The Republican candidates for president

Mitt Romney secured the Republican nomination on May 29th by winning the Texas primary and gaining enough delegates to push him over the threshold.

Our interactive map provides the results of the primaries and caucuses in each state, as well as data on recent polls and those for forthcoming contests. Point your cursor at a state and a summary of the exit polling data will appear in a window on the right.

The "Zoom to" drop-down tag above the map allows you to scroll down directly to a state. Not all states are surveyed frequently, and voters' preferences for candidates can change swiftly during the primaries.

The drop-down election calendar includes some tentative dates, which we will update if they are revised. Where mentioned, information about the Republican electorate during the 2008 primaries and the election results that year are from CNN's exit polls.

As the primaries progress we will update the number of state delegates whose support each candidate is reckoned to have won as they move towards securing the nomination as the Republican Party's candidate for president. You can also watch this space for any important developments.
