Rudy Strong Among Religious Right

The latest Gallup poll reports that Giuliani leads among Republican Primary voters who attend church weekly or more. Although his margin is lower than it is for those who go less frequently, it still shows that Rudy is overcoming the difficulty one might expect he would have with the religious right.
Among the 42% of the Gallup sample who attend church weekly or more, Rudy leads McCain by 31-24, with Gingirch at 13% and Romney at 7%. Among those who do not go weekly, Rudy leads by 48-21, with Gingrich at 7 and Romney at 6.
These data not only highlight the strength Rudy has among Christians but also the absence of any opponent that excites them. If former Sen. Fred Thompson or Gingrich were to get into the race, the situation might change significantly.
Also of interest is the fact that the majority (58%) of the Gallup GOP sample attends church either "nearly weekly or monthly" or "rarely if at all".
