The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows Rudy Giuliani leading the race for the Republican Presidential Nomination with Mitt Romney now in second place nationally. Giuliani attracts 23% support from Likely Republican Primary voters nationwide while Romney attracts 15%. Mike Huckabee is the top choice for 13% while Fred Thompson and John McCain each earn 12% support. Ron Paul's is at 5% and no other Republican candidate reaches 2% (see recent daily numbers).
There is little change in the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. Hillary Clinton attracts 41% of Likely Democratic Primary Voters nationwide while Barack Obama earns the vote from 17%. John Edwards is the choice for 13%. Bill Richardson is supported by 5%, Joe Biden by 4%, and no other Democratic candidate tops 3% (see recent daily numbers).
Results for the Presidential Tracking Poll are obtained through nightly telephone interviews and reported on a four-day rolling average basis. Rasmussen Reports did not conduct survey interviews over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. As a result, roughly one-fourth of the interviews for today’s update were completed on Monday night and the rest were completed before Thanksgiving. Friday will be the first update based entirely on interviews conducted following the holiday weekend. Saturday will be the start of regular weekend updates and the Presidential Tracking Poll will now be updated seven-days-a-week.
Rasmussen Reports will release new polling data for Iowa and New Hampshire this week. Currently, Romney leads all Republicans in both Iowa and New Hampshire. Thompson and Romney are tied for the lead in South Carolina while Giuliani remains on top in Florida’s Republican Primary.
Among Democrats, the race in Iowa is very competitive between Clinton, Obama, and Edwards. Clinton has a ten-point lead over Obama in both New Hampshire and South Carolina. She also retains a twenty-five point lead over Obama in Florida.
The Rasmussen Reports Election 2008 Presidential Tracking Poll is updated daily, Monday through Friday. The Presidential Tracking Poll will be updated seven days a week beginning Saturday, December 1, 2007. Daily results are based upon a four day rolling average and new results are posted each day by noon Eastern.
Daily tracking results are from survey interviews conducted over four days ending last night. Each update includes approximately 750 Likely Democratic Primary Voters and 600 Likely Republican Primary Voters. Margin of sampling error for each is +/- 4 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.
Rasmussen Reports provides a weekly analysis of both the Republican and Democratic race each Monday.
Each Monday, full week results are released based upon a seven-day rolling average. While the daily tracking result are useful for measuring quick reaction to events in the news, the full week results provide an effective means for evaluating longer-term trends.
Fred was a federal prosecutor.
Get to know the man, you may like him...
“Fred was a federal prosecutor.”
I’m looking through his bio, and I don’t see where he was a prosecutor. Do you have a link?
I see where he was an Assistant US Attorney. Is that what you are referring to.
Mitt hasn't been directly working to bump up his numbers in the national polls but it appears that he's getting a modest boost nonetheless.
The charts also suggest that Huckabee's "surge" has topped out, perhaps as his Jimmy Carter-style southern-fried Christian Socialism has become more heavily publicized.
In the meantime, Giuliani clearly is using Huckabee to undermine Romney in Iowa in lieu of actually working for votes there himself. The conniving Huckabee is happy to oblige, for he covets Giuliani's VP slot.
Can you imagine Rudy's social liberalism wedded to Huckabee's fiscal liberalism? *Gag*
The most dramatic trend is Fred's continuing collapse. Most of his recently-departed support appears to have gone to Huckabee, which makes sense, unfortunately. I would take Fred over Huckabee any day.
About midway down, first thing I could snag on Google
I’d like to see a head to head poll between Rudy and Mitt.
Because one of those guys will be the nominee.
“About midway down, first thing I could snag on Google”
Thanks. I also found where he had prosecuted some cases as a US Attorney.
