Here's the new CBS News poll on 2008. For some reason, CBS News has been polling only the top three candidates on each side along with a "someone else" category. In their latest poll, they add Fred Thompson to the mix:
Republicans (without Thompson)
Giuliani 42 (+6 vs. last poll in May)
McCain 26 (+4)
Romney 8 (-7)
Someone Else 19 (-2)
Republicans (with Thompson)
Giuliani 34
Thompson 22
McCain 21
Romney 6
Someone else 7
Favorable Ratings (among Republican primary voters only)
Giuliani 52/12 (+40)
Thompson 33/3 (+30)
McCain 35/19 (+16)
Romney 24/11 (+13)
Does Candidate Share Your Values? Yes/No (among Republican primary voters only)
Thompson 44/8 (+36)

Twenty-eight percent of Republican primary voters say McCain compromises "too much" with Democrats.
