An Internet poll of nearly 100,000 people sponsored by NewsMax.com reveals that Americans are overwhelmingly in favor of Fred Thompson running for president in 2008.

The poll also disclosed that the former senator from Tennessee and “Law & Order” star would trounce all leading Republican candidates in a primary.

Considering that Thompson has not even announced that he would run for the Presidency,The results are somewhat surprising. The good news (to me, and apparently many others) is that he has begun assembling the core of a campaign team in preparation for a possible run.

Here are the poll questions and results:

1) What is your overall opinion of Fred Thompson?

Favorable: 94 percent
Unfavorable: 2 percent
No Opinion: 4 percent

2) Is Fred Thompson your candidate for president in 2008?

Yes: 77 percent
No: 23 percent

3) In the following field, who is your 2008 candidate?

John McCain: 1.66 percent
Condi Rice: 2.64 percent
Mike Huckabee: .99 percent (WHO??)
Mitt Romney: 4.14 percent
Rudy Giuliani: 7.53 percent
Fred Thompson: 62.54 percent
Tom Tancredo: 2.78 percent
Ron Paul: 1.25 percent (double:WHO?)
Newt Gingrich: 12.25 percent
Duncan Hunter: 1.23 percent
Sam Brownback: .97 percent
Other: 1.99 percent

4) In a Republican primary of the following, who would you vote for?

Rudy Giuliani: 7 percent
John McCain: 2 percent
Newt Gingrich: 13 percent
Fred Thompson: 78 percent

5) If the 2008 President race was between Fred Thompson & Hillary Clinton, who would you vote for?

Fred Thompson: 98.7 percent
Hillary Clinton: 1.3 percent
(WHEW! If this ratio would hold true in the election; talk about a MANDATE!!)

For me, the dream ticket would be Thompson/Tancredo, what about you?
