Al Gore's national poll numbers continue to gradually rise: from 11% earlier this year (tied with Edwards), to 17% last month (solidly beating Edwards, but trailing Obama).
Now in the latest AP-Ipsos poll, he comes in at 20% - statistically tying Barack Obama's 21%. This is a pretty significant "bump" from his book tour and recent press blitz.

(Hillary continues to slowly deflate, at 33% in this poll.)
With the Live Earth concerts coming next month, Al's exposure will continue to expand.
It's funny that this article's title is all about Fred Thompson, when perhaps the real story here is the dramatic growth of another dark horse's numbers - undeclared candidate Al Gore.
How long will it be before Al Gore beats Barack Obama in national polls?
Perhaps most notably, add up Gore and Obama's numbers - 41%, trouncing Hillary by 8 points.
Could a Gore/Obama joint venture take the primary nomination by storm???

What is the best strategy for ANYONE beating Hillary?
When Gore announces, Obama should drop out and endorse him, building a defacto "dream ticket"
54% 182 votes
Gore can get in the race but Obama should keep running, they both have something to say
31% 106 votes
Gore should stay out, Obama and/or Edwards have a shot at it
15% 51 votes

(Too bad they didn't have a 4th option: Obama dropping out without Gore doing a
quid pro quo....)
