((((RUDY PING))))

[M. Thatcher]

Giuliani led Republicans in the polls with 76 percent favorable rating within the party.

Just wait until they find out his positions on the issues. Then his support will collapse. Any day now, I tell ya. /s

[Corin Stormhands]

Impossible. No way Rudy plays well in the South.

;-)

[areafiftyone]

LOL! Yea just name recognition. I recognize you - you are that guy - you know who!

[atomicpossum]

The S.C. Democratic primary is Jan. 29 and the Republican primary is tentatively Feb. 2

What will their opinion be in 11 months when they actually vote?

Bush Approval Rating Remains Low
Just 33% of Americans approve

by Jeffrey M. Jones


GALLUP NEWS SERVICE

PRINCETON, NJ -- The latest USA Today/Gallup poll shows continued low approval ratings for George W. Bush. Thirty-three percent of Americans approve and 63% disapprove of the job Bush is doing as president, according to the March 2-4, 2007 survey. That is just two percentage points above his personal low of 31% from May 2006. Bush's support among Republicans has slipped to 70%, just two points above the low-water mark for his party base, also in May 2006.

Why Giuliani can't win. There is no daylight between Bush and Giuliani on Iraq. What daylight exists is on social issues where Giuliani is worse.

Even GOP support is down. Unless Bush wins the surge before election a match between a 'Bush and an UnBush' invites disaster.

But, but, but... what about the SC straw poll????

You know once they see those cross dressing photo's it's all over!!!!... :)

[areafiftyone]

He'll never win the south. He's a Northeasterner! ;-)

[saganite]

It's a poll about favorability ratings. That's a new one to me. Totally worthless.

[JHBowden]

I challenge that. Giuliani can communicate what America is doing for civilization in a way that other candidates cannot. And moving from the cognitive to the emotional, 911 is seared into the brain of every American, whether they like it or not. Talking about 911 puts Iraq and the consequences of failure in context.

You don't know SC politics very well. Enjoy it while it lasts.

[DKNY]

Worse, he is a New Yawker!!!!

[DKNY]

I don't think I claimed to know them well, but thanks... I am enjoying it!

Which South Carolina Poll that Rudy is winning in would you prefer?

The Elon Poll? - Rudy Giuliani, Hillary Clinton Lead 2008 Poll in South

American Research Group South Carolina Poll? ARG Poll

"Talking about 911 puts Iraq and the consequences of failure in context."

Sorry if talking 9/11 was a winner, Bush would have 90% approval. The surge course correction has to work. Iraq has to stand up so we can start to stand down.

Hillary is a New Yorker? When she was elected I merely thought Hell had been admitted to the Union. ;)

What was that they kept saying here on FR? Oh yea. The only poll that counts is on election day. Think I'll wait for that one.

[areafiftyone]

Oh that's why I keep getting hot flashes!

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

ARG Polls are some of the most reputable and accurate there are. In America's political history, when any candidate comes out consistently strong this early, the nomination goes to that candidate. Giuliani Is ahead of that average curve.
