A majority of Americans say they would feel more comfortable with Rudy Giuliani in the White House than Hillary Clinton if another terrorist attack were to happen in the United States, according to a new FOX News poll.
When compared to other top Republican candidates, more voters see Giuliani as hardworking and as a strong leader, while Clinton leads the Democratic field for not only having the right experience, but also being able to bring about change — as well as doing whatever it takes to win. Views are divided on whether it’s appropriate for Oprah Winfrey to use her celebrity status to encourage support of Barack Obama.
The latest FOX News poll shows that if the United States were hit with a terrorist attack, by a 50 percent to 36 percent margin, Americans would rather have Giuliani in charge than Clinton, including 28 percent of Democrats and an overwhelming 80 percent of Republicans. Independents split in Giuliani’s favor 47 percent to Clinton’s 28 percent.
Opinion Dynamics Corp. conducted the national telephone poll of 900 registered voters for FOX News from Sept. 11 to Sept. 12. The poll has a 3-point error margin.

It's early, but I was figurin' on a horse race. Though, I will concede I thought Rudy's comments on immigration had sunk him last week.
I guess I was wrong.
“FOX News Poll: Rudy Giuliani Preferred President Over Hillary Clinton If Terrorists Attack America”
Trudyt vs Hillary? The only difference is the penis. I’m not sure who has it, but that’s the difference.
I prefer anyone but Hillary, whether there’s a terrorist attack or not.
Rudy’s a lot less likely to cry if we get attacked again, whereas Hillary is liable to cry if somebody just gets to close to her podium during a debate.
For reasons I’m guessing has to do with FNC’s polling partner, Opinion Dynamics, FNC polls always trend very liberal.
I’ve never found Fox polls to be very accurate, whether it’s one like this, a post-debate text message poll showing Ron Paul as the winner, or Ruben Studdard besting Clay Aiken.
I can see criticizing Rudy’s stance on the 2nd Amendment and abortion, but in all fairness, the guy gets it when it comes to national defense and fighting the jihadis. Rudy vs. hillary on national defense is not even close.
What does the Rutard know about "foreign policy" that can't be found on a Chinese restaurant placemat?
Opinion Dynamics has a really rotten record of accuracy.
Rudy’s slams today on Hillary and the Slimes will help. He’s sucking up all of the air in the room and taking the fight to the left.
Rudy is the guy that refused money for NYC from an Arabian prince after comments he made regarding 9/11. Hillary’s the one who takes money from any foreigner for her campaign.
Hillary’s the one that kissed Arafat’s wife after she made a speech saying, “”Our [Palestinian] people have been submitted to the daily and intensive use of poisonous gas by the Israeli forces, which has led to an increase in cancer cases among women and children.” Rudy kicked Yassar Arafat out of an event in NYC saying, “New York City will not honor terrorists and dictators.”
...and you say they’re the same? What reality do you live in?
IMHO, when push comes to shove...it’ll be Rudy...
I have to say that just about anyone (other than Obama) would be preferred over Hillary in that circumstance.
Fox is in full Rudy pimp mode.
Giuliani as NYC mayor has had more exposure to foreign policy and had far more meetings with world leaders that George W Bush did when he ran for president. Giuliani will be a great world leader as president, but more importantly a great American leader.
