Sorry about the first table, I couldn't get the coding right. Go to the "Source URL" if you want to see the proper formatting.
Looks like McCain is tanking. Good riddance!
Fred’s doing better than Mitt though, and he hasn’t even announced yet.
VOTE FRED!!!
Fred’s lead is nothing more than name recognition at this point.
Romney’s numbers are 33% favorable, 24% unfavorable (which is down from a month ago), and 43% with *NO OPINION*.
In the states that he has campaigned hard in (Iowa and NH), he is leading in the polls.
There isn’t a doubt in my mind that he will be the Republican nominee for President.
True, but we’ll just have to see what happens once Thompson declares. No one can live up to the hype that has surrounded Fred since he first tentatively put his hat in the ring so, it will be interesting to see what happens when he finally pulls the trigger.
Governor Romney is slowly encroaching upon Senator Thompson. Good. I hope his support continues to increase, and Thompson’s continues to plummet.
IF he finally pulls the trigger. I’m afraid most of his momentum will be lost by the time he finally gets around to announcing.
That’s what I’m thinking. I have to wonder what he’s waiting for. He seems interesting as a candidate but, crap or get off the pot, dude!
Fred Thompson hasn’t had a chance to show how aged he looks, either.
Looks like you need to update your numbers, Rocket. That shows 16%—not 43%.
Who did they call on that, anyway? The MassResistance hotline?
agreed about Mitt.....I would prefer Duncan...but for name recognition and a high conservative rating I am going with Fred.....Hunter for veep would not be too shabby either...
IMO - 8% is more than a “modest” gain, especially when his numbers almost doubled. He is doing quite well. Let’s see if he can maintain it.
Romney is one of the only candidates who is even showing a decent gain. Almost every other candidate is dropping at least a small amount or remaining constant. Even Fred Thompson is moving down in the polls after the initial excitement of his potential candidacy. It is also interesting to see Romney’s unfavorables falling as more and more people get to see him. If he can keep this momentum going and continue his national organization-building, being one of the best financed candidates in the field, he’s got a real shot at the nomination.
A one point dip doesn't negate a months-long trend of Romney's unfavorables rising higher and higher.
Rasmussen has Romney's negatives continuing to worsen, eclipsing Hillary's.
Romney has no business doing this well. His current standing is a testament to his political talent. A non-sitting gov from a liberal NE state with zero national profile should not have a punchers chance in hell of winning the nomination. But Romney is in the ring trading haymakers and doesn’t look worse for the wear. He is a very intriguing candidate. The more you see him, the more you like him.
Learn to read.
At this point in the campaign:
16% say they would definitely vote FOR Romney
44% say they would definitely vote AGAINST Romney
That is absolutely pathetic.
