"With a week to go before the Iowa Republican Party's critical straw poll, an
informal survey of Iowa Republican Party leaders, conducted by Real Clear
Politics, shows high expectations for former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.
Those high expectations of local party leaders could be a huge benefit, if
Romney meets them, or a painful negative should he fail. The numbers, and the
expectations for all the candidates, show a race that could dramatically change
on Saturday."
Romney is taking the lead in a lot of early elections, and while the straw poll has no official standing, it does indicate where voters are likely to fall in the primary. In recent polls, Romney has a strong lead in Iowa and a good standing in New Hampshire, it isn't until the South Carolina primary that he falls in the polls. The whole map of the primaries has changed with recent news of South Carolina moving up its primary, but early wins could help Romney in states he is trailing in now.
