WASHINGTON (AP) - No one is a shoo-in for the Republican presidential nomination in the three important early states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
That's according to a new poll by The Associated Press and the nonpartisan Pew Research Center.
Across the three states, tight battles are being waged for voters' trust on Iraq, immigration and other key GOP issues and for control of pivotal groups including conservatives, white evangelicals and men.
Mitt Romney, not national front-runner Rudy Giuliani, is ahead in New Hampshire and fighting for the lead in Iowa and South Carolina. Mike Huckabee has been surging lately in Iowa.
According to the AP-Pew poll:
- In Iowa, Romney has 25 percent support among Republicans, Huckabee 24 percent, Giuliani 14 percent and Fred Thompson 12 percent.
- In New Hampshire, Romney has 37 percent, Giuliani 19 percent and John McCain 15 percent.
- In South Carolina, Romney and Giuliani have 19 percent each, Thompson 18 percent, McCain 13 percent and Huckabee 10 percent.
