Here is more polling data. Again, take it with a grain of salt.
If Fred Thompson jumps in in July, I'll start tracking him of course.
Also of interest is the enormous progress that has been made in the
past two years in making sure electronic voting machines produce
paper trails and that these paper trails are subject to random audits.
Fifteen states require both paper trails and random audits and another
15 require paper trails but no random audits. In addition, a bill
(HR 811) sponsored by congressman Rush Holt (D-NJ) is making its way
through the House and if passed into law would require paper trails
for all federal elections. Paper trails are extremely important to
prevent insiders (mostly the company that makes the voting machines)
from rigging elections. With voter verified paper trails this kind
of insider rigging is difficult, if not impossible. For the state of
play on this subject, see the Website of
verifiedvoting.org.
