Bits and pieces from today’s Gallup poll:

Giuliani leads at 28 percent… but he was at 44 percent March 2-4.

Thompson is in second place at 19, the highest recorded yet. His previous high was 13 percent, May 4-6.

McCain is at 18 percent. It’s a mild slide, although one poll in early April had him at 16 percent.

Romney is at 7 percent, down from 12 at the beginning of the month. That was the only Gallup poll in which he hit double digits.

Gingrich gets 7 percent, about where he’s been consistently. Without Gingrich, it’s Rudy 29, Fred 21, McCain 20, Romney 8. No other candidate has been more than 3 percent. Only 8 percent have no opinion.
