RUDY GETS HIS GROOVE BACK
The latest poll has Rudy at 38, McCain at 16, Gingrich at 10, Thompson at 10, and Romney at 6.
Â
Here are the last four Gallup Poll readings — the four surveys after Rudy announced he was running and spurted ahead of McCain:
Â
Rudy’s vote share:Â Â
Â
Feb 9-11Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 40%
March 2-4Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 44%
March 23-25Â Â Â Â Â 31%Â (the first poll to include Thompson)
April 2-5Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 38%
Â
After a bit of a fall in the late March poll, which may have been a statistical aberation, Rudy goes back to hovering in the 40% range in the latest survey.
Â
Meanwhile, McCain continues to fade:
Â
McCain’s vote share:
Â
Feb 9-11Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 24%
March 2-4Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 20%
March 23-25Â Â Â Â Â Â 22%Â (the first poll to include Thompson)
April 2-5Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 16%
Â
At the moment, Rudy’s vote exceeds the votes of McCain, Gingirch, and Thompson combined.
