When taking a look at Fred Thompson in the polls you will see a steady increase in popularity over the last several months. Looking at usaelectionpolls.com you will see in almost every one of the polls done in September that Fred Thompson has gained. The average by southern states has grown steadily from 5.5% in March up to a high of 25.8% this September with steady increases all along. In the West Fred Thompson started out at an average of 8.5% in March and has worked back from a drop to 6.5% in April up to a strong 20.5% this September with a few increases and decreases along the way.
When looking at the Red vs. Blue states at USA Election Polls, you will find that Fred Thompson started out low in the red states in January at 1.0% and has steadily climbed to 19.6% in July with a decrease in August and a rally to 21.8% this September. In the blue states Fred Thompson started out with an average of 5.5% and steadily gained to a high of 14.3% in July but dropped in August to 12.8% and has made a slow come back to 13.3% this September. Other polls that can be observed show a strong steady increase in most states polled this month the highest of which would be Georgia at 32.0%, and New York the lowest at 9.0%. In the news Fred Thompson seems to fair just as well with highs from NBC at 26% and lows from several news polls at 20.0% for the month of September.

Your post reminds me of the turtle and the rabbit story.
He will win.
If Hillary does I am moving out of CONUS.
I want to see Fred debate. Is he ever gonna bother?
Maybe when there is an actual debate to participate in.
You might be right. It certainly looks like Fred, aka Southern Fried Reagan, is starting to heat up. I think the debates will either make or break him.
bump!
“My personal feeling from reading posts of many Rudy supporters on other forums is that many feel that he is the only candidate who can beat Hillary and will be the strongest candidate in the WOT, and that moving the Republican party further to the center will get more votes from dems and independents who are more centrist.”
I agree with what you said above, but the DEM debate this past Wednesday has changed things. After hearing for so long from the DEMS that the “war is lost”, and how they would “pull out now” if elected, we now know they won’t say they would be out of Iraq by 2013! The DEMS are now sounding like the Republicans on the war issue! Does this mean that by the time the election comes around, that the war issue will take a back seat and the immigration/border security will be the “big” issue? If so, the DEMS don’t have a prayer of winning with their stance on illegal immigration/border security!!
“Do we like his (Rudy’s) views on social issues? No we don’t. Are we comfortable with every aspect of the mans personal life? No, but he’s right on the WOT and most economic issues.”
Yes, he is right on the War On Terror. But now, the DEMS are saying they can’t committ to pulling troops out of Iraq by 2013! Since the DEMS now sound like the Republicans on the war issue, we may see another issue come to the top of the “issue list”. On the immigration issue, Rudy is with the DEMS and the majority of Americans are not.
We’ve added FRED’08 decals to the fenders of our car that we dragrace with, and a rearbumper sticker is visible to those we’re whuppin’!!
Adding a few to the trailer this weekend as well.
It’s pretty easy to determine who’s on the right side of the way to fight the WOT -
just ask, who would the terrorist leaders rather face, Fred or Rudy, or Hillary?
As for voting for Rudy or not (I’m a Fred man myself),
I’ll vote for ANYONE* that is on the ticket opposite Hillary.
*Since Hillary is damn near the devil himself, this would be the only exception.
Not just here. I see it with many RINO women who despise conservatives on social issues. These are RINO women who for whatever reason associated with republicans (husbands family, etc) They don’t really care about the war on terror in all sincerity, they just want to push out anyone of religious value because they view the Republican party as not about principles or values but about being in a schoolyard clique for mere popularity contests.
I think he’s popular right now among many Republicans because he’s the “not a Mormon” and “not Rudy” and “not McCain” candidate (i.e., he’s popular by default).
We’ll see if his popularity continues when he enters the debates, if he does.

I will also support the Republican candidate no matter whom it is. Rudy is not a real conservative so I would not vote for him in the primary. I am also a Fred supporter but also love Duncan Hunter. Thompson/Hunter would be wonderful as far as I am concerned. :)
“and that moving the Republican party further to the center will get more votes from dems and independents who are more centrist.”
Because kissing the ass of your enemies has always been a successful tactic for victory, right?
“I’ll never understand the ‘republicans’ in NY whom support Rudy, and wouldn’t dare think of supporting Fred!?”
Most people don’t read F.R. New Yorkers, in particular, would rely on the NYPost or the like, which, as is their wont, support the hometown boy.
Fred is too late...all the pundits told me so. They couldn't be wrong, they line in DC and NYC!
NYC effetes for a NYC effete.
look at where the reporters is located and that will tell the tale.
If the story has to be cleared through the NYC AP, it will be scrubbed to favor the NYC candidate.
