Gallup ^ | 3/20/07

Or does it prove that Free Republic is out of touch?

Pioneers always take the arrows.
Yet another poll that means "Didi" very little, most don't care (yet) F. Thompson may run, and Newt May run.

The Rudy boys are counting there eggs before there is even a chicken..

Giuliani Top Choice Among Both Moderate, Conservative Republicans

Not with this conservative Republican.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The MSM and the pollsters are sure trying to sell Rudy to everyone.

Just like their successful campaign for Bob Dull in '96.

Hunter isn't in there. They're scare of Hunter?

[hschliemann]

Fuggeddaboutit Rudi.Tancredo's running.

[MEGoody]

. . .but I think it's clear that we who see Rudy for what he is have lost.

Not ready to throw in the towel yet. A lot can happen in a pretty short time.

But it is sad and rather shocking how far left those who call themselves conservatives have moved.

Free Republic has been out of touch with the American voting public since the 2006 elections.

Amen!

I guess they don't learn even when they lose elections. Very strange Indeed.

"Or does it prove that Free Republic is out of touch?"

You would also have to think that Laura Ingraham, Rush Limbaugh and others are also out of touch. I don't think so. The Drive-By Media have annointed Rudy Giuliani as the GOP nominee because they know they can destroy him later during the real campaign.

[TommyDale]

Rudy Giuliani carries far too much baggage

[JohnnyZ]

This poll is useful as a beginning point -- analysis just from this one poll is junk, but it will be helpful when they do this poll again in a few months to determine the trend.

All I had to do is look at how and who were polled.

I never believe this garbage.

Polls are used anymore to create a perception hoping that people are mindless followers.

The battles are just beginning. The mud wars have yet to begin.

[GrandEagle]

NO SALE HERE
yep, no kidding. Here either.
If he ends up with the nomination it would really be a tough call.
It is a lot easier to deal with when you know you have an enemy of the Republic as president than when you have an enemy of the Republic that half the people follow because he waves the Republican flag.
There is no way I could vote for him. Unfortunately there is a much bigger no way that I could vote for hillary; so I'd have to vote for him just to vote against her.
This is just the predicament the enemies of our nation depend on.

You said, "Free Republic has been out of touch with the American voting public since the 2006 elections".

No question about it. However, FR is NOT out-of-touch with the Conservative Wing of the Republican Party. Good luck electing a liberal without the energy, enthusiasm, volunteer time and effort, and turnout that the Conservative Wing can supply (if it is not slapped in the face, by nominating a liberal like JulieAnnie)

Maybe you Rudy-apologists can do it without us, maybe not. We'll see, but good luck anyway.

[JHBowden]

Thompson's a good guy and a realistic candidate, unlike Tancredo, Hunter, or Gingrich. I agree with you that polling is not a Communist conspiracy.

Partisans will always shoot the messenger-- it is much easier than accepting that there are conservatives out there that have reasonable disagreements. If it so happened that Giuliani slips in the polls, we'd even see many of the Rudy partisans claiming it is a conspiracy by the Clintons.

[JohnnyZ]

The percentage breakdowns and preference order of this presidential preference poll are JUNK.

It says very, very, very little about who conservatives or moderates will support when the campaign hits actual primaries.

It will be useful in the future as a baseline to analyse preference TRENDS, in ... oh, four months or so.

Although, as pointed out, there's likely to be a different group of candidates polled when the question is asked again.
