(H/T – RedState)
No, it’s not Tommy “The Other” Thompson. He got less than 1%.
Instead, in the freshest Rasmussen national poll, it’s Fred leading the pack with 28%, ahead of Rudy Giuliani’s 27%. This is only the second time somebody not “from” New York has led a Rasmussen poll; Barak Obama led Hillary Clinton at the end of April (4/30), only to lose the lead the next poll (5/7).
There are, of course, several caveats. The first is that Thompson has not yet announced, even though he now has an exploratory committee. The second is that this is a national poll, and the primaries (as well as the general election) are a series of state-by-state contests. Has anyone seen current numbers for Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, Wyoming, Florida and South Carolina (the first 6 GOP contests)?
