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.
Romney retains and strengthens his 2nd place position as Thompson dives to a tie for last place among the 5 frontrunner candidates. The increase in support expected after Thompson was endorsed by the NRLC has failed to materialize. Huckabee and McCain hold steady.
Meanwhile Pissant was encouraged by Rep. Duncan Hunter’s surge up to less than 2%.
Just another meaningless national poll that NO BEARING on the actual selection process of the primary race. In other words Rudy gets no conservative votes which is what you need to win the primary.
Fred’s tied for third, second with the margin of error, nice spin, Spiff.
Didn’t Pissant get banned?
Sorry, should have pinged you...
Fred’s numbers are going down faster than a Clinton intern.
See Kerry/Dean/Clark chart for info.
No, just suspended. At least I talked to him last Wednesday.
Droppin' faster than Clinton's trousers...
Most significant line, “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.”
Ok, You can never tell and I haven’t checked his profile lately after that little fiasco a couple of weeks ago.
I just check his profile, piss is still with us. I missed that little fiasco, can you tell me what happened?
“See Kerry/Dean/Clark chart for info.”
Anything IS possible in politics. I just don’t see a Dean scream scenario for either Romney or Gulliani.
Faster than Romney throwing Rush Limbaugh under the bus, after Romney fell for the “phoney soldiers” story, even!
But not as fast as Romney’s constant switching to and from pro-abortion, anti-gun, pro-gay, and pro socialized medicine!
Yawn...
Not even in the margin of error...
Why do you keep trying to sell this guy on a Conservative site?
“Faster than Romney throwing Rush Limbaugh under the bus, after Romney fell for the “phoney soldiers” story, even!

Just as long as his poll numbers don’t go down.
