The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone poll finds Rudy Giuliani and Barack Obama in an Election 2008 toss-up while the Democratic hopeful maintains a slight advantage over Fred Thompson. Giuliani now holds a statistically insignificant one-point lead over Obama, 45% to 44%. Two weeks ago, Obama was up by two. In fact, Obama had enjoyed a “lead” ranging from one point to six points over the past three polls conducted by Rasmussen Reports. Prior to that, Giuliani had been on top in eight straight polls conducted from November 2006 through June 2007.
