Politics-Central: 2008 Presidential TOP 5 Power Rankings.


Here are Politics-Central's top 5 power rankings of presidential candidates for this week. Much has changed from our last power ranking. Bayh has quit and Edwards and Kucinich have joined. New polls are out as well.

Republicans

1st John McCain, has steamed back to the #1 slot by barely trailing Giuliani in GOP polls and demolishing Democrats in 2008 Match Up polls. However for the first time a democrat has beaten McCain in a poll. McCain is also strong in key primary states. McCain will likely gain in GOP numbers when Giuliani's liberal views come out. His age though ahs kept him from taking a bigger lead among candidates and has caused him to fall behind Giuliani in GOP polls.

2nd Rudolph Giuliani, still on top in GOP polls but is starting to drop in numbers among democarts against McCain. Once his liberal vies kick in he will fall behind quickly and quietly.

3rd Newt Gingrich, still gaining in GOP polls and is ahead of Romney. Romney will likely gain back numbers upon announcement of his campaign and Gingirch will fall when other candidates join the race.

4th Mitt Romney, is falling in numbers and is in a distance 4th in most polls. He does poorly against Democrats and is big trouble. He needs a announcement buzz in order to get back in this race.

5th Sam Brownback, died down from his announcement that he was running for president and has started to slum in numbers. Brownback may do well in early primaries but is still trailing in polls.

Democrats

1st Hillary Clinton, is still gaining big time in numbers. She will likely form a campaign in janurary of next year. Look for her to also be the candidate to gaint he most from Bayh's exit.

2nd Barack Obama, has taken a huge dip in polls and is trailing Clinton by almost 20+ points. If Obama runs he betetr start now and get a boost with his announcement or he will lsoe for sure.

3rd John Edwards, come back down from his recent bounce and will join the campaign at the very end of the year. He has become the first democrat to beat McCain in a Match Up poll.

4th Al Gore, still considered a possible candidate and has not ruled out a run for the white house. Gore should start his campaign soon if he wants a chance again.

5th: John Kerry, has come back into the top 5 after his pre-election slipshould die out quickly. If he wanted to run you would of thought that he would announced by now.
