Angus Reid Global Monitor : Polls & Research Giuliani Leads McCain in Texas GOP Race February 13, 2007 (Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Rudy Giuliani and John McCain are the favourite presidential hopefuls for Republican Party supporters in the Lone Star State, according to a poll by Baselice & Associates. 28 per cent of likely GOP primary voters would vote for the New York City mayor in the 2008 United States primary, while 26 per cent would support Arizona senator John McCain.
Former House of Representatives speaker Newt Gingrich is third with 17 per cent, followed by former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney with six per cent. Support is lower for Kansas senator Sam Brownback, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, and former New York governor George Pataki.
The Texas Republican primary is scheduled for Mar. 4, 2008. On that same day, nine other states will hold presidential contests.
Republican George W. Bush—a former governor of Texas—won the state’s 34 electoral votes in the 2004 election, with 61 per cent of the vote. No Democrat has carried the Lone Star State since Jimmy Carter in 1976.
Bush is ineligible for a third term in office. The next U.S. presidential election is scheduled for November 2008.

Hunter is in that bottom 18% and will stay there.
< /s>
Duncan is in third ahead of Newt with 18% undecided, right? :)
McCain is going to be insufferable in the Senate if the Republican party rejects him in 2008.
Impressive for Rudy- a guy from New York leading a southwestern politician (McCain) in Texas.
Nope. He's the only lower tier guy that will rise to the upper tier. Mark my words.
(((((POLL PING))))
Also shows how weak McCain is polling right now.

Well, McCain is a known entity now. McCain-Feingold marked him as willing to trample on the Constitution for political "fame". This, combined with too much playing of both sides of the aisle, will keep him down with informed conservatives.
OMG can you imagine the anger if he loses? YIKES!
Which poll company?
No way pissant, not enough time and money. He will be done before Super Tuesday because the money will start going only to the frontrunners, ie. the winners in the early primaries.
Rudy is getting lots of help from Bush's people who have huge inroads to raising money in Texas.
There is a list fo names around here somewhere.
Absolutely. He was insufferable after the party rejected him for the nomination in 2000, voting so much more lib than usual for the next two years that he chalked up the sixth most liberal voting record in the Senate.
I figure there is a good chance he'll go caucus with the RATS if he doesn't get the nomination--just like he looked into doing after he lost in 2000.
IMO, It says 72% want a leader with conservative values. That is kind of low.
