Most registered Republicans are unfamiliar with Giuliani's position on social issues, with 34 percent of Republicans and 38 percent of social conservatives aware that he favors legalized abortion, the magazine said. And just 16 percent of Republican voters and 15 percent of social conservatives said they know he opposes a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.

Only 17 percent of Republican voters and 19 percent of social conservatives know that Giuliani supports gun control, Newsweek said.

Giulianni on gays or abortion I wouldn't know about. Guns, you have to figure that his thinking on what is right for the country versus what is necessary for NY city would have to be somewhat different.

Only 17 percent of Republican voters and 19 percent of social conservatives know that Giuliani supports gun control, Newsweek said.

The bottom line is that there is no candidate out there who favors an F-18 in every driveway, so they will all support some form of gun control to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. I wouldn't read too much into any candidate's statement that he is against gun control. It has too many meanings.

I think this result says more about how much conservatives dislike McCain than it does about how much they like Rudy.

GOP "Unaware" of Rudy's Stance on Guns, Gays, Abortion

I'm sure if he gets to the general election against Hillary, the media will be sure to tell them!

(GOP "Unaware" of Rudy's Stance on Guns, Gays, Abortion)

..there was some cognitive dissonance at CPAC

But as the campaign progresses--a couple of debates etc.--we may see things change--at least the GOP will not be able to plead ignorance...

"Most registered Republicans are not familiar with Giuliani's positions on key social issues," the magazine said, listing his support for abortion rights and gun control as examples.

"When asked about whether Giuliani's views on these same issues would be enough to prevent them from supporting him, few registered Republican voters said it would," it said.



I would hope that at least one of the other candidates will go after Rudy on these issues as hard as Hillary will hammer Obama in their primary.

When asked about whether Giuliani's views on these same issues (Guns) would be enough to prevent them from supporting him, few registered Republican voters said it would,................... Certainly 65% would not vote for him if they knew his in drag constume context: pandering for the gay vote of NYC.

"When asked about whether Giuliani's [liberal] views on these same issues [guns, gays, abortion] would be enough to prevent them from supporting him, few registered Republican voters said it would," it said.

Not exactly encouraging.

[ZULU]

Add ILLEGALS to that TOO. ALSO "HATE CRIMES".

This guy is a total leftist and is in the wrong party.

[devane617]

The RuBots are working every corner.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Yeah but anyone not living under a rock knows that Giulani was elected mayor of NYC and NYC is not Charleston.

[mmanager]

I am not in that poll. Read my tagline!

It's our job to let folks know what candidates stand for by writing letters to editors.

Let's change those poll #'s!

[cookcounty]

Rudy will drop 1% per week, by Christmas he'll be in single digits.

This a poll with Giuliani and McCain ONLY. There is no way Rudy gets 59% of the GOP support at this point.

[George W. Bush]

A rehash of that poll we've already posted to death. I had hoped for a new one.
