Rudy's A Down-Hil Racer In Prez Poll (Marist Poll)
NY Daily News ^ | 12/08/06

Posted on 12/08/2006 5:19:56 AM PST by areafiftyone

Hillary may have the buzz, but Rudy has the better poll numbers - at least for now.

A new WNBC/Marist College survey yesterday found that while Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) is the most popular presidential option among Democrats, a whopping 47% of all voters say they would "definitely not" vote for the former First Lady if she runs for President in 2008.

By contrast, a full two-thirds of voters say they remain open to voting for former Mayor Rudy Giuliani - who would best Clinton, 49% to 43%, if the 2008 race were held today.

The numbers suggest that the Republican Giuliani - whose pre-9/11 record remains a blank to most voters - has room to grow, while Clinton begins with nearly half the electorate aligned against her, experts said.

"The bottom line is that there is very little room for error in a Hillary-for-President campaign," says Marist College pollster Lee Miringoff.

Not that Giuliani is without challenges.

The poll found that while Giuliani remains the top pick among GOP voters, a full 47% of those voters - when told that Giuliani is pro-choice, pro-gun control and pro-gay rights - say such issues could be a "major factor" in their eventual decision.

Aides to Giuliani declined to comment on the numbers, but Clinton pollster Mark Penn argued that Clinton has consistently proven she can expand her base of supporters.

"When she started in New York, many people said they'd never vote for her - and she just won reelection with 67% of the electorate," said Penn.

I'm glad you understood what I meant. I had a great time at poker night last night, and haven't yet had enough coffee to counter that.

LOL, obviously.

Who are you supporting? I can't wait for the primaries, and the debates, it should be good.

It will be good to see our debates compared to the lefts, since all the ideas are on the right.

Easy to say. We would have been howling with laughter at you then in your bell-bottomed polyester leisure suit. :)

Post a photo of you from that era please.

Why are you insulting Bunny Slippers character? Do you have to get personal? Why can't you just debate on the issues?

It is a character issue. Giuliani has the personal character of an alley cat.

We already went down that road with Clinton. Once is enough.

I love Duncan Hunter, he is a serious man, something badly needed in DC these days, did you hear he will debate Richardson on CNN about illegals?

I am a Red Sox fan. Thanks for showing me yet another (one of many) reasons to detest the man and not ever vote for him.

I would love to, but my ex wife took all my pictures when she moved out to go screw her boss. People who cheat on their spouses are the lowest form f scum on earth, like RRudy did.

I think I have some pics of me in my racing uniform, Coast Guard or lacrosse uniform from around that time. At least the Coast Guard had decent tailors back then.
