A new Time Magazine poll out Thursday has a lot of interesting (and not terribly surprising) numbers. They include low levels of support for President Bush, a big majority favoring withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq before September 2008, and a majority believing Bush is trying to "cover up" what happenned in the firing of U.S. Attorneys.
We draw you attention to the Presidential race, though, and the strong bump John Edwards has gotten since the attention surrounding his wife's cancer recurred. Time finds the Democratic Primary race this way:
Clinton at 38%, Obama at 30% and Edwards at 28%.
On the Republican side, Time shows Rudy Giuliani's Republican Primary numbers sinking back to reality after he ran 20 points ahead of John McCain. Following the drip, drip, drip of details about him including his son not talking to him and his third wife being on her third husband, Giuliani stills leads McCain, but now it's 35%-22%.
Keep in mind, however, it is only March, 2007

He'll be neck and neck with McCain soon enough, even though McCain won't rise.

It seems like McCain has been locked at 22% for a while.
To: mainepatsfan
He is steady. The infatuation with the lib will be coming to a abrupt halt soon.

Interesting.
But, the '04 election was the first one I really followed closely, and if there's anything it taught me, it's that a LOT can change in a period of time. I really don't know what's going to happen between now and the primaries...will be something to watch.

They include low levels of support for President Bush - Have I just missed out on the: Bush poll numbers lowest ever - We use to see these polls come out twice a day, I assumed his numbers have been going up since I have not seen those in a while, the wording above indicates the same or they would give numbers.

LOL. Rudy still defeats Shrillary and Obama in the trial match-ups.
Some slumper he is.

Yes. His poll numbers are at least 15 points higher than that of congress right now.

Time is way oversampling liberal dems and the Edwards numbers.

Hey, his wife is dying; lets vote for him. He's a victimmmmm....
God, living in this republic is like be on a ship of fools casted adrift on an endless ocean. Sometimes I feel like shouting "is there anyone out there with at least two neurons in their head capable of having a semi intelligent thought?"
Oh, what the hell, I'm going back to sleep; maybe I'll wake up and find out it was just a nightmare.

Hey, his wife is dying; lets vote for him. He's a victimmmmm. Not much different than some people voting based on looks. Old A. Lincoln wouldn't have a chance nowadays.

"Time Magazine is a rag. A Liberal Rag."I agree 100 percent, but since most of the pro-Rudy Polls/News articles come from most of the liberal rags, it's only fair.
Some constantly used the ABC/Washington post polls as a sign of Rudy's popularity until they were smacked down.
