Rasmussen: Giuliani 33% McCain 19% Gingrich 13% Romney 8%
Rasmussen Reports ^ | February 20, 2007 | Scott Rasmussen

Posted on 02/20/2007 3:17:23 PM PST by LtdGovt

For the second straight week, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) holds a fourteen percentage point lead in the race for the Republican Presidential nomination. Giuliani attracts support from 33% of Likely Primary Voters while Arizona Senator John McCain is supported by 19%. A week ago, it was Giuliani 32% McCain 18%.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R) picked up a few points this week and now is favored by 13%.

Trailing Gingrich is former Massachusetts Mitt Romney (R) at 9%. Senators Sam Brownback (R) and Chuck Hagel (R) each earn 3% support. It is not clear that Gingrich is running. He has said he will not make a decision until at least September.

Essentially unchanged since last week, though it is strange that Hagel is getting a few percentage points. That has to be statistical noise.

I'm still befuddled, yet satisfied, that Gingrich is outpolling Romney. Not satisfied with Giuliani or McCain, though.

One could only assume it must really bug Romney to be trailing someone who hasn't even announced that he's running.

Romney still has a very low name recognition. On the other hand, almost everybody knows Rudy, McCain and Gingrich. So that's a disadvantage for him, and I expect that as his name recognition increases, his percentage will go up. He is a terrific candidate.

I'm with ya billybudd.
Rudy while a fine person is not a conservative and McCain WON'T get my vote.
Romney seems like a rino but Newt is more real.

Rudy Giuliani Supports Partial Birth Abortion...Do You?

[GEORGE] WILL: Is your support of partial birth abortion firm?
Mayor GIULIANI: All of my positions are firm. I have strong viewpoints. I express them. And I--I do not think that it makes sense to be changing your position....
ABC News February 6, 2000


TUCHMAN: Giuliani was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call partial-birth abortions, something Bush strongly supports.
GIULIANI: No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing.
- CNN December 2, 1999


BLITZER: If you were in the Senate and [President Clinton] vetoed, once again, the [ban on the] so-called partial-birth abortion procedure, you would vote against sustaining that against the -- in favor of the veto in other words, you would support the president on that.
GIULIANI: Yes. I said then that I support him, so I have no reason to change my mind about it.
BLITZER: All right. So the bottom line is that on a lot of these very sensitive issues whether on guns, abortion, patients' bill of rights, taxes, you are more in line with the president and by association, with Mrs. Clinton, than you are against them.
- CNN February 6, 2000

MR. RUSSERT: A banning of late-term abortions, so-called partial-birth abortions--you're against that?

MAYOR GIULIANI: I'm against it in New York, because in New York...

MR. RUSSERT: Well, if you were a senator, would you vote with the president or against the president? [Note: President Clinton was in office in 2000]

MAYOR GIULIANI: I would vote to preserve the option for women. I think that choice is a very difficult one. It's a very, very--it's one in which people of conscious have very, very different opinions. I think the better thing for America to do is to leave that choice to the woman, because it affects her probably more than anyone else....

MR. RUSSERT: So you won't change your view on late-term abortion in order to get the Conservative Party endorsement?

MAYOR GIULIANI: It isn't just that. We shouldn't limit this to one issue. I'm generally not going to change my views
- NBC Meet the Press, February 6, 2000


***Note: the version of the Partial Birth Abortion Ban that Giuliani opposed in 2000, that he said he supported Bill Clinton in vetoing the Republican-controlled Congress's legislation, contained the exception for the life of the mother that Rudy is now trying to pretend is a prerequisite for his support of it.

Hopefully, Gingrich flies into second past McPain soon.

I would love to see the latter sink so low he drops out.

I think you have it exactly right, LtdGovt, and the Romney team will begin its campaign to introduce Mitt to voters with a 60-sec TV spot running in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Michigan and Florida starting tomorrow.

If he were actually running and campaigning, I bet he'd either be in front or tied with Rudy.

Go Newt, Go!! Former Speaker Gingrich would wipe the floor with Senators Hillary Clinton, Barack Hussein Obama or John Edwards.

I'm sorry, I don't care what Rasmussen says, Rudy or McCain have no chance in the GOP primaries!
