CBS) According to a new CBS News poll out Monday, Rudy Giuliani retains a significant lead nationally among Republican primary voters in the race to become the party’s presidential nominee.
In all, 38 percent of Republican primary voters favor the former New York City mayor, a slight increase from last month. Senator-turned-actor Fred Thompson is next; he's favored by 18 percent of Republican primary voters, a seven-point drop from last month. Thompson has yet to officially announce his candidacy.
The third choice, at 13 percent, is former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who improved five points from one month ago. He was followed by Arizona Sen. John McCain, who came in at 12 percent.

Any poll conducted by CBS that receives any publicity is purely for effect. I wouldn’t put stock in a CBS poll if it concluded the earth is round.
Strong, but Rudy lost an actual straw poll in Iowa.
Well, CBS wouldn’t lie to us. < /S >
I'm starting to hear the drum beat now.
The liberals’ dream race: Giusolini vs Shrillary

He’s got the big states

CBS. Oh yeah, I believe them. Not
We don’t want mainstream establishment for our candidates. The MSM does.
Rudy Giuliani 29.2%
John McCain 15.2%
Mitt Romney 11.8%
Fred Thompson 15.2%
Sam Brownback 1.0%
Mike Huckabee 1.7%
Ron Paul 1.1%
Newt Gingrich 6.9%
Tommy Thompson 1.0%
Thompson is dropping because he’s waiting too long to get in.
People are starting to have their doubts about him.
He should be able to recover, though it may be more difficult than he thinks.
People were expecting him to heroically ride in on a white horse, but it looks like by the time he finally shows up the villains will have already made off with the damsel.
It’s not too early at all. The nomination will be decided in about five months.
FT needs to get into the damn ring already.
Liberals will always vote for the Dim. Happens every time. No matter how much booty the RINO kisses.
I was watching a pollster from Quinnipiac on cspan go through all these numbers and comment. Then he admitted that only ten percent of Dems have actually committed to their choice of candidate.
If Fred doesn’t jump in, it’ll be a fight between the libertarian wing of the GOP (Romney, Paul) and the social conservative/WOT wing (Hunter, Tancredo). Things could get ugly.
