Get outta here, Fox News has a Julie Annie bias? Next thing you’ll be telling me is that they’re pro-AMNESTY.
Sorta like how Sean Hannity constantly shills for Rudy, while always telling us that he's not pulling for any of the candidates.
The only number than changed significantly is McCain’s plummet. Everyone else seems to be in a holding pattern until Fred gets up and running.
Hunter is surging, up to .00024 % from .00000065 % the week before. Tremendous progress!
All the anti-Rudy people here better pray that McLame and Hunter and a couple of others drop out before the primaries for Fred to have any chance of challenging Rudy, but even then, I'm NOT convinced that if McLame and Romney dropped out tomorrow that Fred could get all their votes. I think it would go about 60/40 Rudy/Fred.
Fred, so far, has his “holding pattern” barely off the ground. He hasn’t made any consistent gains since first dipping his toes in. And with AZ and MI now moving THEIR primaries up, Fred’s going to have to have quite a magic act to make up 15% in polls.

It is possible and even highly probable, that you are right.
Despite all the media hype for Huckabee, he is tied with the supposedly non-electable Ron Paul. Romney is going nowhere despite his big spending.
The link shows that, “Polling was conducted by telephone Aug. 21-22, 2007, in the evenings.”
Rooty is toast and only MSM spin is propping him up now.
Why are so many registered Republicans for Guliani?? Can’t they see he’s a RINO? He doesn’t uphold the tradition GOP values that real candidates stand for. Good to know Fred’s got solid support, but man, why doesn’t anybody like Duncan Hunter?? He’s behind Ron Paul for crying out loud. Something is really screwy amongst the batch they’ve been polling here.
I don’t care how, why, or when, Rudy must be stopped.
He is a bully, his ego is the size of NY and his wife is nuts.
He’s the only guy running whose own kids hate him. That in itself, is telling.
The only real threat to Guilliani is Romney. No one else has his organization, executive skill and funding. Period. Full stop.
It is all about money. Always. If anyone is to stop Guilliani it will have to be Romney.
Fox News RINOdynamics(tm) Poll!
If outfits like Fox weren’t propping up Fruity Rudy, he’d be in the single-digits-—in their own polls.
I'm not disagreeing with you; I'm not a Fred backer. It just seems like voters are waiting for Fred to officially jump in, then figure out if he's presidential caliber.
A problem with Fred's support is that people don't really know where he stands on all the issues. He seems like a good guy, so people assume he must agree with them. Remember this same thing happened when Colin Powell flirted with a campaign in the '90s. No one knew what he believed in so they projected their beliefs on him.
Once he gets in and mixes it up for a few months, I'll be able to see if I can support him. But I'm not going to rule him in or out until he gets in the race.
