Fred Thompson Leads Polls In NC

Raleigh Chronicle Staff & Wire Reports, June 7, 2007: RALEIGH - In a surprising development, a Republican presidential candidate who hasn't even officially announced his candidacy yet is leading polls of Republican voters in North Carolina. If a vote were held today for the Republican primary, former US Senator Fred Thompson of Tennessee would be leading the way among all candidates in the party, says Public Policy Polling which is located in Raleigh.
According to the report, Thompson's support jumped from 25% of likely Republican voters in May to 37% in this month's poll, while Rudy Giuliani's support fell to 25%. The poll said that John McCain and Mitt Romney both were tied with 14%.
