Thanks to one of our most eagle-eyed readers I’ve now got the full numbers for that new Florida poll put out by the Miami-Herald and a couple other Florida papers. Another poll out this afternoon from Public Policy Polling showed Romney vaulting ahead of McCain (28% to 25%) in the aftermath of Fred Thompson’s withdrawal from the race.
This latest one has McCain 25%, Romney 23%, Giuliani 15%, Huckabee 15%, Undecided 13%, Fred Thompson 4%, Ron Paul 3%.
This poll, like the PPP poll, was taken after Fred’s departure, though it’s worth keeping in mind that he will still be on the ballot. So perhaps he’ll draw some small number of votes.
What catches my eye here is that there is a very real chance that Rudy will come in fourth in Florida. On the positive side for Rudy, he’s beating Undecided, Ron Paul and Fred Thompson, though Thompson’s no longer being in the race and Undecided’s not being a candidate puts them both at a serious disadvantage.
