The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that Fred Thompson is enjoying a bounce from his formal entry into the Presidential race.

In the race for the Republican Presidential Nomination, Thompson is on top for the first time since late July. The former Tennessee Senator is currently the top choice for 26% of Likely Republican Primary Voters. Rudy Giuliani, who has been the frontrunner for most of the year, is close behind with support from 22%. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney earns the vote from 13% while 12% prefer Arizona Senator John McCain. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee remains atop the second tier at 6% (see recent daily numbers).

1. How many vacation days would the lazy, "I'm exhausted" Thompson take?
Inquiring minds want to know.

12. -->Bush has taken 418 days off for vacation
Bush is on track to break the Ronald Reagan’s record for taking the most paid time off on your dime.

15. Thompson is really going for the Reagan angle in this race.
He's a B-grade "actor" and a right wing tool who takes most of his time off. Lazy is one of the kinder words to describe both of those assh**les!

2. I say good. Thompson is an extreme right winger
guilliani can pass himself off as a moderate in some areas. Thompson can't

4. snip
Margin of sampling error for each is +/- 4 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.

The headline is misleading--they should be announcing a tie.

7. I've been saying for months "Don't underestimate Thompson."

He may be the GOP nominee.

10. I wouldn't count on that, either. Nobody thought

Reagan could win. Or Dubya. Image is everything. I could never see much to either of them, image-wise, but others liked them, obviously. :shrug:

8. The rethugs seem to always go for actors.
Which proves they endorse artifice.

13. That's because they are there to ACT like a real President
Thompson doesn't have the phony charisma of Reagan. He's their strongest candidate IMO, but that's not saying much. Hillary Clinton could still beat him IMO.
