Romney's Iowa Lead Begins To Shrink

A Rasmussen poll of likely Republican caucus voters in Iowa shows Mitt Romney's lead beginning to shrink, and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee building traction.

IOWA G.O.P.
Mitt Romney 25%
Fred Thompson 19%
Mike Huckabee 18%
Rudy Giuliani 13%

Romney now holds a 6-point lead in the Hawkeye State, and Huckabee has moved into a virtual tie for second place with Thompson.

"However, the race in Iowa is very fluid. For each of the top four candidates, between 57% and 61% of their supporters say they might change their mind before the caucus is held," Rasmussen reports.

"Romney and Thompson are essentially even among men, but Thompson attracts only 10% of the vote from women. In fact, Romney, Huckabee, and Giuliani all outpoll Thompson for the female vote," reports the survey.

"Huckabee leads among Evangelical Christians while Romney leads among those with other religious beliefs," Rasmussen reports.
