Iowa GOP Candidate Poll Numbers -Time for Some Lower Tier Candidates to Retire
The Des Moines Register has released the October polling numbers for Republican presidential candidates.While Mitt Romney still leads in Iowa, Fred Thompson has emerged as his nearest competitor in a new Des Moines Register poll of likely Republican caucus participants. Mike Huckabee and Rudy Giuliani are in a tight race for third place. John McCain is behind Huckabee and Giuliani and is now a significant leader of the lower tier candidates in Iowa. Even Ron Paul, who gets a lot of comments in postings in the Des Moines Register online site, is lagging at the bottom which suggests his supporters may be few but vocal in posting comments.
A major question continues. Why don't the lower tier candidates who are receiving almost no support and have no chance of winning or changing their position, face the music and back out of the race for the GOP presidential nomination. We would than have a better view of who truly will be the candidates of choice to Iowa Republicans. Since Alan Keys is a recent contender, he deserves the opportunity for more time to be looked as he gets his message out to the voters. However, others are going nowhere. John Cox 0%, Duncan Hunter 1%, Sam Brownback 2%, and Ron Paul 4% are on the bottom. At least the bottom three should save both themselves and their constituents money and gracefully retire from the race. Even though Tom Tancredo polled at 5%, he was not included in the list recommended to withdraw because he is only slightly behind John McCain and a 9% undecided vote. Regardless, what the final outcome will be, one thing is sure - John Cox , Sam Brownback and Duncan Hunter are going nowhere in Iowa.[Source of Iowa GOP Polling Numbers]
