Here are these weeks presidential power rankings. No real major changes or surprises.
Republicans:
1st: Rudolph Giuliani (rising) the surprise of his jumping into the racegave him the momentum for the week and he has bagen to distance himself from McCain in polls. Also many republicans don't know about his weakness, social issues. Giuliani is very liberal, with Pro-choice, Pro-gun control, and Pro-gay marriage views. Giuliani could get away with becoming one of the most liberal candidates slected by the GOP. Giuliani's financial base continues to lead the field as well.
2nd: John McCain (steady) McCain continues to lag in polls and in media spotlight to Giuliani. McCain however already has the endorsement support and his organization and planning could help him regain the lead.
McCain's numbers in NH are slipping and he is now considered tied to Giuliani there.
3rd: Mitt Romney (rising) One poll out of NH has Romney tied with 20% fir 2nd with Giulian which is strongest shwoing in any poll. Romney's endorsement support, support in media attention and his numbers are rising and he could become another "comeback kid".
4th: Newt Gingrich (steady) Gingrich remains in double digits and is tied for 2nd in some states with McCain. We will continue to post Gingrich stong if his numbers remain high, even if it looks as if he wont run.
5th: Chuck Hagel (steady) His polling among nationwide polls is low but his numbers in key states is impressive considering he is embattling the biggest names in the GOP.
Democrats
1st: Hillary Clinton (steady) Clinton's numbers are regainign and her lead remains in the double digits nationwide. Her numbers are lagging in Iowa and New Hampshire, but they could comenack up with her recent campaigning trips to those states.
2nd: Barack Obama (steady) After recieving better poll numbers in states he regains his standing as the #2 man, but currently in polls he isn't winning any state in polls while Edwards has 2 under his belt and Hillary had 20+.
3rd: John Edwards (rising) Edwards remains very strong in Iowa with a double digit lead in most polls and is considered liley to take or do well in South Carolina, a state he won in 2004. This could give him Kerry's momentum back in 2004 to upset Hillary and Obama.
4th: Bill Richardson (steady) Richardson's experience as a mmber of the president's cabinet, US Ambassador to the UN, and a successful two term governorsip could give him the edge soon.
5th: Joe Biden (falling) Biden's poor announcement day mishap really hurt him, but I don't feel it killed his chances.
