More voters say they would be comfortable with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani as president than other top 2008 contenders, though majorities would also be comfortable with other leaders from both parties, according to the latest FOX News Poll. In addition, of all the 2008 hopefuls — announced or frequently mentioned as a possibility — voters want to hear more from one candidate specifically: Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.

Opinion Dynamics Corporation conducted the national telephone poll of 900 registered voters for FOX News from January 30 to January 31. The poll has a 3-point error margin.

Go Rudy Go!

I like the guy but the whole 'dress in drag' to pose for pictures thing eliminates him from eligibility IMO.

[stuartcr]

I think that the only thing one can say about this poll is that, those that want him for president will believe it, and those that don't, won't.

[zarf]

yes!

[tkathy]

Rudy connects across the spectrum, much like Reagan. :)

The Cross Dressing community must have been over sampled.

[kinoxi]

Much like Reagan?

[Antoninus]

Well done. Your chart needs to be posted on every Rudy thread.

If liberals want to elect Rudy, let them do it with liberal money, liberal effort, and liberal votes.

Count me out.

[Blackirish]

Rudy clearly has the momentum.

If this keeps up look for the GOP insiders to pull out the long knives on McCaine.

Paybacks a ......

[California Patriot]

These are good numbers for Rudy.

[Tim Long]

Go Rudy Go!

Indeed. Go... away.

[trumandogz]

I can't wait for the Rudy v. Hillary Debate.


They would agree on every singe issue and the main topic of the pose debate commentary would be who was wearing the prettiest dress.

FYI, Duncan Hunter voted in favor of Medicare D, CFR, No Child Left Behind, Highway Bill...

Rudy cut taxes, cut the size of city government, reduced welfare rolls, ended racial preferences & quotas in city hiring, and best of all, reduced crime.
