Charlotte Observer ^ | 3/6/07

Posted on 03/06/2007 1:46:18 PM PST by areafiftyone

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York are leading their respective primaries in South Carolina, according to a poll by Winthrop University released today.

Pollsters asked 694 people their opinions of the current candidates.

Clinton led with a nearly 82 percent favorable rating among Democrats over John Edwards, who had 70 percent, and Barack Obama, who had 67 percent.

Giuliani led Republicans in the polls with 76 percent favorable rating within the party. John McCain had a 57 percent favorable rating.

Forty percent of those polled were not familiar with Mitt Romney.

The Winthrop Poll for spring was conducted via telephone between Feb. 7 and Feb. 28, with 694 randomly selected South Carolinians age 18 and up. The results have a margin of error of plus or minus 3.72 percent.

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

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

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.

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

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.

"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. ;)

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.
