(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton could defeat Republican Rudy Giuliani in the 2008 United States presidential election, according to three recent voting intention polls. In a survey by the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion released by WNBC, 50 per cent of respondents would vote for the New York senator, while 40 per cent would support the former New York City mayor.
In a study by Gallup for USA Today, Rodham Clinton holds a six-point lead over Giuliani. In a poll by Opinion Research Corporation released by CNN, the Democrat also leads the Republican by six points.

Dress wearing?
Don’t trust CNN/Opinion polls, they are Clinton operatives/Gupta the corruptor.
Even though I am for Fred............
Here is Rudy's gift to America!!!!
From your lips to God’s ears, but I do think this is going to be a very difficult fight. I think we should be careful about underestimating Hillary, because she will have the entire media backing her and trashing her opponent and the fearsome Clinton political machine to steamroll over the GOP. We’re going to have to get united and quick if we expect to beat Hillary, instead of having these silly little spats that rip the GOP apart. In the end, whoever the GOP candidate is we’ll get a great deal of what we want. From Hillary, we’ll get a whole lot of what we don’t want. We need to remember that. Better 3 quarters of a plate of what you want than a buffet of bullsh-t from the Clinton crime cabal.
I am not voting for either of these idiots.
I don’t like Rudy but these polls are less tahn worthless. Any poll showing Hillary winning among men is garbage of the third kind. Hillary will lose the male vote by 10-15 points.
Other polling shows that more than 50% of the population would not vote for Clinton at any time or under any circumstances. So how does she get 50% in this Marist poll?
I do not see any GOP beating Hillary at this point. Rudy is not my candidate of choice, but I do not see another GOP candidate that is doing that well. None of these candidates is without serious flaws, but some are more flawed than others. I will predict that no matter which candidate receives the party’s nomination, there are going to be a significant number of Republicans that will not support him. At some point in time, people are going to have to decide whether any GOP candidate is better than Hillary.
Generalizing about GOP candidates and then including Rudy in the mix just doesn’t work.
It is like oil and water.
Rudy just ain’t a real republican.
He is the archetypical example or the perfect example of what a RHINO is.
He will destroy the GOP if nominated.
He is the only candidate guaranteed to hand the Presidency to Hillary.
In short, Mr. Inevitable is unelectable.
Wake up Conservatives!
Thats fine,polls can state that, but Neither will be on the Ballots in November!!
The odds are small, but there’s a chance both hillary and Rudy will not be their party’s nominees. If Hillary loses in Iowa, I think she’s in big trouble.
You mean there is actually a single guy who would vote for her?
These polls are worthless. The Republican field is open. Hillary’s support is solid. Once the Republicans form around a single candidate, then the polls will mean more, especially after the conventions.
They all beat her, she is clearly the most flawed candidate. I don't believe the majority of American's will overlook this but much will depend on the response of the GOP to her predictable claim of unfair play that will occur during the general election. If they let her play the victim then it is over if they stick their guns and call her every bluff and show her as the opportunist she is then she has no chance.
America has been feminizing it’s men for a couple of generations now, it’s starting to take a toll.
Olde Rootie looks very feminine there(eg:in drag). Thats Blackmailable and that latest wife of his is really a step down and scary. Rootie is definitely not Presedential Calibre and Hildabeast knows he (she/It) is the one RINO she is most likely to beat.
Giuliani has been the medias pick as a front runner since day one. Giuliani never had a chance nor does Smellary. Niether of them have addressed the main isues of illegals or bringing real factory based jobs back to America. A straight shooter may still rise...maybe it is Thompson.
Any of the present Republicans with a chance to win the nomination would be better than Giuliani. It's only Giuliani that will cause a significant percentage of the base to stay home or vote third party.
That is tired and failed argument that was used to justify voting for Arnold Schwarzenegger in California.
With a RINO like Giuliani, we'll be getting more like 3/4rd of what we don't want. His election moves the Republican party to the left, guarantees no conservative in the White House until 2016 and eliminates any chance of the Republicans taking back Congress. That isn't acceptable.
Hillary, on the other, would lead to resurge in conservatism, just as Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton did. And, that is better than have a hostile takeover of the GOP by liberals.
