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!

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.
If outfits like Fox weren’t propping up Fruity Rudy, he’d be in the single-digits-—in their own polls.
National polls on the primaries are meaningless unless tied to the delegates earned, state by state. If Candidate X wins California by .01%, that trumps Y winning several smaller states by 100%.
Interesting. How many voted in this poll for Duncan Hunter? I did, for one. Why didn’t our votes register?
I notice this poll included both Democrats and Republicans. Who else would the Dems say they’d vote for but Rudy?
Fox has not had a decent and accurate poll since Opinion Dynamics started doing their polling. Rasmussen is the most accurate.

I read all the anti-Rudy comments from Freepers. I believe politics is all about who is rising up to be the cream of the crap. Unadulterated idealism will get you a Hildabeast for a President. When it comes down to a head-to-head between Hillary and Rudi, I beleieve 90% of Freepers will break down and vote for Rudy. Rudy does indeed leave much to be desired as a GOP presidential candidate. Yes, he is very liberal on social issues and I don’t like it. He will, however, be a bulldog in the WOT. I won’t have any trouble sleeping at night knowing he is running the war. He will not be characterized by the “New Tone” in his relationships with the Democrats or the leftist media. They will be the ones on the defensive. He will make lots of us shout “Yeah!” when he reminds Jackasses and journalists who the boss is and what the stakes are.
As for Fred Thompson. I will vote for him in the primary and the general if he can convince me he will defeat Hillary. I’m not convinced at all so far. He was tepid as Minority Council during the Watergate hearings. He had a chance to latch on to Clinton’s butt regarding various secrets sold to the Chicoms for campaign loot. He didn’t get it done. He was with McCain on McCain-Feingold. I guess he is not gung-ho about the 1st Amendment. He was mediocre as a US Senator. Can you name any legislation he authored or was closely associated with? He has a repetitive reputation for laziness. And what’s with all this pussyfooting about getting into the race? Is he not sure he wants to run? Or is he finessing his entrance to get the biggest bang for his buck? Whatever. His image as a folksy conservative actor goes only so far with me. Can he win? For certain I never again want to see a happy pair of Clintons on election night. Too much is at stake.
Why didn’t you post the (sucky) internals of this (shabby) poll? They were right at the top of the page.
Who did they poll, their own newsroom?
Therefore, meaningless.
At minimum, you have to get likely voters. The most accurate is going to be obtained by removing people who did not vote in the last primary.
Meanwhile: In other news, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson are the top three in the various republican straw polls.

There... I fixed it.
Technically, “don’t know” is running second and climbing.
Fox News Dynamics poll
PAAAAAHHHHHHLEEEEEEZZZZZZ, that poll is so discredited over the years as to need a laugh track as a matter of law.
(kerry will win by 5)
