Wide open, as they say.

You mean that Huck and Rudith have fallen below 17%?

[Always Right]

Wow, 5 candidates all within 5%.

Polls are all over the place and especially a poll like Rusmussen that is taken daily. Here are the last 3 days numbers and you can see how they bounce around. National tracking polls aren't necessary indicative of the state by state polls and don't reflect the outcome should one of the candidates get back to back early wins.

               12/27    12/28    12/29 
Mike Huckabee   20%       17       16
Rudy Giuliani   18%       19       15
John McCain     14%       15       17 
Mitt Romney     13%       13       16
Fred Thompson   11%       12       12

It will be McCain. He can win the general. Better then a Dem.

[WildcatClan]

Good news for Undecided, which would be as high a percentage as any of the candidates received.

[Grunthor]

I’d vote for McCain shortly after hell freezes over.

“Data from RasmussenMarkets.com suggest that Giuliani has a 30.0 % chance of winning the Republican nomination, Mitt Romney 25.8 %, John McCain 21.0 %, Mike Huckabee 11.7 %, and Fred Thompson 3.3 %. However, those numbers are likely to shift dramatically as results come in from the upcoming Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire Primaries.”

Does anybody ever go back and check these polls after they come out? I wonder how many of these polling people are ever right? Coward Dean would have won if they were right. Kohn Kerry would have won after that. Gore would have won in 2000. I just don’t believe these polls at all.

[Kuksool]

For the 1st time, Rasmussen has McCain leading the GOP pack nationally.
