The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday Rudy Giuliani with a growing advantage in the race for the Republican Presidential Nomination. Giuliani is supported by 27% of Likely Primary Voters, his highest daily total in over a month. Fred Thompson’s support has dipped to 17%, his lowest total since early June. This is not a result of last night’s debate since results are reported on a four-day rolling average basis. However, each of the four individual night’s poll results were a bit weaker for Thompson than the night before.
The last time Giuliani had a double-digit edge over Thompson was in mid-May. That was before the debate over immigration sank McCain’s campaign and the Arizona Senator was in second place.
Mitt Romney has moved to within a point of Thompson at 16% while John McCain got back into double digits at 11%. Mike Huckabee earns the vote from 6% (see recent daily numbers).

I’m trying to understand how Giuliani can be at 27% when we hear so little from him.
Duncan Hunter.
I don’t believe this at all.
Fred’s dropping like a rock already?
I think The MSM and the pollsters want a 3rd party candidate.
They seem to be pushing it.
I respect Rasmussen’s polling but wonder how many of these likely voters are Republican voters?
I agree.. this looks like a statistical outlier from their previous polls. Will be interesting to see their next tracking poll.
Well, if we are lucky enough for it to be Ron Paul, it will suck the anti-war fruitloops more than the conservative vote.
I still don’t believe polls. Rooty has done nothing to jump that quickly.
If this ends up true I will vote against Rooty in the primaries. If he wins I will be a write in voter.
I would have to agree with you! LOL
I would speculate that 75% of those individuals polled are not necessarily listening to the candidates at this point.

thats half a vote more for Hillary.
It's not a good trend line, that's for sure. It also seems to correlate to the all-out anti-Thompson blitz from left, center, and right over the last couple of weeks.
Still, Giuliani was pretty much in this same position 2 weeks ago, and now he's up 10. That shows the race to be remarkably fluid, although folks like McCain, Romney, and Huckabee show remarkable tenacity in hanging at a few points within their averages.
IMHO...the powers that be..have NO interest in a Thompson candidacy or presidency...they simply haven’t enough on him to manipulate him sufficiently.
