Romney maintains Iowa lead
Fred Thompson's moving on up in Iowa. However, he hasn't cut into Mitt Romney's lead in the state:
"Mitt Romney is still the Republican to beat in Iowa, maintaining a lead he's held over other presidential candidates for months.
"A poll released Sunday by The Des Moines Register shows the former Massachusetts governor with support from 29 percent of Iowa Republicans. Fred Thompson, the actor and former Tennessee senator, is in second place with 18 percent.
"Romney has campaigned extensively in Iowa and has aired a steady stream of television ads.
"Thompson scored well in polls of potential caucus-goers even before officially entering the race in September. The Register poll showed him holding onto second place but not cutting into Romney's lead."
