida voters, shows Presidential hopefuls Senator John McCain and Mitt Romney in a virtual dead heat for first place among Republicans, 32 to 31 percent. Meanwhile Senator Hilary Clinton maintains a 20 point lead over Senator Barack Obama among Democrats, with 50 percent support.
�There�s no indication that despite Senator Obama�s lead and his win in South Carolina this weekend that it�s going to affect the race in terms of who�s going to win,� said Peter Brown with the Quinnipiac Polling Institute.
Brown also commented on how the Republican race to the White House is shaping up.
�You�ve got two tiers, we�ve got the 1st place race, and the 3rd place race, and the 1st place race is very, very close,�
Brown said don�t count on any comebacks. The poll also shows that supporters of McCain and Clinton are least likely to change their minds before tomorrow�s big showdown.
