Politics Central Top 5 rankings!












Here are our top 5 presidential power rankings

Republicans:

1st(tied):Rudolph Giuliani, Still on top of McCain in GOP preference polls, and gaining in nationwide numbers as well. Giuliani is trailing McCain against democratic challengers and in the all-important New Hampshire Primary by double digits.

1st(tied):John McCain, Trailing Giuliani among the GOP still but will likely pull ahead int he weeks to come. He has now set up a team and will officially announce his candidacy in Jan of 2007. McCain is still doing better against Democratic candidates and in key primaries so that gives him the tie with Giuliani as the GOP frontrunners.

2nd: Newt Gingrich, has started to pass Romney in polls and is performing better than Romney in key states. Gingrich's small surge in numbers is ending and he will likely start to fall without any mention of him anywhere.

3rd: Mitt Romney, is currently falling in poll numbers both among GOP and against Dems. The new rising star Sam Brownback will also start to surge ahead of him and gain his momentum.

4th: Sam Brownback, has officially stated he will run for president and has formed an exploratory committee. This has given him a surge and could start going ahead of Romney and Gingrich, but will likely never even come close to the big GOP two.

5th: Chuck Hagel, In recent polling Hagel has started to surge ahead of Thompson, Huckabee and Pataki and the grassroots movements are starting to emerge. I feel Hagel is still a minor candidate, but is gaining. His average in polls right now is 3%, however in our poll he recieved 19%.

Democrats:

1st: Hillary Clinton, is rising and rising in polls and it seems no one can catch her. She defeats her nearest challenger by 15-20 points doubling their support. This huge surge maybe because of the buzz of her actually considering a bid and hiring a fundraiser. However her surge could end quickly and maybe if Al Gore jumps into the race she will fall in numbers, but as of now she is unbeatable.

2nd: John Edwards, has won back the 2nd place spot by now tieing or even beating Barack Obama in many new polls. Edwards is enjoying a small surge but is not enough to catch Clinton. He may have to settle for the VP slot again.

3rd: Barack Obama, he is currently falling in support since his announcement of interest in the 2008 race. He was in striking distance if Clinton and may have almost topped her, however he had taken a 10 point dip and has fallen behing Gore and Edwards in one poll. He still is in the race to be the alternative to Clinton but it looks like Edwards may take that away from him.

4th: Al Gore, Still hasn't completely ruled out a 2008 run but it is unlikely that he will run for president. If he ever does jump in look for it to be late in the campaign maybe even after NH and Iowa. Gore is now almost defeating Obama and if he does ruin he will surge ahead of Edwards and Obama and become the only alternative to Clinton.

5th: Evan Bayh, Joe Biden, John Kerry share the 5th spot with the three neck and neck with each other in polls and Kerry's falling in polls since his pre-election slip.
