Latest Rasmussen Poll:

McCain 17%
Romney 16%
Huckabee 16%
Giuliani 15%
Thompson 12%

Romney is sitting just below his highs. Thompson is sitting 20+ points down from his highs. The only other candidate who isn’t sitting well below their highs is McCain.

McCain scares me to death!

Romney is sitting just below his highs.

Yes, we know, 40 million and counting.

As I’ve said before in threads pushing Huck, McCain and Fred, national polls mean nothing in our state-by-state primary system. They reflect population concentrations that are not representative of either timely voting, nor delegate assignment. For example, PA has a huge pop, but won’t vote until the end of April. Utah has half of WI population, but almost as many delegates due to their historic GOP support.

The only use for national polls is to identify very general trends. What matters now is the position in the pre-Super Tuesday races. Based on those results, Super Tuesday will change from it’s current polling, and based on those results, everything after will change again. There is NO way to predict TX in March, because the field will be totally changed by then, yet TX is given weight in the National polls.
