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.
He’s also tied for second and third with the MOE. What’s your point?
Actually it was said plenty on other threads.
Nice try, Mitt-witt.
I'd love to watch you try to prove that.
For consistency sake, do you repeat this line every time a poll shows Fred in the lead?
Man that just slays me...
For consistency’s sake, I repeat it whenever I see a lie in the headline.
Romney, Huckabee, McCain and Thompson are tied for second (a three point margin with a four point margin of error).
Did you notice last night a Willardbot lied about Reagan’s service record? Said Reagan and Clinton were two recent presidents who never served in the military.
They will stop at nothing.
I wasn’t going to bother, but since you said it was a lie when it was the truth, I felt compelled.
Fred is tied for 4th. So of the five candidates above the 10% mark, he is tied for last.
Not a lie, it’s the literal truth.
RnR is correct that the bottom 4 are still within the margin of error of each other.
But it is clear that Rasmussen isn’t detecting a bump in the polls for Thompson.
On the other hand, I believe we are no longer expecting a bump for Thompson. The NLRC endorsement is instead going to provide an organization and grass-roots support for Fred.
Which can’t hurt him.
Dismiss the polls as meaningless, find polls that are more favorable to your candidate, spin them all you like.
But it’s just wrong and a bit desperate-sounding to say someone is lying when they are telling the truth.
Oh there’s a plan... good. I’ve seen very few actual plans about how to actually win primaries but I have seen lots of hopes.
Adorable...
Statistically, Romney, Huckabee, McCain and Thompson are tied for second.
That's almost exactly what you are doing now.
Go ahead flame away.
Oh there is a plan. Unique and a bit risky, but the prototype worked out pretty damn good...
You noticed that too?
No flame needed.
But it does help assess your comments...
Why? I’ll be serious a moment. No flaming, just tell me why you’d support Rudy.
McCain I could see an argument for, but Rooty Tooty?
Got a link? I’d like to see that.
Are you going to keep being mysterious or enlighten folks?
