In the race for the Republican Presidential Nomination, Rudy Giuliani remains on top, five points ahead of Fred Thompson. Among Likely Republican Primary Voters nationwide, Giuliani is preferred by 24% while Thompson is the first choice for 18%. Mitt Romney and John McCain are each at 13% while Mike Huckabee is clinging to double digits at 10%. No other Republican attracts more than 3% support (see recent daily numbers).

I mentioned yesterday that I hoped for FDT's appearance on Meet the Press to stop the steady decline of the past 2-1/2 weeks. Unfortunately, in the New York tri-state viewing area, the Marathon will preempt MTP's regularly scheduled time. The bad news is that MTP will air in New York at 8 a.m. instead of 10 a.m.; the good news is that because of the switch to Standard Time, enough people in the New York area still might catch it.
LOL, the Dems in Congress still rate the absolute lowest. Funny how the media tries to hide that.
Your theory of midweek down days and weekend up days is holding up today : )
Actually, with a four-day rolling average, today's number would have Sunday (10/28) "dropping off" the average.
Ping for chart update
If the President’s speech yesterday at the Heritage Foundation is any indication, W seems to be entering the public-opinion fray on the issue of Iraq. Better later than never. We can only hope that between that and our military’s successes in Iraq, Congress’ dismal ratings will continue to head south.
Welcome to FR!
Frankly, I doubt most folks "in the New York tri-state viewing area" care one way or another about Fred being on MTP. A leftwing bastion, populated by far too many liberals. No reason for them to be watching.
The only value to that theory right now, is not to panic on the down days. I still don’t know what it all means but I don’t intend to panic. Yet.
So we will see headlines tommorrow:
Support for Liberals Romney, Huckabee Dropping; Thompson Surging?
So as an Iowan, do you have insight as to why isn’t Fred doing better there?
Actually, with a four-day rolling average, today's number would have Sunday (10/28) "dropping off" the average.I not sure I understand your interpretation. Could you amplify that a bit?

Way too early to panic, especially when the post-election-day advertising blitz hasn’t even begun. Still, I find it very helpful to post poll results that cause me some concern and to talk through them with the help of the good folk on FR : )
So we will see headlines tommorrow: Support for Liberals Romney, Huckabee Dropping; Thompson Surging?If we do see that healine tomorrow, I think we can reasonably dismiss the source : )
What does it matter in NY?
I like your graphs a lot. As a bit of constructive criticism, I would darken McCain’s graphline and show more contrast between his and Huckabee’s.
Your graphs are going to be invaluable for measuring the effect of the yet-to-come advertising blitz. Thanks for posting them, and keep up the good work.
Last I heard, Mitt is leading in IA, NH and just recently tied for first in SC. This early, it’s the individual state polls that mean more than the national poll.
Fred may want to put out a commercial or two at this point. He has incredible on-camera presence, and a very photogenic family.
Truth be told, I just don't give a ratsass about what they do in IA and NH, they are not the rulers of America.
