I guess the Fred Express has not derailed Rudy yet.
Do they poll Republicans, or likely voters, or anybody with a phone?
The survey of 394 Republicans and voters who "lean" Republican has a margin of error of +/- 5 percentage points.
I'm not sure I'd place too much stock in it.
Anyway, national polls this early don't mean very much. They mostly just reflect name recognition, especially among people who only "lean" republican. Chances are most of those people aren't paying much attention yet.
Also, the last 2 Rasmussen polls have a slight lead for Thompson.
In the battle of the Fruitloops, Kucinich is stomping Ron Paul 2% to 0%. LOL
Unless they showed Thompson in the lead......
Sounds about right
Rasmussen's been polling people who are likely to vote in the primaries.
In a field of 13 Thompson (not even a declared candidate) beats everyone except one liberal. Sounds like the Thompson express is right on track to me.
Let’s see where he stands once he declares, and once the field starts to be cleared.
He’s doing fine for an undeclared guy. It disturbs me to see Rudy back up to 30% though.
“Paul 0%”
Let me (I hope) be the first to say, BBBBBBBBBBWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
ahem...sorry for that outburst.
How long until you are called the enemy of freedom? LOL
“The survey of 394 Republicans and voters who “lean” Republican has a margin of error of +/- 5 percentage points.”
“I’m not sure I’d place too much stock in it.”
It’s a state by state issue, and what sort of values those states enspouse. I think Rudy is a huge gamble on the party’s existance....could he win...maybe...but I’m not sure the GOP wants to lose out on many conservatives whom I know will bail.
But don’t you know, Ron Paul’s gonna win !!!!
(insert Howard Dean scream here)
Seriously, he has to realize he’s running in the wrong party.
So it’s a statistical tie, eh? And they polled an average of ~8 people per state, none of whom were identified as likely voters.
No poll tells us too much at this early stage, but this poll tells us exactly nothing.
No one in this poll went up or down, statistically. The margin of error is +/-5; comparisons to last month's survey are below. Given that they didn't poll likely voters, and no candidate's support changed at all, I think all we can glean here is that people aren't paying attention yet.
Giuliani has the support of 30% of "Republicans and Republican leaners," vs. 28% a month ago; Thompson comes in with 20%, vs. 19% in June; McCain has 16%, vs. 18% a month earlier. Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney remains in fourth, at 9% vs. 7% in June.
