Giuliani Notes: Rudy 34% McCain 20% Thompson 13% Romney 10%
The WaPO Analysis:
Former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani remains the leader in the GOP race, but the poll suggests that the surge in support he received after declaring his candidacy has stalled and that his backing of abortion rights and gay rights has caused more Republicans to turn away from him.
Sen. John McCain of Arizona runs second in the GOP race, but the poll results raise questions about his candidacy. Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, who has spent millions on television ads already this year, has in some ways become an attractive alternative over the past few months, and former senator Fred D. Thompson of Tennessee shows the potential to quickly make the GOP contest a four-way battle.
Frankly, after looking at the numbers Flap has a hard time understanding the WaPO’s thinking.
Rudy continues to lead in double digits and in many favorable characteristics. So, he is not leading as much? Before Thompson entered the race and Romney has run television commercials.
And these differences are STATISTICALLY significant?
Poor analysis from WaPO.
Rudy continues to be the frontrunner.
