Hillary Leads Giuliani in Three U.S. Polls
Anges Reid Global Monitor ^ | 11/10/2007 | Staff

(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.

Despite Hillary's recent gaffes, Giuliani has lost significant ground in all three polls.

He has no chance of winning the general election. It's time to find an electable nominee that can unite the base.

Any Democratic candidate would have a big lead in the polls before the general election starts. Dukakis had a big lead in 1988 and it vanished as soon as Americans became aware he was just a liberal.

I thought I saw a poll where 46 to 48 % of the people polled said they would not vote for Hillary under any circumstances. So much for that poll.

Rudy cannot beat Hilary. Dem-lite won’t beat a real dem. We need a real alternative. A pro-gay, pro-abort, dress wearing, and pro-illegal candidate isn’t a great alternative.

I’m sorry but if Americans would rather vote
for Hillary the pathological liar Jesus himself
could not defeat her.

I guess Ron Paul is our only salvation.

But, in this case, we're taking about a prospective Democratic nominee with the highest negative ratings we've seen, perhaps, ever in a candidate and prospective Republican nominee still living off his alleged 9/11 success.

If I were a Democrat, I would pop the champaign as soon as Giuliani got the nomination. He is likely the ONLY candidate she can beat because he fractures the Republican base and keeps millions of conservatives at home.

“Despite Hillary’s recent gaffes, Giuliani has lost significant ground in all three polls.

You guys are making WAY too much of this poll. Click the link. This poll was done among “American adults,” not likely voters or even registered voters. To get an accurate read on which direction the election might go, you need to poll those voters who self-identify as being likely to vote, not just poll any old schmo who answers the phone, who may not even be registered to vote, who might not even be a citizen of the country!

Rasmussen on the other hand which polls LIKELY voters, shows Rudy beating Hillary by 2 points. That is a much more accurate and meaningful poll than these 2 that just asks anyone who answers the phone.

Besides, for all those saying this shows Giuliani has to be thrown under the bus, it’s not as if any polls are showing the other Republicans performing better than Rudy against Hillary. So what’s the logic here? I think it’s interesting how so many of us poo poo polls, until they enable us to say “See! Rudy sucks!” which really these 2 worthless polls do not allow us to say.

Jesus wasn't an adulterous, gun-grabbing, pro-abortion liberal that liked to wear dresses and march in gay pride parades, so He wouldn't have a problem beating Hillary.

Nor would Ronald Reagan have had any problem destroying her.

Hillary nor the mood of the country is the problem. Giuliani is the problem.

Our economy is rather erratic right now, and I think there are many things which will be held against the right (despite any reasonable explanation). Rudy’s the wrong choice in any case.

I agree. The best chose is to unite the base....

Ah someone who knows the language of polls. You are 100% correct and I don’t think there is any way she will defeat anyone for the Oval Office. I just think the glue has started to come apart.

She can only win by being buffered from everyone. It’s not as simple when the media supports you on a “listening tour” in New York versus the country.

The more people see of her unscripted the more obvious joke she is. And I’m speaking from the guy and pray I’m right.

It really kind of depends on the internals of the polls. What if they oversampled blacks and Hispanics? What if they oversampled women? Without knowing the composition of people they sampled, we don’t really know if the numbers are accurate. And few of the pollsters ever release these numbers - probably because they’re afraid of having their polls picked apart.

You are correct. The Democrats have held a generic poll advantage ever since the days of FDR. This means Democrats can generally win elections by default. It is up to the Republican candidate to make the case for why the Democrat should not be elected.
