Fred Thompson at 1 percent in New Hampshire

[JI7]

Obama, the first-term senator from Illinois who won last week's Iowa caucuses, led the New York senator and former first lady 39 percent to 29 percent in a poll conducted Saturday and Sunday -- a sharp change from a poll out Saturday that showed the Democratic front-runners tied at 33 percent.

Support for former Sen. John Edwards, who edged out Clinton for second place in Iowa, dropped from 20 percent in Saturday's poll to 16 percent.

On the Republican side, Sen.John McCain leads former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney by a narrower margin -- 32 percent to 26 percent, the survey found. Former Arkansas Gov.Mike Huckabee -- whose upset win in Iowa came after being outspent by millions of dollars by Romney -- passed former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani to gain third place.

In Saturday's poll, Giuliani had 14 percent and Huckabee had 11 percent; those numbers were reversed on Sunday.

The results suggest that Huckabee's win in Iowa, which saw him win strong support among evangelical Christian voters, is giving him momentum in more secular, libertarian-oriented New Hampshire, Schneider said.

Among other Republicans, anti-war Texas congressman and onetime Libertarian Party presidential nominee Ron Paul was in fifth place at 10 percent in the poll, with Rep. Duncan Hunter of California and former Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee both at 1 percent.

3. Ha!

[zabet]

2. Wow!

He is polling higher
than his heart rate!
:rofl:

4. If we can establish whether Thompson knows he's even in the race, we could

maybe gauge his disappointment with the likely outcome on Tuesday night.

Another fun result would be Paul outperforming Giuliani.

5. He's reached his peak! Look out momma she's gonna blow!

:dem:

6. An exact correlation to the amount of

effort he is putting in to this "adventure". :boring:

I think that Fred would shoot himself in the face, if it would get him out of this Presidentin' stuff.
It's quite obvious he is NOT enjoying it.

7. I want Rudy knocked out of this so bad.

But it is bad news if McCain makes the comeback.

9. i'm with him on immigration,

but the war. OMG. he doesn't think there would be a problem with bases in iraq for 100 years. he says we have them in so. korea, in germany. but john it's the mideast. they don't want us there. don't you remember why we were attacked on 9/11? because of our presence in saudi arabia. so what do we do. we invade iraq -- another muslim country. they don't want us there.

8. Glad to see him being crushed.

He was really the best hope for a unifying GOP candidate. There's no chance of that now.
