Rudy on a Roll in SC

For weeks bloggers and the news media have placed Rudy's tombstone in South Carolina, still believing that social conservatives will never support him. Well SCIndex released a poll yeasterday and here are the results:
Rudy-29%
McCain- 16%
Mitt Romney- 8%

Well it looks like the only way Romney is going to win is if he pays everyone in the state to vote for him.

California=Rudyfornia

A new SurveyUSA Poll is out of California tonight and it is very good news for Rudy, after his solid first quarter numbers. The best part is that there is only a 16 undecided, which showed that the field is starting to stabilize. Remember CA is now part of Super Tuesday.

Republicans
Giuliani 43 (trend vs. March 5 poll = +2)
McCain 24 (+1)
Romney 7 (-1)
Gingrich 10 (-2)

Also a Florida poll came out recently

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.
