New York held its state presidential primary on February 5, 2008 (Super Tuesday). There were 101 delegates up for grabs for the candidates, whereas the rules are winner-take-all, which means the winner of the state receives all 101 delegates for the 2008 Republican National Convention.

On February 2, Arizona Senator John McCain had a fairly large lead in the polls above the competition with 35% as oppose to the next candidate Rudy Giuliani with 22.5%, who announced a withdrawal from the race on January 30, 2008.[1]
