Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani is the favourite Republican United States presidential contender for voters in the Garden State, according to a poll by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. 48 per cent of respondents in New Jersey would vote for Giuliani in a head-to-head contest against Democratic New York senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.
In other match-ups, Rodham Clinton holds a one-point edge over Arizona senator John McCain, and a 24-point advantage over former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. McCain leads former North Carolina senator John Edwards by six points, and Illinois senator Barack Obama by three points.
In 2004, Democratic nominee John Kerry carried New Jersey’s 15 electoral votes, with 53 per cent of the vote. No Republican has won the Garden State since George H. Bush in 1988.
Incumbent George W. Bush is ineligible for a third term in office. The next United States presidential election is scheduled for November 2008.

The MSM have been pushing McCain for decades and they are NOT pushing Rudy. Get real!
Don't be silly......and that IS what you are being.
It would seem, to any rational person, that an underground attack on a very tall building would require some plan to evacuate people trapped above the ground floor!
I have read the statistics.
There was pretty much no way the people above impace could be saved. Stairways were destroyed, the fire was out of control
Few people died below impace.
I think some people just don't like New York City, don't like large cities anywhwre and are a pain in the a$$.
AMEN!
they seem to honestly believe that scaring us with Hillary will "MOTIVATE" us to vote for McCain!
ugh...they truly underestimate the American people....
"Don't encourage him any further, hes a broken record, no plan, no plan, no plan. I don't know what he is talking about. I am going into ignore mode."
The fool obviously doesn't know what he's talking about.
His credibility is nil.
He's either ignorant or a liar.
And I will bet most places still don't have one or haven't even given it a thought...
We pray alot that they are not that well hmm uninformed! But I have seen outcomes in races that defy logic.
People ABOVE the ground floor survived almost entirely.
What is it you don't understand?
People survived below impact. Above impact which was WAY UP THERE, did not.
Why do you not understand this?
You don't have the filberts to talk directly to me?
I feel good, too!
That's what I expected to happen when she ran for Senate, but the media collectively declined to ask her a single difficult question.
They will continue to decline.
Still don't have what?
I work on the 25th floor. City codes require evacuation plans.
What do you not understand?
it did - BUT NOT IN THE EVENT OF PLANES FLYING INTO THE BUILDINGS AND CUTTING THE STAIRWELLS.
"And I will bet most places still don't have one or haven't even given it a thought"
Again, you don't know what you're talking about.
I have been working downtown for 20 years and know for a fact that emergency evacuations have been prepared for most buildings.
I suggest you skip this topic because you will be debunked by ANYONE who was there that day.
Like I said, vote for whoever you want. Nobody cares.
If the terrorists who set off a bomb in the underground garage put everyone abouve ground at risk, why was there no plan for the second through 100+ floors?
Dumb. Like I said... NO PLAN, NO LEADERSHIP...
Basically its not worth the expenditure of oxygen,I need to save it for when I really need it.
