Nice poll methodology.

[RockinRight]

Fred’s in a steady third.

[Kitten Festival]

I’ll take McCain over Giuliani, McCain hasn’t offended me the way Giuliani has over Chavez. McCain, for all his flaws, at least understands the threat of communism in our hemisphere.

[Corin Stormhands]

Amazing how Rudy’s lead evaporated once Fred Thompson got in the race.

Oh...wait...

[Clump]

Fred Thompson. CONSERVATIVE leadership, articulate, pro life, pro gun, pro family, electable. Just like Rudy, only opposite.

"I tell people what I think. I tell them (to) evaluate me as I am and do not expect them to agree with me on everything. I don’t agree with me on everything. If that’s the most important thing, then I’m comfortable with the fact you won’t vote for me."

While I am not comfortable with Rudy's views on the subject of abortion, I agree with him on most of the other top subjects. And I rather enjoy the fact that he is very open on his personal beliefs and views on the various subjects. I don't agree with all of his decisions, but I admire the fact that he lays everything out for people to see.

Unless someone else comes along who is closer to my personal views and has a decent chance of beating the Dims, I am going to stick with Rudy.

[truth_seeker]

Appears F. Thompson’s votes come from McCain, Romney and Gingrich.

But not from Guiliani. This will disappoint those who hope a couple of gaffes this week doom Guiliani.

But, but, but, but, but,,,

I thought Rudy was going to lose 2 points every day according to one Rudy hater.

I’m pro-choice. I’m pro-gay rights, Giuliani said. He was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call partial-birth abortions. “No, I have not supported that, and I don’t see my position on that changing,” he responded.

ANDERSON COOPER 360 DEGREES (November 14, 2006)

RUDY GIULIANI (R), FORMER MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY: I'm pro- choice. I'm pro-gay rights.

KING: Giuliani supports a woman's right to an abortion, and back in 1999, he opposed a federal ban on late-term abortions.

GIULIANI: No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing.

KING: Immigration could be another presidential landmine. Back in 1996, Mayor Giuliani went to federal court to challenge new federal laws requiring the city to inform the federal government about illegal immigrants.

JEFFREY: He took the side of illegal immigrants in New York City against the Republican Congress.

KING: Giuliani opposes same-sex marriage but as mayor, he supported civil unions and extending health and other benefits to gay couples. He also supported the assault weapons ban and other gun control measures opposed by the National Rifle Association.

GIULIANI: I'm in favor of gun control. I'm pro-choice.

Republican Big-Wigs Support Pro-Abortion Event in NY

Pro-abortion Governor George Pataki and New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who also supports unrestricted abortion, are co-chairs of the 2000 Choice Award Presentation to be held on May 30 at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City. The event is sponsored by the Republican Pro-Choice Coalition, a group that is campaigning for the removal of the pro-life plank from the Republican National Platform.

USA Today/Gallup March 23-25 poll shows Rudy Giuliani with 31% of the vote, down from 44% March 2-4. Similar results come from April 4 Rasmussen poll. Giuliani still leads with 26%, down from 35% percent from March 27 poll. Thompson has replaced Giuliani in first place in the 10th week of the Pajamas Media online straw poll. (SOURCE FR Thread—Barone: The Changing Republican Race.)

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that Giuliani’s lead over Hillary has disappeared. Last month, Giuliani had an eight point lead over Clinton. The month before, it was nine points. Giuliani had been ahead of Clinton in five straight monthly polls dating back to December.

Two other polls released this week show the same slippage for Giuliani. He lost his lead over Sen Barack Obama and also lost nine percentage points of support in the race for the GOP Nomination. This latest survey finds that Giuliani’s favorability ratings have also slipped.

Angus-Reid? Where was this sample taken, how many, what was the breakdown by party, etc.? There is nothing here to offer any credibility.

The anti Rudy's were too slow on the throttle to deliver this little punch, so I will do it for them. When one clicks the link, after the poll numbers, at the end is this little note:

Democrats like Rudy better than the other Pubbies. Who knew? :)

[Gop1040]

I like it.
Interesting though that Rudy has gone up (+2) between polls and McCain went down (-6), Romney went down (-4), and Thompson enters at 10% the sum of their losses. I’d be worried if I were McCain or Romney if Thompson enters the race.

Dream on. Fred Thompson will blow everyone of them out of the water as soon as he actually announces. Rudy is done! Lead him off the stage. A RINO is a RINO every day of the week.
