Romneys California lead over McCain grew by three points over the previous tracking poll, to 40% support in this important winner-take-all state, compared to McCains 32%, a two-point loss from the day before. Romney did well among conservative voters here, with 46% of their support, compared to McCains 29%. That group made up more than half the sample. The survey included 915 likely voters and carried a margin of error of +/- 3.3 points.

They will come out big for him.
I guess McCain won't be bothered then..........
Romney leads in Massachusetts by 54 percent.
McCain is not my friend.. I hate when he addresses every statement to a person.. with “MY FRIEND”
“the winner take all” were Zogby’s words, not mine, take it up with them.
I was watching a DVD the other night, The Fighting 69th, a WWII era movie (set in WWI). One of the bonus features on the disc was a short newsreel about the Nazi bombings of London. The entire feature was about how determined the British were not to let Hitler intimidate them or break their spirit, even as bombs fell on their city every evening. I kept thinking that if this was occurring today, the reporter would be seeking out people who whine and cry in front of the cameras, people who would blame their own country for the bombings and would be screaming angrily about how Churchill should negotiate a "peace" proposal with Hitler because the bombings are just too much to take.
When I was a kid growing up in the sixties, Pearl Harbor occasionally came up as a topic for discussion at home, with the older men sitting around the barber shop, and elsewhere. People were still mad about it, a quarter of a century later. Yet, within a couple of weeks of 9/11, people at my place of employment were complaining that it was still being talked about. The whole attitude was, "Like, okay, 9/11 was a bad thing, but, like, it's over and let's just move on and stop thinking about it".
Latinos are mostly Democrats everywhere except Florida, so unless it’s a crossover state McCain can’t rely on a massive Latino vote. Still, the Latino vote in California is so huge that even if only a few are Republicans it could have an impact.
I don’t see how any American can forget Sept 11, 2001, in only seven years.
Who wants to vote for the Bill Clinton handpicked candidate pick for Republicans to run against Hillary? What is this country smoking?
I think you are right. But half the votes will already have been cast when the polls open due to early voting. During the early voting period, McCain was in the lead, which more likely than not will give him the edge.
SurveyUSA polled early voters as of 1/27. They had voted for McCain over Romney by 10 points. If their poll is accurate 29% of voters had already cast ballots as of that date.
I think early voting helped McCain in FL also, as Romney looked like he might have been picking up steam in the final hours there.
Conservatives haven't forgotten it and liberals blame Bush for it.
Sure I do.....
I am looking at the most recent SurveyUSA GOP primary poll. They use a sample that is 17% Hispanic.
If I understand the CA rules correctly, a RAT or independent can vote in the GOP primary only by changing registration and pretending to be a Republican.
You mean the state of New York that disenfranchises upstate voters at every turn?
LOL. You must not live in California. Every election the Field poll overstates Democratic support in the polls - from candidates to ballot propositions.
“Mrs. Maria Scwartzenegger has endorsed Obama, and is on his campaign trail.”
Doesn’t Obama have most (if not all) of the Kennedy booze-hounds in the bag?
There is no such animal as a “moderate conservative”. Ever heard of a “lberal conservative”? C’mon!, now! Either you’re a RINO, a liberal or a conservative. Please!!
Dear Admin,
You haven’t responded to my thread on the Zogby numbers, but up front, I looked and saw NOTHING in “News” or in “Bloggers” or the other section I check out at FR that had a thing about this new survey.
Sorry about the duplication, but since I found no other threads on the subject, I assumed nobody had posted it.
Regards,
