Iowa Ponders White House Options for 2008
(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Republican Party supporters in the Hawkeye State place two candidates at the top of the list of United States presidential hopefuls, according to a poll by Research 2000 released by KCCI. 27 per cent of likely GOP caucus voters in Iowa would vote for Arizona senator John McCain, while 26 per cent would support former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney is third with nine per cent, followed by former House of Representatives speaker Newt Gingrich with seven per cent. Support is lower for U.S. state secretary Condoleezza Rice, New York governor George Pataki, Florida governor Jeb Bush, Virginia senator George Allen, Kansas senator Sam Brownback and Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum.
In the sample of Democratic Party supporters, former North Carolina senator John Edwards and Illinois senator Barack Obama are tied for first place with 22 per cent, followed by Iowa governor Tom Vilsack with 12 per cent, and New York senator Hillary Rodham Clinton with 10 per cent. Support is lower for former U.S. vice-president Al Gore, Massachusetts senator John Kerry, retired general Wesley Clark, Ohio congressman Dennis Kucinich, Maryland senator Joseph Biden, Indiana senator Evan Bayh, and Arizona governor Bill Richardson.
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.
The Republican Party will hold an unofficial straw poll of candidates in Iowa in August 2007, before the actual caucus in 2008.
In 2004, Kerry won the Democratic Iowa caucus with 38 per cent, followed by Edwards with 32 per cent, former Vermont governor Howard Dean with 18 per cent, Missouri congressman Dick Gephardt with 11 per cent, and Kucinich with one per cent. Incumbent president George W. Bush won the Republican caucus unopposed.
Bush is ineligible for a third term in office. The next U.S. presidential election is scheduled for November 2008.
