Yah, Hunter, who’s not even at % in a GOP poll... You guys are nuts
We're months away from the general election.
I'm not even in favor of political selection activity taking place this close to that event.
Who knows what might emerge from this gaggle of unelectables. (and make no mistake, Rudy is unelectable.)
Hand the nation to Hillary and it makes it much more easier to take back the USA because even the tatooed, pierced Americans will be willing to come FAR RIGHT!
“Thompson’s recovered a couple of points lately, but his average over time is still not above Romney’s.”
Uh, Yes, his AVERAGE is well above Myth’s. And his daily’s and rolling will be again...soon!
Everyone thought the Fred would do much better in the polls after the endorsement. This is discouraging to say the least. What are we going to do?????
Yes but some here were thinking that he would overtake G. He has not and the endorsement might have been his best bet.
I thought I was the most optimistic by calling for FDT to be at 18% today, not to overtake Giuliani. The only way anyone is going to overtake Giuliani in the national polls is if the anti-Rudy voters unite behind a single candidate.
There are some very extreme dedicated fans of Fred. They were hoping for 20’s. I don’t know who will win, but this is very stressful.
His ten-day average is not above Romney's. It is clear from my post that is what I was saying. I was referring to the chart that depicted 10-period moving average. And your hope in Thompson is not well placed.
Sure it is. I have principles and a Love for my Country that you, as demonstrated by your choice of a lying RINO, don’t.
Relax. Iowa’s over six weeks away!
I think the below quote from another Rasmussen analysis today shows how muddy the situation is:
“Romney was the first out of the gate in the effort to become a conservative alternative to Giuliani. His campaign has successfully built leads and expectations in the early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire. But, he has failed to gain traction nationally and does poorly in Southern state general election match-ups.
Fred Thompson was thought for a time to be the great hope of Republican conservatives. His campaign has been routinely dissed and dismissed by political pundits and the former Tennessee Senator clearly failed to capture the opening available to him. However, he picked up a key endorsement last week from the National Right to Life Committee and continues to do fairly well in national polls. At the same time, he is doing poorly in Iowa and New Hampshire.
The failure of Romney and Thompson to clinch the conservative crown left an opening for a Mike Huckabee boomlet. Huckabee is making the most of it with a winning personality and has been in double digits now for several weeks. But, as soon as Huckabee’s visibility was raised, so were questions about his positions on taxes and immigration.
Things have been unsettled long enough so that even John McCain has re-entered the picture. It speaks to the weakness of the field that the Arizona Senator now believes he might become the conservative alternative to Giuliani. Given McCain’s history, it is not at all clear how conservatives would respond if the choice came down to McCain versus Giuliani.”
Folks - It is still up for grabs as to who will be the conservative challenge to Guiliani
It’s a ten-day moving average.
