Meaningless. Poll conducted before Fred Thompson said he might run.

LOL! So every poll is meaningless until King Fred says he is running? Boy that really cuts it.

The percentage breakdowns and preference order of this presidential preference poll are JUNK.

It says very, very, very little about who conservatives or moderates will support when the campaign hits actual primaries.

It will be useful in the future as a baseline to analyse preference TRENDS, in ... oh, four months or so.

Although, as pointed out, there's likely to be a different group of candidates polled when the question is asked again.

I would go one step further. I consider all telephone polls to be highly suspect. Many people either refrain from picking up the phone (caller ID), or refuse to answer any questions. The attitudes of this group of people is likely to be very different from those who respond.

Until he runs, he won't win.
