Latest CNN Poll Shows Tightening
Ex-NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani leads Sen. John McCain by three points in the latest CNN presidential preference poll. That's with both Fred Thompson and Newt Gingrich in the race.
Without Gingrich, Giuliani's lead increases to six points -- 30 to 24. Without Fred Thompson. Giuliani leads 31 to 26. It seems to us that in CNN's samples, McCain's floor is around 23 or 24%. (The Los Angeles Times had McCain in the teens last week, FYI).
The upshot:

Fred Thompson has not officially entered the race. We believe that once he announces, he will be at the top of the polls.
He's a man of integrity and character and should he decide to run, he'll do well.

+- 5% with no sample size documented. This poll belongs in the trashbin. Anyone who has ever taken a statistics class is laughing with me.

My money is on Mitt Romney. His grassroots level organization is unsurpassed. He is rising in every poll...
