Just the Numbers: Week 33

THE NUMBERS

Thompson's numbers skidded and did not recover after the Ames straw poll in Iowa. Romney and Huckabee both get a bump, but McCain does not - this is important, perhaps, for those thinking that Thompson may drop out. Giuliani continues front runner status.

Clinton appears to have pulled ahead in Iowa and this has pushed her decisively ahead in general, too, even where she had shown weakness against Giuliani in the past.

THE STRATEGIES

Gore has moved up to over 8.5% ahead of Edwards in the Dem nominee tables. Because it is highly improbable that Gore will campaign for the Presidency again, this seems like an opportunity to sell.
