Detailed polls have shown most republicans don’t know rudy’s real record, and that they’d have trouble with someone with his positions.

Not so. What many say is "I don't agree with him on some things but he's a proven leader." THAT'S the truth.

Rudy doesn’t get more than 40% of the republicans to support him in any of the polls, and he’s barely hanging 30% these days.

Pretty bad given his universal name recognition.

Sure, Rudy has crossover appeal. Some republicans WILL cross over and vote for Rudy.
