The latest USA Today/Gallup poll, conducted Friday through Sunday, on the presidential race is out, and it's a humdinger. It's hard to say what the headline even is. Here are a few tries, though:

* Romney's support drops to within the margin of error of not existing (that's 3% support in a poll where the margin of error is 3%).

* Giuliani's support drops 13 percentage points since the last USA Today/ Gallup poll, March 2-4 (that's gotta hurt).

* Fred Thompson (not running, by the way) is now the No. 3 in the GOP field, at 12%.

As I've said on other threads, it's important not to read too much into poll numbers at this stage of the game, but 12% does seem to be Fred's number right now (give or take a few). If he jumps in, he will at least be competitive. He'll have my vote when he does.

I don't trust polls at all. Just posting an article I thought interesting and a bit encouraging.

I agree it's encouraging. I think Fred has nowhere to go but up.

I agree with you, too easy to manipulate and skew.

I sure do hope Senator Thompson throws his hat in the ring. That is one fedora I would follow.

"No fan of Rudy."
No rudy-aid for me either. About 30% support on FR for rudy per side bar poll, yet how many threads?

When the pollsters give up on a liberal, it has got to be bad.

A REAL American, versus a flip flopper and Rockefeller with a vowel.

Good idea. I'm sure he'd work well with Arnold. He could be "Il Duce" in LA with the Austrian sitting in Sacramento.

Only downside is he'd welcome even more illegals in.

He'd be going from one sanctuary city to another.

Giuliani's support in the straw votes and most of the polls has been in the 30's among Republicans, so this is no surprise. Their previous had him higher, but no one else did. He remains the leader, and has all the momentum.

It looks like Thompson's attempt to take all the steam out of Romney and Hunter is working well. Thank you, Fred. Appreciate it.

Now go back to your easy chair and rest that beer belly....

Some "makeovers" just don't take...

It's hell to peak a year before an election...
