Voters head to the polls in Florida today in what is by all accounts a tight race for the top spot between John McCain and Mitt Romney.
McCain leads Romney 35 percent to 31 percent in today’s Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby tracking survey (though Romney has taken the lead in a Rasmussen national poll). Rudy Guliani and Mike Huckabee trail at a distant third, both at 13 percent.
A tepid showing may well bring an end to the former mayor of New York’s candidacy — not to mention represent a stunning rebuke of his Sunshine State strategy.
Here & Now’s Jill Kaufman gets this primary update from Juan Vasquez, deputy editorial page editor at the Miami Herald.
