Thanks and here is some more poll news:

With over 9,000 votes in cast in this month's GOP Bloggers straw poll, Mayor Giuliani wins with 33.1% of the vote. As the Hotline's Conn Carroll noted yesterday, this was the largest winning percentage of any candidate in the history of the poll.

Some analysis is in order:

Mayor Giuliani increased his support by over 70% from last month.
The Mayor won with votes of all degrees of conservatism through 8, and won at every level of candidate commitment and blog readership.

The shift from Captain's Quarters readers, the largest blog participating in the poll, is striking. Last month, the results were Romney 31.6%, Giuliani 25.6%, Gingrich 23%. This month, the results were Giuliani 43.9%, Gingrich 21.4%, Romney 16.5%.

And if you're interested in what scientific polls of primary voters are saying, look no further than the latest USA Today poll, which shows Mayor Giuliani breaking 40% for the first time, 16 points ahead of his nearest competitor.
