Giuliani 47% Clinton 44%; Clinton 48% Thompson 44% Friday, August 31, 2007 Advertisment Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani leads New York Senator Hillary Clinton 47% to 44% in the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. A month ago, Giuliani enjoyed a seven-point edge.
In six polls conducted between November 2006 and April of this year, Giuliani was ahead of Clinton each time with margins ranging from two to nine points. The match-up between the frontrunners tightened from May to early July. During that stretch, the two candidates were within a point of each other four times. Clinton led by a single point in a July 10 survey, the only time all year she’s topped Giuliani in a national poll.
However, the last two polls show Giuliani ahead once again.
The latest poll also shows Clinton leading former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson 48% to 44%. Thompson, who will formally announce his candidacy next Thursday, has been closely matched with Clinton in six polls conducted since March. The candidates have been within one point of each other in three of the six polls while Clinton has enjoyed a 3 or 4 point lead in the others.

Right about GOP turnout but wrong about 'rat turnout. She scores heavily in the "needy-greedy" demographic, and her secret "Biggest weapon" Billyboy will pull all the Blacks out of their chairs for sure. Win or lose, a clinton campaign will guarantee one of the highest turnouts, on both sides, in some time.
If you got it, flaunt it.
By just before the election, the polls showed a HUGE Reagan blowout, and both sides knew it. Both essentially stopped campaigning the last couple of days before because it was all over by then. The pollsters and television news kept it secret, but they knew it. This came out later.
I remember voting and later attending a three-hour night class. At the halfway break in the class, some guys went over to the union for ice cream cones. They came back clutching their cones and said, "It's a landslide for Reagan." I was so surprised and pleased! No one knew ahead of times except the pollsters, the two campaigns, and almost certainly the newspeople. Everybody kept quiet. Actually the better polls are quite accurate, and the campaigns' own polls are VERY accurate.
I don’t see a “giant void”. The best the DNC can come up with is a senator that could not get re-elected in his own state, a senator with two years experience and another Clinton. That is the best they can do which is sad but the American people know this.
The deep reserves in the GOP side are pretty impressive from Mitt to Hunter. The American people see this as well.
This is why KOS and the other left wing folks are so angry and attack because they know how few people agree with them and how crazy their leaders really are and out of step with America they have become.
Last time I walked into a voting booth I found the names of candidates on the ballot, not principles. I'd like to vote for Thompson or Hunter but if I see the name Giuliani on one line and Clinton on the other I'm voting Giuliani. If you want to use that to disparage my commitments to conservative causes since the Goldwater campaign go right ahead. Talk is cheap in the peanut gallery.
My statement was regarding the top tier . There is no doubt that many of the second tier candidates are excellent and better than any of the Dims .
They are however, unelectable given modern day politics .
So yes , there is a sizable void for Fred to fill . Fred will be the natural nominee, as he will bring the star power and true Conservatism to the table . That is a recipe for a nomination win, as well as a general election victory .
Well isn’t that nice. Now can we have a state by state analysis please, since presidents are elected by the states individually, not collectively.
This is anecdotal, and not 1st hand.
I know of a high powered big K Street type, life long Dem, that had a conversation with a friend recently. This life long Dem said if She gets the nomination, this Dem will vote Republican.
What does that tell you?
How many more Dem's in the Beltway and else where out their, that can't stand her?
I don’t disagree with you however Hunter, Mitt, Huckabee fill the conservative areana. I am a supporter of Freds however, look what the star power did to us here in Calif with arnold
We only have the kennedy family running the state so star power vs common sense I am always concerned about.
Why do you dislike the Rasmussen polls? They have been fairly accurate in the past. Please let me know because last week it showed that Jay Nixon is beating current Republican Governor Matt Blunt for re-election and I can’t figure out why.
I am thinking of the larger picture of the electorate. Whoever our candidate is in opposition to Hillary, we have to get behind and support. Rudy Giuliani isn't the enemy. Neither is John McCain or Lindsey Graham who whoever the "I-hate-so-and-so-because-I-don't-think-they-are-conservative" whipping boy is. Hillary Clinton represents a greater threat than all of the faux-enemies so-called 'true conservatives' can come up with to hate.
I’m with you, chimera.
Ditto, me too!
I’m going to go for the best conservative I can get. I despise any of the RATS more than I despise any of the Rs.
That’s exactly how I feel. And I’m glad to see so many on this thread feel the same way.
Thompson is very close without running yet.
Well now there’s a shtt sandwich for all the Hillary sniffers on this board.
