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
I am a well-educated, conservative, Southern Baptist who whole-heartedly supports Rudy. MANY Southerns with whom I have spoken feel the same way!
LOL....
At least Kerry killed a guy. But my argument was that it is insane to say that just because a person avoided the draft and hasn't got any combat experience, his stance on terrorism is nothing more than 'tough talk'.
I agree with the last half of your argument....but still laughing about Kerry's 4 months of combat experience.
