You can read about the new AP / IPSOS poll here. Here are the national numbers:

Giuliani 26
Huckabee 18
McCain 13
Romney 12
Thompson 11

Note that the frontrunner is ahead by eight points, while only seven points separate the second-place candidate from the fifth-place candidate. Huckabee's rise in Iowa has led to a volatile national swing, in which Thompson's national support retreats as Huckabee surges from out of nowhere. The swing happened rapidly. Who's to say we're not due for one more swing, or perhaps two more, before January 3, 2008?
