Thompson: "Wrong Answer"

Fred Thompson has some thoughts on Hillary: I've mentioned it before, but Fred does very well in this kind of informal chat video, which is not really an ad. But what if this is what Fred's ads will look like?...



SC Poll: Romney Rises, Hillary Leads

New Winthrop /ETV poll in South Carolina (Oct 7-28, 522 likely GOP primary voters, MoE 4.29%, and 534 likely Democratic primary voters, MoE 4.24%). The big news in the poll comes on the Republican side, where Romney, Giuliani and Thompson are in a statistical tie for the lead, with nearly 1 in 3 likely primary voters still undecided:

Republicans
Thompson 17.9
Giuliani 16.5
Romney 16.5
McCain 9.2
Huckabee 5.4
Paul 2.1
Undecided 29.9

On the Democratic side, Clinton has expanded her lead over Barack Obama to 10 points but, as with the GOP, nearly 1 in 3 Dem primary voters remain undecided:

Democrats
Clinton 33.0
Obama 22.7
Edwards 9.6
Biden 2.4
Undecided 29.6

Other notables: 66.4% of GOP primary voters say their party should make a "special effort" to reach out to black and Hispanic voters, and of that group a full 47% said the GOP is currently not doing enough to reach out to minority voters. 62% of Republicans approve of the job President Bush is doing, 87.9% of Democrats disapprove.

In a head-to-head match up between Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Clinton, 7.6% of Democrats would cross over to vote for Rudy versus only 5.1% of Republican crossing for Hillary, a net 2.5% gain for Giuliani. However, that gain would be offset by the fact that more than 1 in 10 Republicans (11.2%) said they would vote for "neither" candidate or plain "wouldn't vote" in a Rudy-Hillary scenario, while only 4.9% of Democrats indicated they would do the same.
