Daily Presidential Tracking Poll

Friday, November 9th

[SNIP]

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Mike Huckabee back in single digits and Ron Paul gaining another percentage point of support in the very unsettled race for the Republican Presidential Nomination. Rudy Giuliani remains on top with 23% support from Likely Republican Primary voters nationwide. Fred Thompson earns 16% of the vote followed by John McCain at 13% and Mitt Romney at 11%. Mike Huckabee is now the top pick for 9% while Ron Paul’s support has inched up to 6%. No other Republican tops 1% (see recent daily numbers).

The muddled state of the GOP race may reflect growing frustration with the available choices. Rudy Giuliani is now viewed favorably by just 63% of GOP voters, matching his lowest rating of the year. Mitt Romney, who has a growing lead in New Hampshire, is viewed favorably by 54% of Republican voters nationwide, his lowest rating in several months. Fred Thompson is viewed favorably by 53%, his lowest total ever.

Bucking the trend is John McCain, now viewed favorably by 60% of GOP voters, near the high end of his measured support this year. McCain, however, also boasts very high unfavorable ratings among GOP voters--36%. Only Ron Paul, at 43% has higher unfavorable in the GOP field. Twenty-two percent (22%) of Republicans have a favorable opinion of the Congressman from Texas. Finally, Mike Huckabee’s numbers remained stable this week at 46% favorable, but 29% don’t know enough to offer any opinion at all (see history of favorable ratings for the candidates among all voters and among Republican voters.)

I think McCain will be Rudy’s running mate as v.p.

‘The muddled state of the GOP race may reflect growing frustration with the available choices.’

Just as likely its expressing ‘growing frustration’ with being polled every twenty seconds right now by various organizations.

This is a national name recognition poll, still. The vast vast majority of Americans are not even remotely tuned in to the presidential race yet.

The individual state polls for the early states tell the true tale of who is the most likely nominee best able to orchestrate victory for the general election. At this point in the process, the measurement is of energy and competence.

Not quite true. In the recent poll of Hillary vs. Rudy on FR, 50.7% would not vote for either. There are a lot of people that will not vote for either candidate when presented Dim vs. Dim in the general election.

I hope all of them stay in the race all the way to next summer. Then the GOP can have a brokered convention, just like the olden days. High drama, smoke filled back rooms, big TV ratings. Great stuff.

There's always Monday. I'd love to see the thread next week if McCain & Thompson are tied for 15 on any given day next week. Or what if Rooooooon Paaaaaaaaul ties for Huckabee at 9?

Or how about this, what if [insert candidate name here] has a "Dean scream" incident in the next 30 days?

Why are ALL the candidates having low approval ratings now?

I don't want to be facetious but the reason is that they all "suck". With all the crap taking place in the Mideast and with Hillary looming on the horizon, the conservative cause doesn't have a single world class candidate. Second stringers, all!!!

Fred is a world-class candidate. People just need to open their eyes.

“I think McCain will be Rudy’s running mate as v.p.”

Cool. I can NOT vote for BOTH of them at the same time, LOL!

I’d worry that a “smoky back room” type convention would guarantee an Establishment RINO. Like Rudy.

Again I ask, where is the poll at this link:

Here’s one showing Fred at 6%, and discussing why.

I will not unite behind some of the Republican candidates if they win, most notably Rudy.

Same here. I also couldn't get behind Ron Paul.

Actually, that’s the beauty of that idea. Then we conservatives would know for certain that it’s the PARTY that’s turning its back on us, rather than just a lot of stupid primary voters.
