The Attacks Came Down, and the Polls Went Up

Today's Rasmussen daily tracking poll shows Gov. Huckabee increasing his front-runner status by one percentage point. Here is the breakdown:

  1. Mike Huckabee: 22%
  2. Rudy Giuliani: 18%
  3. Mitt Romney: 13%
  4. John McCain: 12%
  5. Fred Thompson: 9%

It is likely that these numbers have yet to account for any potential shifts in support since the heavy attacks against the Governor that began on Wednesday. Next week's numbers should give a better idea of how that criticism has affected the Governor's support
