Giuliani Notes: Rudy 25% McCain 23% Thompson 13% Romney 10% in Latest Gallup/Opinion Research Poll

Poll: Giuliani, McCain lead the pack

A year and a half before the 2008 presidential election, Rudy Giuliani and Sen. John McCain are leading the Republican pack, according to a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation Poll out Monday.

Asked whom they would most likely support for the Republican nomination, 25 percent of people who identified themselves as Republicans or leaning Republican cited the former mayor of New York and 23 percent cited the senator from Arizona.

The poll is here.

In this poll, when Fred Thompson is excluded the Mayor leaps to a 5 point lead.  When Newt Gingrich is excluded, then the Mayor’s lead shrinks to one point over McCain and Fred Thompson leaps to 15 points.

So, will Thompson get in and will Romney be able to stay in?

Here are the national GOP Real Clear Politics averages:
