Iowa loves Mitt!
"In an internal poll, ex-MA Gov. Mitt Romney holds a whopping 17 point lead over the rest of the Republican field, further evidence to Romney's senior staff that his organizational prowess and early support in Iowa scared challengers John McCain and Rudy Giuliani away," Marc Ambinder reports.
"The poll, conducted by Romney's pollster and distributed to top campaign officials last week, shows Romney with 29 percent, followed by Giuliani and 'Undecided' with 12 percent each. Fred Thompson receives 10 percent in Romney's poll. McCain receives 9 percent.
"Analysis from Alex Gage, a Romney consultant:
"'Gov. Romney’s ratings are extremely favorable in the state — 78% of caucus-goers have a favorable impression of him with only 10% having an unfavorable impression. The Governor’s favorables have increased by 10 points over the past two months. By comparison, Giuliani’s favorability rating has decreased by a net of 15 points since March, and McCain’s has dropped by a net of 11 points.'"
