The McCain Update - June 22, 2007


On Wednesday, John McCain stopped in Florida to deliver a major foreign policy address on forging a stronger partnership with our Latin America neighbors to secure our hemisphere from terrorists, narcotraffickers, and leftist dictators like Hugo Chavez. This week, John McCain also delivered the comm encement address at the U.S. Marine Merchant Academy, where he spoke about the importance of public service. Looking ahead to next week, June 30 marks the end of another fundraising period - now is the time for all of us who support John McCain and believe that he is the right leader for these times to invest in his campaign and ensure that he has the resources to do what he does best - meet the voters, hold the town hall meetings, and talk about the big challenges facing our country.

At the Polls
Recent polls show how fluid the race for the Republican nomination really is. As polls have added Fred Thompson's name to the question they are asking, we've seen the numbers for all the candidates change and shift. This is normal for this early state of the race. What these changes reveal is the truth: it is early and most Republican primary voters have not made up their mind about who they will vote for in 2008.

The Cook/RT strategies report shows Senator McCain in a strong second place position tied with Fred Thompson. Sixteen percent of voters say they would support John McCain if the election were held today. Rudy Giuliani wins 20% of the vote and Fred Thompson wins 15%.
