It will be interesting to see the first real poll after Fred Thompson actually enters the race officially.

How the hell did McCain pick up four percentage points?

[Petronski]

I like the result, but Angus-Reid has a horrible reputation.

[Don Corleone]

That rumbling you hear in the background is the “Newt Machine” warming its engine.

[Petronski]

Ah, but it's a Rasmussen poll. That's encouraging.

Still, it shows McCain gaining four points?

[EternalVigilance]

Polls are like fire: If used properly they can be highly useful. Used improperly, they'll burn you bad.

I only draw one conclusion based on any polling I'm seeing out there currently: This race is as wide-open as it could be.

[GiveMeGoth]

I think there is a very real possibilty of a BROKERED
convention this time around.

Rasmussen has Rudy at 29%, Thompson at 22%, Romney at 13%, and McCain at 11% as of today, Monday, August 20th, 2007. What is the date of that report you posted?

Republicans 2008: Giuliani 22%, Thompson 19% (Rootie's Support Levels Still Falling)

Ironic subtitle, since the most recent Rasmussen poll has Rudy's support jumping up to 29%.

[xzins]

This poll says everything is extremely loose for the republicans. 75% is spread among the top 4 poll winners, and "someone else" is the choice of 25%.

This nomination will go to the winner of the money race OTHER THAN Rudy.

I don't know if Rudy will divide the party, but I'll split in some fashion or another yet to be figured out.

[LS]

Um, Fred's support falling too, down 6 points from July.

There is NO good news in this, even for all the Rudy haters.

[ZULU]

“Bush is ineligible for a third term in office.”

Thank God for small favors. But considering the leading candidate - its a VERY small favor.

Hope Rooty Ka-Zooty continues to plummet. Maybe he will change parties - the Dems can use a creditable candidate.

McCain is going up? Why?

Rasmussen has Giuliani up 7 today

Monday, August 20, 2007
In the race for the Republican Presidential Nomination, it’s Rudy Giuliani at 29% and Fred Thompson at 22% among Likely Republican Primary Voters. Mitt Romney is the top choice for 13% and Arizona Senator John McCain is now favored by 11% (see recent daily numbers). Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee tops the second tier at 4%.

[Wiseghy]

I have been worried of late, that a lot of industry groups seem to be anticipating a Dem victory.

Personally, I don’t see this as possible, given the weakness of HC as a candidate.

However, within healthcare, the mega-plans and providers are starting to line-up on the Dem side.

[stockstrader]

More good news,,,,as Rudy continues his long, slow, and inevitable slide!! As more and more Republicans find out about Rudy's strong LIBERAL bent,,,his slide will continue.

We do NOT need a LIBERAL to head our Party!

[Rick_Michael]

Why is McCain still around!?
