Thompson passes McCain in Bloomberg poll!
At least one poll last week had Fred Thompson challenging John McCain for second place in the 2008 GOP political derby. But now, a Bloomberg poll has FDT passing McCain and taking over second place.
Since first place is occupied by RINO Rudy Giuliani, whose support among caucus and primary voters will evaporate the instant his positions on abortion and other social issues become widely known- the new poll effectively makes Thompson- as yet an undeclared candidate- the front runner!
Giuliani has 29% in the survey of probable GOP primary voters. Thompson has 15%, and McCain has 12%.
Mitt Romney is fourth with eight percent. There can be no real doubt that the "Big Three" are really Giuliani, McCain and Thompson- and that of the three, Thompson is the guy with the best shot once the candidates and their positions become better known. The nomination is virtually his for the asking.
And for what it's worth, an overnight survey of GOP activists shows Fred Thompson with a commanding lead in the race for the 2008 nomination.
Members of GOPUSA's Grassroots Survey Team give FDT 36% of the vote. In second place is former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, with 18%. Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani each have eight percent; John McCain is nowhere to be seen.
Reinforces my long-held conviction that the media-hyped lead for Giuliani and McCain in the polls won't hold up once the highly-motivated party activists who are so influential in the nominating process are the ones doing the choosing.
It's also revealing that FDT not only dominates the poll, but has a two-to-one lead over his nearest rival, Gingrich!
