Ask Rudy. He never outpolled Hillary in the 2000 NYC Senate race, even though he was sitting mayor of NYC and she was a cankled carpetbagger.
9/11 changed our perceptions of Rudy. He is a leader.
Exactly, and if you read this poll carefully, he is STILL running 1% behind Hillary in the PURPLE states, close ones that we need to win like Missouri and Ohio plus light blue ones which he should put in play like Pennsylvania. This is not a formula for victory.
