I see that Rasmussen is out with a new poll, showing Fred
Thompson maintaining his 3 point lead over Rudy nationally, while Mitt Romney continues to be
strong in New Hampshire, up 9 points.
It's interesting that we're beginning to see a divergence in some of the polls, the recent CNN
and FoxNews polls, for instance, had Rudy up by double digits,
while the Cook/RT Strategies poll had him tied with McCain. I'll
leave it to others to fight over which poll has the better
methodology. Right now, by general belief is that the race is
unsettled, and will be until Thompson formally enters and we find
out whether he's the real deal, or just a lot of hype.
