David Johnson, CEO of Strategic Vision polling company, e-mails me:

Wanted to give you a heads-up, we will be releasing a Florida poll tomorrow. On the GOP side, there is with the margin of error a basic 4 way tie for second behind Giuliani. The numbers are former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani with 31%; former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson 13%; Arizona Senator John McCain 13%; former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney 12%; former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee 10%. The Democratic numbers are New York Senator Hillary Clinton led with 47%; Illinois Senator Barack Obama 27%; former North Carolina Senator John Edwards with 8%.

My guess is, the numbers will look a bit different when we’re closer to Florida’s primary day, but for now, that’s great news for Rudy. The race may be winnowed down to the Rudy and Not Rudy candidate by then, and it’s hard to see a scenario where Thompson wins the nomination without doing quite well in Florida.
