It’s not just Rasmussen. SurveyUSA and Strategic Vision are also out with new polls showing Giuliani’s lead evaporating in Florida. Though these polls don’t have him trailing (as Rasmussen did), his long-standing double digit lead is now just 5 points in SurveyUSA and 4 points in Strategic Vision. Needless to say, this is a most unwelcome development for Giuliani, as winning in Florida was a central part of his strategy. If his lead cannot withstand a Huckabee surge in December, how will it survive going 0-4 in the major nominating contests in January? No doubt, this is the most wild and unpredictable GOP primary season in decades, so anything can happen, and in a few weeks we could be writing about a much different narrative. But right now, things aren’t looking good for “America’s Mayor.”
