A new poll out from Survey USA shows Rudy Giuliani running away with California, with double the support of his nearest rival, Fred Thompson:
Giuliani: 39%
Thompson: 19%
McCain: 16%
Romney: 10%

Some key findings after the jump...
* "Conventional wisdom is that with Gingrich not named, Thompson's support should go up, since the two occupy the same spot on the political dancefloor. But Thompson's support did not go up. It stayed just where it was last month, at 19%, and down 2% from its peak, in June, of 21%. Instead, Giuliani's support went up, by 7 points, from 32% on 07/02/07 to 39% today."
* "John McCain, who was 2nd in May and tied for 2nd in June and July, is trending down, and is now in 3rd place."
* "Mitt Romney, running 4th, still has no traction in California."
* "Among Conservative Republican primary voters, Giuliani's support went up 10 points from July to August, from 26% to 36%. Conservative support for Thompson, McCain and Romney was all flat month-on-month, indicating that the 8% of Conservatives who voted for Gingrich in July almost all voted for Giuliani in August."
