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.
Check out the favorability ratings for all Republican candidates, Democratic candidates, Congressional Leaders and other Political leaders.
That graphic was almost as scary as seeing Hildabeast without her makeup. Oh wait, she is just as ugly with makeup.
I was just having some fun!
Merry Christmas!
Well thats not bad either. That only means it will be McCain vs. Rudy.
What a LIE.
Amen.
I'm sorry for mouthing off at you. Merry Christmas to you too! :-)
And hey, I actually like Rudy as a candidate! I'd vote for him in a heartbeat over McCain!
Question is, what is the opposition going to do with these photos?
It is all but impossible for any one of those to be elected president...especially Allen or Santorum...you do know that, right?
It's true, and you know it ... so just shut up and take it.
LOL I would love to tell you what the opposition could do with these photos but I'll get kicked off! LOL! Oh they will probably use them to scare the ultra right conservatives into a frenzy! LOL
That's very good news. Considering if he campaigns and debates against her she'd be in for a rough time.
Of course, polls this far out, yadda yadda.
Yeah, well...the grape flavor is pretty damn good. ;^)
Anyone whose vote could be swayed by those pictures wouldn't have voted for Guiliani anyway.
Why? Is that a real mink stole, or something?
Good point!
Yep - it will inflame the PETA crowd!!!!
What you are showing is that Guiliani and McCain are tied given the margin of error. That accurately reflects reality and there seems to be little reason to doubt that the nominee will be one of those two. I would vote for either over any RAT.
What the poll does NOT show is any weighting for state primaries. Thus, when one considers that Guiliani will win at least NY, NY, Il, MI, PA, Ohio, Wisconsin, and CA and more conservative candidates will win some of the Western states McCain expects to win the latter's chances drop pretty far.
I do not expect any clear winner going into the convention but do expect Guiliani will have the most delegates by far due to big state victories.
Good grief. Those choices are just ridiculous. No wonder most people do not even vote. If I had to choose among those candidates I would simply not vote at all. People should pressure the political parties to put forward better choices than this.
Rudy`s liberal poltiics is scary enough for most conservatives. The pictures just enforce what most folks who are paying attention already know. Rudy is a member in good standing of the liberal fruitcakes of NYCity. One very strange character. He will not get the GOP nomination. Rudy may decide to not even run in the Republican primaries.
Agreed. The entire political spectrum is leaning to the left and has been steadily. The right is becoming left and the left is becoming nuts.
