Another Poll…
…, this time from Gallup, shows Thompson in an even stronger debut than the Zogby poll we highlighted earlier:
On the Republican side, former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson shook up the field when he said he would consider getting into the presidential race. These days, Thompson is familiar as the actor who plays District Attorney Arthur Branch on the NBC drama Law & Order.
Chosen by 12% of Republican and Republican-leaning voters, Thompson is third in the Republican field, jumping ahead of a half-dozen contenders. He trails former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, at 31%, and Arizona Sen. John McCain, at 22%. Former House speaker Newt Gingrich is at 8%.
But look at Romney:
Backing for former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney has dropped. He was chosen by 3%, the same as Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback. Romney’s support in early March had been 8%.
At this rate, he’ll soon be eclipsed by Ron Paul…
