According to opinion polls (mainly Public Policy Polling) the race is divided between three main candidates: former Governor Mitt Romney (leading in eleven states), former Governor Mike Huckabee (leading in nine states), and former Governor Sarah Palin (leading in seven states). The most fascinating result is that Mike Huckabee is leading in Sarah Palin's Alaska.
Three other candidacies are limited in their appeal to certain regions: Newt Gingrich (leading in two states), Tim Pawlenty (leading in one state), and Senator DeMint (leading in one state). Three of the four states are their own, and nineteen states have not even been polled on the election, according to a recent review of all available data, which I hope is updated in the near future.
So who is leading?
Absolutely no-one.
Each of the three main candidates have huge prizes* in their corner, but that could change as none of the three main candidates, or even the three second level candidates are guaranteed to run for the GOP Nomination. Meaning the above created map (Wikipedia is thanked for their blank map section), could have just been a massive waste of my time. Only time will tell.
* - Romney: California, Florida, and New Hampshire. Huckabee: Iowa, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Palin: Ohio, Texas, and Wisconsin.
