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.
Rudy is Moses. Take me to the promised land!
Incapable of even a semi-rational response I see. The truth does that to blustering blowhards most times.
Yeah, social conservatives are going to come out in droves to vote for the ultra-left Obama. Because they're all such morons. That's the ticket.
The irrational Christian-bashing is reaching critical mass around here.
There will only be a repeat of 1976 if Republicans give the nomination to another Ford-like squish.
ROFL!!!!
Rudymania is 100% pure MSM hype ... and professional pollsters are part of the scam. And you've fallen for it hook, line, and sinker.
You'll learn ...
If we can't get a Rommney, an Allen or a Santorum, I agree that Rudy is a good choice. He is a born leader....read his book "Leadership". The guy is extraordinarily capable!!
The stunner - that 43% of the people would choose Gore in a matchup against Rudy....or anyone? America is in trouble!!
This poll is meaningless. The poll I posted at #18 from McLaughlin & Associates is the most relevent poll posted on Free Republic to date. Rudy has to win the nomination before he can face the Democrat nominee. A word to the wise. If you keep ridiculing social conservatives, all you will accomplish in the end is to guarantee a Democrat will be sitting in the WH come 2008.
Ditto....once again reason and sanity from Reagan Man....:)
If you look on any Rudy Thread you will see that it is actually the other way around and should be:
A word to the wise. If you keep ridiculing people who like Rudy and calling them liberals, etc. all you will accomplish in the end is to guarantee a Democrat will be sitting in the WH come 2008.
Please add me to your ping list.
Yeah, we should listen to experts like you who tell us the guy doesn't even exist.
HORSEFEATHERS!
Sure thing! Welcome aboard!
If you support someone who CAN'T win, you're assuring a Democrat in the Whitehouse.
And no matter how many times you and your ilk keep posting pictures of Rudy dressed that way, for a CHARITY show, that is many decades old and in which every mayor and most politicians, from both parties, have also performed in, in a variety of different costumes, it won't matter one whit.
How much do you want to bet that there have been politicians, whom you revere, have also dressed up like that, or worse? yeah, it's a sucker bet....if you take it. LOL
There are some among them that insist he dresses like that on a regular basis. LOL!
No, he would not have! And he would have been massacred by the MSM!
The red nosed liberal.:(
I'm with you, it's too early, many things can change events really fast in today's political spectrum.
We can be sure of one thing, we know who the MSM is trying to push down on us.
Have fun with the MSM, DNC, and pollsters leading you around by the ring in your nose ...
