Giuliani Notes: Rudy 28% McCain 15% Thompson 12% Romney 10%
Rasmussen Reports: 2008 Republican Presidential Primary
Last week, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Arizona Senator John McCain both gained support in the race for the GOP nomination. This week, the top four contenders all lost ground. But, through it all, Giuliani remains on top with a double digit lead.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national poll shows Giuliani with 28%, thirteen points more than McCain’s total of 15%. Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson remains undeclared but in third place with 12% support. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney remains slightly behind Thompson at 10%.
The stability in the GOP competition stands in stark contrast to the Democrats where Illinois Senator Barack Obama has gained ground steadily and is now tied with New York Senator Hillary Clinton.
The GOP NUTS:
Rudy – 28%
McCain – 15%
Thompson – 12%
Romney – 10%
Rudy leads in the favorability/unfavorability polls:
Rudy – 58%/38%
McCain – 55%/39%
Thompson – 35%/27%
Romney – 32%/44%
The GOP field poll numbers have stabilized and Giuliani is clearly established as the front-runner.
Watch for Rudy to be attacked by the field next Thursday at the GOP debates held at the Ronald Reagan Library in California.
