This is really getting exciting! The poll results have shifted dramatically since this morning. Melissa Francis is still in the lead but Becky Quick is living up to her name, coming up from behind with an amazing speed. (It may be that her stint hosting The Call with Trish Regan this morning helped boost her visibility with those of you who get to your desks too late to catch her on Squawk Box.)
Rebecca Jarvis, who was at the head of the pack just behind Francis this morning, has slipped down to the second tier with Erin Burnett and Trish Regan. Margaret Brennan follows a good distance behind. Maria Bartiromo and Michelle Caruso Carrerra are in the back of the pack.

And, yes, we realize this is all a bit silly. But it’s a Friday in August. A quarter of our team has already checked out for the beach. The Dow is climbing slowly upward with the lightest volume of the year. It seems like a good time to enjoy ourselves by engaging in timed eating contests, smuggling hits from our flask while no one is looking and polling our readers about the women of CNBC.
The latest results and your chance to vote (if you haven't already) after the jump!
