Q-Poll: Thompson Ties Romney in Ohio

According to a Quinnipiac poll out this morning (see Question 2) of registered Republicans in Ohio, Fred Thompson, only a few days after announcing on "Fox News Sunday" that he is "going to leave the door open" to a run for president, has already tied the former governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney.

In a survey taken from March 13 to March 19, of 1,122 Ohio voters, both Messrs. Romney and Thompson get 6% of the vote among registered Republicans. Mayor Giuliani came in at 31%, Senator McCain of Arizona at 21%, and the former speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, at 8%.

Respondents were asked to choose between: Sam Brownback, Jim Gilmore, Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani, Chuck Hagel, Mike Huckabee, Duncan Hunter, John McCain, George Pataki, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Tom Tancredo, Fred Thompson, and Tommy Thompson.
