WASHINGTON - Many people want to see Sen. Hillary Clinton take on Rudy Giuliani in the 2008 presidential race, a new national poll shows. A new Quinnipiac University poll found 57% of voters like Clinton (D-N.Y.) and only 4% express anger toward her, though she is widely considered one of the most polarizing politicians in the country.

In a hypothetical matchup, Giuliani and Clinton are neck and neck: 45% to 43%.

"I don't think it's going to happen, but both Democrats and Republicans think a Rudy-Hillary race would be a lot of fun," said Maurice Carroll, Director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "Two-thirds of Democrats like Hillary Clinton and two-thirds of Republicans like Rudy."

The survey found President Bush's job approval rating at 47%, and 34% of Democrats say they don't just disagree with his policies, they are angry at him personally.

"I've never seen anything like this anger at Bush," Carroll said.

A majority of Americans do not like how Bush has handled the economy and only 42% now say going to war in Iraq was the right thing to do. Bush continues to get high marks for fighting terrorism.

The poll's margin of error was plus or minus 2.5 percentage points

Calm down, it was just a little joke. And Merry Christmas to someone who doesn't deserve Dung Harkin.

Ach. Missed da smiley captioning. I'm humor-impaired sometimes. ;o)

And Merry Christmas to someone who doesn't deserve Dung Harkin.

Scary tidbit: I went to school (K-12) with his nephews and neice. I saw that guy on several occasions. Major "ick" factor.
