27% of Republicans have an unfavorable opinion of Fred Thompson? Who are those people? Diehard Romney-supporters?

That does seem a bid odd/ high… maybe the poll includes Republican leaning independants?

Fred’s unfavorables among Republicans shot way up. Fox News is surely working its Magic.

Run Rudy run. Let’s win this thing.

Sean (#2), no it is not independents. There are 2 or 3 state polls, including the SC, that shows Fred gained more independents than other candidates, even than Rudy! Rudy has highest rate of evangelical support than Fred (and every other candidate for this matter). I think people are upset with Fred for his waiting too long.

My gosh! If this isn’t the clearest sign of all that Rudy should be the GOP nominee, I don’t what is?? This is the first time, that I’m aware of, of Rudy ahead of Hillary nationwide in this poll.
Go Rudy!!

Oh my gosh! Eric, you cannot see where Hillary and Rudy have come from? Rudy is virtually known by everyone, and he is associated with the most terrible day in the history of our country – against civilians, that is. So, yes, Rudy will do well, because of that image, period. The other candidates, like Fred and Romney, are barely known by more than 60% of people. Then, we can question what they actually know, because in one of the polls a month or so ago, only less than 1/3 could identify that Rudy was the pro-choice candidate. The rest could not. So, there is so much the common voters do not know about anyone, really. And they won’t until a couple of weeks at most before the election (be it primary or general).
