Its that time to post my end of the month Presidential Rankings. This includes every announced candidate running for president or possible contenders. Vilsack won't be included since he ended his campaign today.
Republicans
1st: Rudolph Giuliani (steady) Lead remains high in nationwide polls, but his organization in key early states is poor. He may lose key staes and throw his campaign out the door.
2nd John McCain (steady) McCain remains steady in polls, but his support among states in IA and NH remains strong. He has slipped in polls, but this can be expected since he has rarley campaigned.
3rd: Mitt Romney (rising) More polls in New Hampshire show a a strong Romney showing. He is now well known and could become a serious player with climbing numbers.
4th: Newt Gingrich (steady) Gingrich numbers are slowly starting to fall as Romney's rise. He will likely not run for president in 2008 with falling support.
5th: Chuck Hagel (steady) Hagel has yet to stae whether he is running, but his numbers in Iowa are doing very well for a long shot so this earns him a top 5 spot.
6th: Sam Brownback (steady) Brownbak remains in the top 5 in polls, but his support in key states remains at a steady 1%
7th: Mike Huckabee (steady) Huckabee is a long shot, but experts predict he is the most liely darkhorse as a Fmr. Governor and we rank him #1 or #2 as a chose for VP.
8th: Jim Gilmore (steady) Being a governor and having conservative views could sway voters over. Don't count Gilmore out yet.
9th: Tommy Thompson (steady) His support in Iowa is growing and he is getting a fundraising base. He could be a strong candidate.
10th: George Pataki (falling) It isn't likely Pataki will run so he we rank him very low.
11th: Duncan Hunter (steady) Hunter is really known so he will remain near the bottom.
12th: Tom Tancredo (falling) Tancredo is still trying to revive himself from his remarks made earlier in the campaign. I don't look for him to revive.
13th: Ron Paul (steady) His radical Libertarian views and his unpopularity isn't helping his campaign.
Democrats
1st: Hillary Clinton (steady) Clinton has risen in National polls, but has fallen in key states, so she remains at a steady pase.
2nd: Barack Obama (steady) Obama is gorwing in support slowly, and could pull off early wins in NH and SC. Obama is I believe the most successful black candidate for president.
3rd: John Edwards (rising) Edwards's polls in IA are strong and he is the strongest candidate in GOP match-up polls. Edwards we believe seems to be the most electable Democrat running.
4th: Bill Richardson (steady) His numbers are low, but cpuld change with his experience and charisma.
5th: Joe Biden (steady) His remarks have gotten him in to troubl, but he remains a somewhat strong candidate.
6th: Wesley Clark (steady) Clark has moved down a positin for his reluctance to announce.
7th: Christopher Dodd (steady) Dodd remains alomst dead last in polls and avearges about 1%. He is too unknown.
8th: Dennis Kucinich (steady) Peace candidate mask hasn't really helped Kucinich, and is the same old candidate as in 2004.
9th: Al Sharpton (steady) Sharpton probably will run for soemthing to do. He knows he doesn't have a chnace of winning.
10th: Mike Gravel (steady) Gravel is too unknown and forgotteh for a presidential run and isn't doing too much campaigning. He has so little support he isn't included in polls.
