American Research Group released statewide polling for January 2007 in Michigan (Giuliani), Missouri (McCain), Florida (Giuliani), Pennsylvania (Giuliani), Illinois (Giuliani), New Mexico (Giuliani), California (Giuliani) and North Carolina (Giuliani).
Former Governor Mitt Romney (MA), born in Detroit, Mich., recorded 10 percent in the state, good for third place, where his father, George W. Romney, was governor from 1963 to 1969.
Senator John McCain placed second and third, respectively, in neighboring states California and New Mexico.
Expect the numbers of Senator Sam Brownback (KS) to increase as time progresses. He is expected to announce tomorrow in his home state and when the Christian conservatives begin to express support for him, his standing should rise. To what extent remains to be seen.
The biggest impediment to success for Jim Gilmore, former Virginia Governor, is name recognition. His conservative credentials and national security experience would make him a tough opponent in the primaries — if people knew who he was.
Left off the ballot: Congressman Tom Tancredo (CO), Congressman Duncan Hunter (CA), Congressman Ron Paul (TX), John H. Cox (IL), and “The Other Candidates.”
