Iowans largely undecided on Republican candidates

The WCF Courier reported on a poll asking which candidate a person would support if they attend the Ames Iowa Straw Poll. Mitt Romney won, but a large number of Iowans are undecided as to which candidate they would vote for.


Romney - 28.4%
F Thompson - 18.3%
Giuliani - 6.9%
McCain - 6.2%
Tancredo - 4.8%
Huckabee - 4.1%
Brownback - 3.1%
T Thompson - 2.5%
Paul - 2.0%
Hunter - 0.8%
Cox - 0.8%
Undecided - 21%

McCain's Support Drops Among Iowa Republicans

Once viewed as a front-runner, he's now in single digits.

"Former presidential advisor David Gergen thinks he knows why. "Obviously his stand on the war as well as his stand on immigration -- both of those have caused him unhappiness in different parts of the Republican party."

"Beyond that, he's a very different candidate now. Sadly, tragically, I think his years as a prisoner of war may be catching up with him maybe in terms of his age."

Ouch, did he just imply that John McCain is crazy? I think that Giuliani and McCain dropped in Iowa polls from a combination of their stances on the key issues and their decision to skip the Iowa Straw Poll.
