(AP) - Demographics and details from AP-Ipsos polling on the 2008 presidential race. The poll was conducted by Ipsos, an international polling firm:
OVERALL: The most important qualities looked for in a presidential candidate are honesty and integrity; these were named by more than half of those in the AP-Ipsos poll. The leading Democratic candidate, according to Democrats and those who lean Democratic, is Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York at 38 percent followed by Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois at 21 percent, former Vice President Al Gore at 14 percent and former Sen. John Edwards at 10 percent. Among Republicans and those who lean Republican, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is leading the field at 35 percent, followed by Sen. John McCain of Arizona at 22 percent, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich at 11 percent and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney at 8 percent.
CANDIDATE TRAITS: Those most likely to mention honesty as an important trait included older people (46 percent of those over 35); whites (62 percent); those with college degrees (63 percent); and those from the Midwest (49 percent). Half of Republican women said honesty was an important trait, compared with 38 percent of Republican men and 41 percent of Democratic women. Among Democrats, honesty voters support Clinton over Obama 35 percent to 18 percent, while 15 percent would vote for Gore and 11 percent for Edwards. Nine percent say they do not know how they will vote. Among Republicans, honesty voters support Giuliani over McCain 38 percent to 20 percent, while 9 percent would vote for Gingrich, 7 percent for Romney and 7 percent for Huckabee. Eleven percent say they do not know how they will vote.
DEMOCRATS: Forty-seven percent of minorities said they would choose Clinton compared with 23 percent for Obama, who is black. Clinton does better with people who less educated _ 44 percent with a high school education or less, 48 percent of those with some college education _ compared with those with a college degree (21 percent).
REPUBLICANS: Giuliani got stronger support from Republican women (41 percent) than he did from Republican men (25 percent). McCain and Giuliani are even among men _ both at 25 percent. Giuliani got higher support in the Northeast (56 percent) than he did in the South (31 percent) or West (25 percent). Giuliani got a higher percentage of support from unmarried women (49 percent) than he did from married men (30 percent). McCain does better with moderates (39 percent) than he does with conservatives (21 percent). Giuliani has 37 percent among conservatives, 29 percent among moderates and 29 percent among liberals.

That's fine by me. McCain and Rudy are the only lemons, as far as I can tell.
They also swooned over her rapist husband.
"I guess there is no way just to rescind lib women voters, is there?"
It will be difficult, but I have devoted much of my life towards the recline of the female voter.
I don't see how the men are any smarter than the chicks, if they want to vote for McMainiac.
I think I found the problem with the GOP today PING
RUDY ROCKIN' DA HOUSE!
Chicks
Not this chick.
First time I've seen voting liberal defined as smarter, but hey, McCain will soon be supplanted by a good guy.
and mind you - Rudy is far from being a "sex symbol", and his marital history is "iffy". why are republican women attracted to him, I imagine its the "security mom" demographic.
I blame you, Teeny
Bill Clinton's "soccer moms'!
Women loved Slickster. Security perhaps, but I think they like the cads too.
Much better than the "smooth-tongued rapist/liar syndrome" that elected you-know-who in '92....
And here is a prediction - you will be surprised at what % of women will turn out to HATE Hitlary....
Rudy isn't a liberal. He's a fiscal and law and order conservative. He's not a social conservative, but that's a long way from your characterization.
Gee - where is Hunter, btw? He's not showing up on any of the polls. Must be all those liberal women in the GOP. One has to wonder how it is that social liberal George W. Bush got elected with all those socially liberal Republican women voting in 2000 and 2004. /sarcasm
Yes I do. And when Hunter or Thompson or Romney inevitably rises and supplants McCain, it will still be the women by 16 points more supporting Rudy over the conservative. My theory, anyway.
If it was all Security Mom demographics, why aren't they voting for Hunter? Or the guy with military experience like McCain? I don't think it's only one thing at all.
Maybe they just want more raghead scalps on a pike.
Rudy settles scores; with brass knuckles.
Maybe they want a good blood letting without apologies.
I know I do.
