(AgapePress) -- He has yet to formally announce his candidacy, but former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson is moving up in the polls among Republican presidential hopefuls. A close friend of Thompson's who represents the Volunteer State in the U.S. House says the rising popularity of the Law & Order star can be attributed to his "innate leadership ability" and principled conservative views.
A new USA Today/Gallup poll shows Thompson has surpassed former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, and is running third behind former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Arizona Senator John McCain.
Tennessee Representative Zach Wamp has been leading an effort to rally support in Congress for a Thompson bid. Wamp says when people are looking for a president, they are looking for "strength and trust" -- two things he says Thompson has personified all of his life. "I know his record," says the Tennessee lawmaker. "I am looking for a strong conservative to support -- and I think he can win. I think he can compete and win."
