First Post-Thompson Florida Poll Out

...and it's got Romney with a very slight lead.

Public Policy Polling - January 23rd, 2008

In a poll taken the night of Fred Thompson’s announcement that he is dropping out of the race for President, Mitt Romney took the lead in Florida’s Republican primary, according to the newest survey by Public Policy Polling.

Romney is at 28% in the poll, closely followed by John McCain at 25%. Rudy Giuliani and Mike Huckabee are further back at 19% and 15% respectively. 8% of the state’s voters remain undecided.

Accurate? Who knows. I don't quite believe any of the polls that have McCain or Romney 4-5 points ahead. I also think Giuliani will do a bit better than a lot of polls are suggesting; possibly even breaking 20%. Polling is one thing, but you have to figure his ground operation is pretty good given all the time he's spent there. His support has dropped, but you'd better believe he's got superior mechanisms for getting them to the polls.
