2008 GOP Primary: Giuliani 26% Rice 24% McCain 21% (Rasmussen)
Rasmussen Reports ^ | November 13, 2005

Posted on 11/13/2005 2:28:18 PM PST by RWR8189

November 12, 2005--Unlike the Democrats, there is no clear frontrunner for the Republican Party's 2008 Presidential nomination.

Three candidates, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and Senator John McCain all are favored by more than 20% of GOP voters. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist are the only other Republicans to reach the 5% level of support.

McCain is the leader among the minority of Republicans with an unfavorable opinion of George W. Bush.

If the three leading candidates do not run, "Not Sure" takes over the Republican lead at 30%. In that scenario, Gingrich is the top choice for 27% of Republicans and Frist is next at 11%.

Senator Chuck Hagel, Senator George Allen, and Congressman Tom Tancredo were also included in the survey. None of them reached the 5% level of support.

A plurality of Rice supporters favor Gingrich if the Secretary of State is not in the running. A plurality of both the McCain and Giuliani supporters move to the Not Sure category.

New York Governor George Pataki attracts more of Giuliani's vote than any other Republican.

CrossTabs are available for Premium Members.

A separate survey conducted earlier this year found both McCain and Giuliani leading the Democrat's frontrunner Hillary Clinton.

Rasmussen Reports is an electronic publishing firm specializing in the collection, publication, and distribution of public opinion polling information.

Rasmussen Reports was the nation's most accurate polling firm during the Presidential election and the only one to project both Bush and Kerry's vote total within half a percentage point of the actual outcome.

During Election 2004, RasmussenReports.com was also the top-ranked public opinion research site on the web. We had twice as many visitors as our nearest competitor and nearly as many as all competitors combined.

You mean Romney: pro-Roe v. Wade, pro-domestic partner benefits, pro-homosexual Scoutmasters, appoints openly homosexual judges? They'll chew him up and spit him out in Iowa, S.C., and Super Tuesday down south.

We can hash this one out by ourselves.

And the bad news is most conservatives are packing heat.

No, I was merely correcting a misstated assertion.

It's not shocking.

Only fanatics hate McCain. I don't love the guy, but the amount of hate and rediculous hyperbole against him around here is absolutely rediculous. It's illogical and destructive.

I decided to read some of safisoft's post and he is on a one man jihad to trash condi with unsubstantiated rumor and inuendo.

I'd say out of the last 100 posts safisoft has made 60 are probably gratuitous trashing of Condi.

Further, he has been accused by at least 3 different freepers of gratuitous insults.

I suggest you read them for yourself.

I like Maryland Governor Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.

I do too, but he does not pass the republican litmus test of being pro life.

In the very unlikely event she's picked as the nominee, we may as well form a new party.

Condi would be fabulous and you and the rest of your kind are more than welcome to go and form your own party.

Only fanatics hate McCain.

I guess I must be a fanatic then...especially after McCain co-sponsoring the McCain-Feingold Act which is nothing but an assault on the First Amendment and gave absurd amounts of power to George Soros and MoveOn.org.

McCain isn't fit to be called a Republican. He's nothing but a Democrat with an "R" by his name.

Interesting. I think that maybe JIMRob should ... I dunno. The creep really twists my shorts. I'd suggest a ZOT. I try to keep my head down with my opinions. I was semi-banned here once; so I'm not sure what I can say or not say.

Oh, hey, how bout a Gingrich/Guliani ticket?
Too much baggage.

Too many ex-wives between the two.

McCain, for all his faults, has always been pro-life.

Who do you all think will be on the ticket? I have no opinion at this time of any of them, except it would be a cold day before I ever voted for the likes of mccain
