Rudy Continues to Lead in National GOP Polls
Cross Posted from the FullosseousFlap's Dental Blog
The Latest Real Clear Politics GOP National Poll Averages continue to have Mayor Giuliani leading:
The Polls:
The trend-line Graph:
With Rudy continuing to hold onto a precarious lead in national GOP polling, the meteroic rise of Fred Thompson and the early poll leads in Iowa and New Hampshire by Mitt Romney, will the Mayor change strategies and REALLY contend in the early states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada?
Or, will the Mayor hope that Romney and Thompson divide votes between the early states and rely on his voter strength in Florida and then move on to Super Tuesday?
Flap hypothesizes the Mayor will bombard Florida with a television/radio media campaign and ignore the early states, hoping to run second or third. With so little time between the contests it would be a crap-shoot for Hizzoner to waste resources on organizing the early states and neglecting the later February 5 contests - particularly California.
Now, the Mayor will continue to fundraise and watch Thompson and Romney duke it out for second place over the summer.
McCain is done because of his position on the Senate illegal immigration bill and his money will DRY UP. Flap predicts he will be out by Labor Day - probably a health excuse.
Stay tuned……

SUMMARY: Unless something changes, Clinton will win the Democratic party nomination, Romney (!) will win several states that vote in January, but Super Tuesday (Feb. 5), which includes California and New York (Giuliani strongholds) will probably decide the Republican party nomination (Thompson is an X-factor).
I think Iowa (Jan. 14), Michigan (Jan. 15), South Carolina (Jan. 19/29), Nevada (Jan. 19), New Hampshire (Jan. 22, but could move up), Florida (Jan. 29), California (Feb. 5) and New York (Feb. 5) will likely determine the Presidential candidates for November 2008. The Georgia Republican and Democratic primaries are February 5, 2008, and could be key in the GOP nomination. The Virginia and D.C. Republican and Democratic primaries are February 12, 2008, and may be a factor in the GOP nomination if Super Tuesday doesn't produce a front-runner. The Massachusetts and Texas Republican and Democratic primaries are March 4, 2008.
I have been following the state-by-state polling using a Wikipedia site that collects and tracks such data (sources for all polls are fully attributed). (FYI, I'm the "chart guy" on these sites.) I provide my personal observations of the trends for each race below.
REPUBLICANS
====Iowa====
Romney has a solid 15 point lead on everyone else, and about 30-35% of voters are still undecided.
