Here's the interesting things about this poll. Giuliani's numbers went down and he's stuck in the 30s. He is at essentially the same level of support as he had in January. Whatever momentum he had is gone.

The polls also shows that most Republicans still have no idea what Giuliani's positions on social issues are. Bad news for Rudy. Fully one-third of Republicans are unhappy with the current choices for president. Bad news for the big three. In the head to head with McCain, 10% of Giuliani's supporters believe McCain is "too moderate" reflecting the fact that they are unaware of Giuliani's positions.

The poll also shows that the overwhelming issue in the recent mid-terms was the Iraq war, putting the lie to all those who keep blaming social conservatives and advocating a more "moderate" (read liberal) posture by the GOP.

"...he's stuck in the 30s..."

He has over thirty percent support in a field of 14 candidates, if Fred Thompson pulled every vote from every candidate listed below him in that poll, he'd tie Rudy.

"The polls also shows that most Republicans still have no idea what Giuliani's positions on social issues are."

Really?

Do you mean Republicans, or Republicans who've spent the last several weeks in solitary confinement, or in the Amazon?

Maybe what the poll shows, is that they know, and don't care.
