Florida Poll: Thompson Surges To Second, McCain Plummets To Fourth

Rudy leads, Romney shows.

...there's this new poll (again, PDF) out of Florida, by a firm named Datamar. It shows John McCain having plummeted to 12% in the polls down there, in fourth place, behind Rudy Giuliani at 27%, Fred Thompson in a shocking second place at 22%, and Mitt Romney in a strong third at 18%. Now, this poll is a major outlier from other recent polls in Florida — but it's also the first one taken during a time period that encompasses the immigration compromise (May 14-18 ... the compromise was announced on the 17th). The second most recent poll was by Strategic Vision, way back on May 11-13. It had Mr. Giuliani out front with 32%, Mr. McCain at 20%, Mr. Thompson at 10%, Newt Gingrich at 7%, and Mr. Romney in fifth with 5%.
