Here are this week's presidential power rankings. To View other power rankings go to http://www.politicalderby.com/powerrankings, http://cgpolitics.blogspot.com/, http://thenextprez.blogspot.com/

Republicans
1st: John McCain (steady) The Senators popularity has grown recently in polls and on online rankings. However this might not last because of his strong support of the President's increasing in troops in Iraq. Also for the first time in months"The Next Prez" ranked McCain on top in their rankings

2nd: Rudy Giuliani (falling) Giuliani's surge has ended and is starting to lag in support since his leak of documents a week ago. Really it use to be Giuliani's to lose with his strong lead over McCain, but now they are tied.

3rd: Mitt Romney (rising) With the huge fundraising boost and DeMint's endorsement Romney had the start he needed to get back into this race. If some polls show is gaining is working he could actually have a shot again.

4th: Newt Gingrich (steady) Gingrich is doign well in polls, but hsi lack in campaigning has hurt him a little. Gingrich needs to announce sooner than Sept.

5th: Sam Brownback (falling) Brownback is lagging in support with Romney's boost. He still holds on to his Top 5 spot, but barely.

Democrats:

1st: Hillary Clinton (falling) still holding on to the top spot, but has yet to really say much about Obama's real challenge to her potential presidenital run.

2nd: Barack Obama (rising) Obama has been rising ever since that one polls showed him tied for the lead in Iowa. According to the last Gallup poll he moved up nationwide and now is in striking distance again of Clinton

3rd: John Edwards (steady) Hasn't recieved any boosts throughout the campaign. Edwards hasn't recieved too much support and many don't know he is even a candidate. Can he become a leader or will he be an also-ran.

4th: Joe Biden (steady) Biden is slowly gaining support online and around the country about the buzz that he will run for president.

5th Tied: Wesley Clark (steady) Clark hasn't said too much about the campaign, but he has overwhelming support online. He could make something out of this campaign.

5th Tied: John Kerry (steady) Kerry is averaging about 7% in polls so he barely holds on to a top 5 spot.
