Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) continues to hold a narrow lead over Senator Hillary Clinton (D) and former Vice President Al Gore (D) in early Election 2008 polling.
Giuliani leads Clinton 47% to 43% in the latest poll. That’s very similar to the 48% to 43% lead he enjoyed in late November. When matched against Gore, Giuliani now leads 46% to 43%. In November, he also enjoyed a three-point lead over the Democrats’ Election 2000 candidate.
Against either Democrat, Giuliani leads among men but trails among women. The two Democrats lead among voters under 30, but trail among other age groups.
Gore is now viewed favorably by 50% of Americans and unfavorably by 49%. That’s a bit better than in earlier surveys. For Clinton, the numbers are now 48% favorable and 50% unfavorable, a bit weaker than the last time we checked.
Neither Democrat comes close to Giuliani on the favorability scale. The man sometimes known as “America’s Mayor” is viewed favorably by seven out of ten Americans (71%).
Giuliani also does well in Republican primary polling. In fact, he is the top candidate in the early going. John McCain is second. McCain also leads Clinton and Gore in Election 2008 match-ups. In fact, Giuliani and McCain are ahead in every match-up no matter what Democrat we mention.
On the Democratic side, Clinton is the clear frontrunner. Gore has not made it clear whether he intends to run.
Check out the favorability ratings for all Republican candidates, Democratic candidates, Congressional Leaders and other Political leaders.
HOW ABOUT POSTING THAT PICTURE WITH AN EXPLANATION UNDER IT? Oh NOOOO That would mean there was a reason for him dressing like that and that would ruin the whole effect now wouldnt' it?
next you'll tell me the "polls are wrong" - the favorite FR mantra.
tell that to FORMER senators Santorum, Talent, Allen, and Burns.
a zombie like Gore ought to have approval ratings in the 20s, instead - take a look at where he is.
Rasmussne also predicted the 2006 election and was correct. They are considered the most reliable pollster among most Freepers.
Real headline: Marxist Media Continue to Pump Up Giuliani: Freepers Drink Kool-Aid.
I like all three.............
McCain, had he gotten the nomination, would have beaten Gore by a wider margin then Bush did. guaranteed.
Yes.
That doesn't sound like much of a lead on either count.
It would appear to some people on the internet have just way too much free time on their hands.
Much as I don't like McCain, I agree.
Give it time - The polls keep showing him with a big lead and then a smaller one - it fluctuates.
to=that
The Three Freeper Mantras:
1. The Polls are wrong.
2. The Media is lying
3. We lost, and it's YOUR FAULT.
LOL! So True. Never blame the politician themselves.
YIKES!
Before Rudy can even think of running against Hillary Rotten, Algore or Obama Hussein, he's first got to secure the GOP nomination. That isn't gonna happen. The most relevent poll to date, came from John McLaughlin & Associates. McLaughlin is a well known and well respected Republican pollster. On November 7, 2006, GOP voters told McLaughlin that John McCain was their choice for the GOP nomination. As you can see in the poll data below, McCain beats Giuliani by 6%. In the same McLaughlin poll taken during the the 2004 election, Giuliani came out well ahead of McCain by 12%. Conservative Republicans are finally getting the facts on Rudy`s liberal politics and his liberal governing record as Mayor of NYCity. And conservatives don't like what they see.
