Ras Poll: Romney only 3% behind McCain

(Go Mitt!!! He wouldn't win his homestate, he has flip flopped on every position he has had, his religion will lose him some votes, and though he is an ok speaker, he says some pretty bizarre things.

Dame Rudy 26%, McCain 18%, Romney 15%, Fred Thompson 14%

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows little change at the top of the Republican Presidential field, but former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has gained some ground on the frontrunners.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani remains on top with support from 26% of those likely to vote in a Republican Primary. Arizona Senator John McCain remains in second with 18%. Last week, Giuliani led McCain by seven points, 25% to 18%.

The potentially big change is that Romney has inched into third place with 15%. That’s just a single point ahead of former Senator Fred Thompson, but it’s also the first time Romney has moved ahead of Thompson since the TV star’s name first entered the race. It will take another week or two to know whether the change is significant or merely statistical noise. It’s also worth noting that Romney is within three percentage points of McCain (news reports suggest that McCain dissed Romney in a conference call with bloggers over the weekend).

1. Mittens, I'm proud of you! Thompson isn't going to be coronated--

he and Mittens will slug it out, and Mittens will win, because he's a ruthless, deep-pocketed SOB, who really REALLY wants to be Prez. I'm just not sure he'd be the easiest for us to beat.
