Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) continues to hold a narrow lead over Senator Hillary Clinton (D) and former Vice President Al Gore (D) in early Election 2008 polling.
Giuliani leads Clinton 47% to 43% in the latest poll. That’s very similar to the 48% to 43% lead he enjoyed in late November. When matched against Gore, Giuliani now leads 46% to 43%. In November, he also enjoyed a three-point lead over the Democrats’ Election 2000 candidate.
Against either Democrat, Giuliani leads among men but trails among women. The two Democrats lead among voters under 30, but trail among other age groups.
Gore is now viewed favorably by 50% of Americans and unfavorably by 49%. That’s a bit better than in earlier surveys. For Clinton, the numbers are now 48% favorable and 50% unfavorable, a bit weaker than the last time we checked.
Neither Democrat comes close to Giuliani on the favorability scale. The man sometimes known as “America’s Mayor” is viewed favorably by seven out of ten Americans (71%).
Giuliani also does well in Republican primary polling. In fact, he is the top candidate in the early going. John McCain is second. McCain also leads Clinton and Gore in Election 2008 match-ups. In fact, Giuliani and McCain are ahead in every match-up no matter what Democrat we mention.
On the Democratic side, Clinton is the clear frontrunner. Gore has not made it clear whether he intends to run.

(((((RUDY POLL PING)))) PREPARE FOR INCOMING!! DUCK!!
Senator Hillary Clinton (D) = LIBERAL
Former Vice President Al Gore (D) = LIBERAL
Nuff said.
If it came down to a choice between Giuliani and McCain, I'd vote for Giuliani.
Rudy would be a good President for all Americans, not just one party. That would be a good thing.
And how does Rudy stack up agains Osama Obama?
Looking good!
Me too. And McCainiacs, please do not try to convince us that McCain is more conservative. He is, we know it. I just do not care because McCain is insane and I absolutely do not want him anywhere near the football.
Since we can't dig up Reagan, who would be your choice for our Republican nominee?
Wooo Hooo!
The stupid links in the article are not working. You may have to go to the link for the original article to see any matchups. Sorry about that.
Thats how I feel yet I hope those arent the only choices we have come '08
3 that probably wont run. Newt, Allen, Santorum.
Let's all sing the Barney Song!
Now that's an idea! Even a dead Ronald Reagan would be more conservative then Rudy Giuliani. ;^)
Right now, its too early to be choosing a candidate for 2008. And its absolutely outrageous for any serious conservative to be backing a liberal like Giuliani. So, its be patient and see who announces their intentionms to run in 2008.
One thing is for sure. I won't be voting for Rudolph the red nosed liberal.

Yeah, and plus, you never know when McCain is going to be on your side and when he is going to turn against you.
Similar polls in 1998 predicted that McCain would thrash everybody in the 2000 election. He didn't make it out of the primaries.
