A new Gallup poll of the national Republican race shows Rudy Giuliani's support slipping to its lowest level since before he entered the race. The survey of self-identified Republicans and Republican leaners has Giuliani leading the GOP contest with 28 percent – down from 34 percent in the Gallup survey taken two weeks ago. Fred Thompson is second with 19 percent, John McCain is third with 13 percent, Mitt Romney is fourth with 12 percent, and Mike Huckabee is fifth with ten percent.
Giuliani's support reached its highest point in Gallup polls, 49 percent, in March. In the months since, it has moved around in the mid- to low-30s range. Of the other candidates, McCain is down a bit from recent Gallup polls, while Huckabee's ten percent is three points higher than it has ever been before. Finally, Ron Paul is at five percent, which matches his previous high point, reached last month.
A brokered convention is very possible.
Where the heck is Lou Dobbs now that that we have a major candidate grabbing the anti-amnesty issue.
Is Dobbs and CNN covering Fred on the campaign trail speaking out against amnesty? Of course not.
Somebody tell Hucksterabee to go away. His 10% is needed by Fred.
46 days and counting..... the end is rapidly approaching for some of the wannabees.
The Hucksterabee maybe the best shot we’ve got to dampen Romney’s Iowa onslaught. If someone can force Romney into a squeaker in Iowa then that may help slow his early states momentum he’s banking on to push him on to victory.
I don’t think the Huck has a change overall but he’s showing some good strength in Iowa....
I don’t know about the Florida prediction. South Florida maybe but many other parts I believe will go anti, anti-Hillary.
good point
Looks like he's up about 7 percent this week.
“The survey of self-identified Republicans and Republican leaners has Giuliani leading the GOP contest with 28 percent”
How many of these “self-identified Republicans and Republican leaners” are really democrats on independents that can not vote in the primary? No wonder we can not trust the polls.
I thought Rudy’s slip was showing.....again.
GOP better dump this POS before we’re all lab rats for the rats.....
You don’t understand. That is the only sample that matters for this poll. Only registered Republicans can vote the Republican ticket for the primary in most states.
Um... No. You don't understand my post. Polls are statistically irrelevant and only a tool to generate a sheeple response and discourage an electorate from becoming informed voters. They are statistically irrelevant, whether it be a general election or primary.
Vote for the candidate that will best represent you--Period! The only "poll" that counts is the one on election day when the votes are tallied.
“The Hucksterabee maybe the best shot we’ve got to dampen Romney’s Iowa onslaught. If someone can force Romney into a squeaker in Iowa then that may help slow his early states momentum he’s banking on to push him on to victory.”
So, what’s the point of that? you hankering for a Rudy victory? That’s the only outcome of a Huckabee win/near-win in Iowa. It certainly wont help Fred T. in fact it will probably sink him (if it hasnt already) to have another southern-style populist poaching on Fred’s territory.
Huckabee doing well = Rudy victory.
Who?
These polls do a disservice not pointing out the “other” vote total.
This Gallup poll has an “other” category of 18%.
The Rasmussen daily has an “other” category of 26%.
That’s a huge amount of swing that’s left to go to someone - it would include Hunter, Tancredo, undecided, etc.
But, it should not go unreported.
In other words, the fat lady ain’t yet singing.
The only reason a brokered convention isn’t assured is a huge one: Too many of these contests are winner-take-all, and can be won 19-18-15-13-12-10-5-3-2-2-1.
And that is more than 2 months away. ;-)
Like I said early, I like that Huck nickname you got going there for him. LOL
Yes, but we did need to wait for the ballot when Ford beat Reagan. Most people have forgotten: in 1976, more primary voters voted for Reagan than Ford!
