Rasmussen Poll: Giuliani 25% McCain 17% Thompson 16%
8 May 2007Thompson is gaining amazingly in the latest Rasmussen poll of the GOP field.
________
2008 Republican Presidential Primary
The race for the Republican Presidential nomination is getting closer. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani remains on top, but his lead has fallen to single digits.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows Giuliani at 25%, eight points more than Arizona Senator John McCain’s 17%. Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson has not entered the race, but is just a single point behind McCain. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is at 12%, the only other candidate in double digits. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich remains in fifth place with 8% support.
Giuliani leads Thompson by four points among men and leads McCain by ten points among women.
It is interesting to note that 38% of Republican Primary Voters either express no preference or are supporting a candidate not in the running at this time (Gingrich or Thompson). That is just one indicator of how wide open the race for the GOP nomination remains.
Last week, Giuliani led McCain and Thompson by 16 percentage points.
