Senator Hillary Clinton is pulling away from the field in the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination but remains weaker than other major Democratic contenders in match-ups with top Republicans.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone shows former Big Apple Mayor Rudy Giuliani with a statistically insignificant one-point lead over the former First Lady, 46% to 45%. Former U.S. Senator Fred Thompson posts exactly the same numbers when matched against Clinton. It’s Thompson 46% Clinton 45%.
In June, Clinton was a point ahead of Giuliani and even with Thompson.

So Hillary’s behind a candidate that hasn’t even declared his canidacy yet? That’s pathetic.
But, but...we have to hold our noses and nominate Rudy to beat Hillary and keep the White House! LOL
So Hillary with 100% name recognition and almost 15 years in the limelight can’t break 45% against either of the top 2 Republicans. Good news for us.
They're being misled by the MSM echo chamber, and they're going to get nailed for it.
Plus, there's no way Clinton can take on Obama without tacking too far left and then destroying him with personal attacks, which will demoralize the dem base and remind everyone else why we felt the White House needed to be scrubbed by guys in Tyvek suits after the Clintons left office.
More disconcerting, if you look at Obama vs. GOP/Gore vs. GOP/Edwards vs. GOP, we get our clocks cleaned.
It is ONLY Hillary's incredibly high negatives that, so far, are even keeping this close.
Based on the results of that last few elections — it will be close no matter WHO each party selects..
The nation is very nearly equally divided along lines of party — Right vs Wrong, and not on the virtues or views of a candidate.
Hope you’re right. I’m in OH, where a somewhat incompetent DeWine was replaced by an utter leftist Sherrod Brown.
I’d rather he was “outed” for being the gun-grabbing, big-spending, NAMBLA supporting lefty he is than some rumors or even facts about his sex life.
I’m in Texas so my view of the world could also be skewed.
Hillary is so totally not Presidential material.
What is going to really hurt her is when Bill has to start doing the heavy lifting for her. She not only will look weak and incompetent but it will appear she is just a Trojan Horse for a third term for Bill.
I bet Thompson will be ahead of Its Majesty when he finally gets in the race...
Oh look he already is!
Oh yeah, Fred is doomed...

LOL
Yes it is.....
She even thinks showing cleavage helps....
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK
Those polls show constant support for the RATS (45-47), whoever he/she might be. Republican support flucuates depending on the matchup. The GOP base is utterly demoralized. The GOP does better with Hillary because the demoralized base will come out and vote against her. They are not so fearful of Edwards and Obama.
The GOP can keep the White House if the nominee can figure out a way to get the demoralized base to the polls.
When Hillary gets the nomination, she will have tons of $$ to use on TV ads reducing her negatives. She will be tough, especially since she will do anything to win.
It makes people feel good to tell pollsters they’re going to vote for Obama.
What happens in the voting booth will be a different story.
