2 New Polls

Two new polls came out, one is a insiders poll from the National Journal and the other is a straw poll from Ohio.

The insider poll asked 82 beltway democrats who would be the strongest Republican in the general election. The results:
March 2007 December 2006
Rudy 39% Rudy 12%
Romney 20% Romney 11%
McCain 17% McCain 73%
Thompson 9% Thompson 0%

Then in Ohio the Summit County party’s annual Lincoln Day Dinner held a straw poll of the 752 guests.
The Results:

Rudy Giuliani - 31%
John McCain - 26%
Fred Thompson - 12%
Mitt Romney - 8%

While not a scientific poll, I think it adds to the mounting evidence that Thompson candidacy would be devastating to Romney.
