   When you look at the top level numbers, it doesn’t look particularly positive for Romney. However (and I know I’ll be jumped on for this by the MittSlammers), it reinforces the observation that Giuliani and McCain have pretty much gotten their message out while Romney has yet to do so (54% haven’t heard enough). If form holds, as he does that his support rises significantly.

   Rudy is a national celebrity and McCain ran well in 2000. Last year Romney had as much name ID as Tancredo and Hunter. Fred is on TV. Romney is the only “no-name” to break into the top tier this race. He did it by raising more money than Rudy. That got people’s attention.

   For the record, if Mitt wins Iowa and New Hampshire followed by Michigan he will be the next US president.

   nate, you could make that argument that he will be the nominee. That argument says nothing about the general election.

   It says everything about the general. Hillary will get the nomination. At that point there will not be one single republican at home on election night. You will see an all time high in voter turn out.

   And for the record, I dispute that argument. All Rudy needs is to win 1 state before FL, to keep Floridians comfortable with sticking with Rudy. And that’s enough to keep CA and IL with Rudy on Mega Tuesday, along with NY, NJ, CT and DE, which are givens. Game over.

   I predict Rudy will win more than 1 state before FL.

   nate, no, “It” does not say everything about the general. You’re making a new, unrelated argument. And that argument is disproven by head-to-head polling. Rudy’s the strongest against Hillary, and even he’s behind:

   The RCP polls are a bit premature considering the general election is next year. Right now it’s a name ID pop quiz.

   Metro,

   All you have to do is look at the underlying “haven’t heard enough” numbers from this poll to realize how useless head-to-head polling is at this point. They’re nothing more than a beauty contest of nationally known names.

    Giuliani has higher negatives among Republicans than Romney? Something smells fishy…

    Metro,
    So you’re sticking with your 1-state-before-Florida argument? As we’ve discussed before, there will be 6 states before Florida, anbd you’re saying that if Romney wins only 5 out of the 6, Rudy’s the nominee? For the sake of argument I’ll accept your silly premise. Name the state! And if you name any state besides South Carolina, you’re delusional. Rudy could win SC, although if Fred doesn’t win it he’ll be out of the race before Super Tuesday.
