Read the full Rasmussen Reports polls on Republicans and Democrats

Rudy Giuliani is seen as politically moderate or liberal by 74 percent of Republican voters. 59 percent say the same about John McCain while 43 percent hold that view of Mitt Romney. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 41 percent now see Mike Huckabee as moderate or liberal and 39 percent see Fred Thompson in that manner.
