Post-ABC Poll: Clinton, Giuliani Lead Primary Fields

The Washington Post ^ | 1/20/07 | Chris Cillizza

Curious... Can anyone find a poll from January 1999? Was W the front-runner?

Hagel, Tancredo and Paul are also astericks.
Where's the promise land?

Maybe Rudy could hire Newt or double date with him.

Rudy & Newt had a joint op-ed piece in the WSJ the other day. It looked suspiciously to me like they were subliminally floating that very idea. It might be very smart for them to team up, actually ... as for personal baggage, neither of them can really say anything about the other -- the pot calling the kettle black and all that, you know.

[Hessian]

Asked and answered!

Elizabeth Dole was the front runner in a New Hampshire poll with 27%. W was showing up at 23%.

My point is - things change.

Things we expect to happen won't. And things we don't expect to happen will. Guaranteed.

I can recall that GWB won the Iowa straw poll, but I think that was in August of '99. The first official primary. McCain went on to best him in NH.

[AVNevis]

The thing most people know about Rudy is his leadership after 9/11. That is it. His numbers will change after his baggage has a chance to be aired widely. I predict his candidacy will flop.

[DustyMoment]

OMG, TWO years of this!!! I'm going to be ill!

Clinton took 41 percent

This would be her maximum strength and her percent in the general election.

[RightWhale]

Two years unless Hillary doesn't have a clear win in the National election. Then it will be in court until she wins however long it takes.

[RetiredArmy]

Regardless, Rudy, the Beast, Algore, Osama Obama, McScream, Kerry, we are stuck with a liberal/socialist/pro-abortion/anti-conservative. I will not vote for any of these losers.

Post-ABC Poll:

You mean ABC is no more?

Oh, joy, joy.

[engrpat]

I know many on this board are in love with Giuliani; can't get worked up over him. As disappointed as I am with Pres. Bush on so many issues I am sure I would be climbing the walls with Rudy in the WH. Hope someone else steps up.

[Plutarch]

Hagel, Tancredo and Paul are also astericks.

No, Tancredo and Paul were *'s were in December, now they both have 1%.

Hagel has rode his anti-war horse to asterisks in both December and January.

[onyx]

Right. Hunter was a 1% and now he's an *.

[Plutarch]

I know many on this board are in love with Giuliani...

Really? That isn't the sense I get. Giuliani manages to insense both the FR social conservative and anti-illegal crowds, which doesn't leave many Freepers left. At best many would be okay with Giuliani, especially if MCain is posed as the alternative.

It flabberghasts me that Obama can be as high in the polls as he is. Astounding.

[upchuck]

Another worthless poll eating up JimRob's bandwidth and taking up room on his server.

Made even worse 'cause it's a Washington Post-ABC News poll.

Absolutely worthless!

[Cobra64]

So you read Dereliction of Duty too? It should be read by everyone thinking about The Beast wanting to be in the Oval Office.

[Fawn]

I think Rudi is the only one who can beat the beast .....
Did Rudi announce whether he's running or not yet?

[Proud_USA_Republican]

My prediction is that Rudy will be smart and get a southern conservative to run as his VP and they will utterly crush Hitlery, even if she gets Obama to be her VP.

Its not like either of them are going to retire as senators while they run, just like the gutless Kerry.
