McCain, Obama Are Leading in New Hampshire
McCain, Obama Are Leading in New HampshireArizona senator John McCain is the top choice for Republican Party supporters in the Granite State, according to a poll by Zogby International. 26 per cent of likely GOP primary voters in New Hampshire would vote for McCain in the 2008 United States presidential primary.
Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani is second with 20 per cent, followed by former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney with 13 per cent. Support is lower for U.S. state secretary Condoleezza Rice, former House of Representatives speaker Newt Gingrich, Nebraska senator Chuck Hagel, Colorado congressman Tom Tancredo, California congressman Duncan Hunter, former New York governor George Pataki, and Texas congressman Ron Paul.
In the sample of Democratic Party supporters, Illinois senator Barack Obama is first with 23 per cent, followed by New York senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and former North Carolina senator John Edwards with 19 per cent each. Support is lower for Massachusetts senator John Kerry—who withdrew from the race yesterday—retired general Wesley Clark, Delaware senator Joe Biden, Ohio congressman Dennis Kucinich, New Mexico governor Bill Richardson, and former Iowa governor Tom Vilsack.
New Hampshire traditionally hosts the first presidential primary in the United States. Since 1952, 11 Republicans and eight Democrats have won the Granite State contest and later earned their party’s presidential nomination. New Hampshire allows independent voters to take part in primaries.
In 2004, Kerry won the Democratic New Hampshire primary with 38.4 per cent, followed by former Vermont governor Howard Dean with 26.3 per cent, Clark with 12.4 per cent, and Edwards with 12.1 per cent. Incumbent president George W. Bush won the Republican primary without serious opposition.
Bush is ineligible for a third term in office. The next U.S. presidential election is scheduled for November 2008.
