“The survey of 394 Republicans and voters who “lean” Republican has a margin of error of +/- 5 percentage points.”
“I’m not sure I’d place too much stock in it.”
It’s a state by state issue, and what sort of values those states enspouse. I think Rudy is a huge gamble on the party’s existance....could he win...maybe...but I’m not sure the GOP wants to lose out on many conservatives whom I know will bail.
There's no way a guy who dressed up in drag and marched in a gay pride parade is ever going to become the GOP nominee. No way, no how. He was a great mayor for NYC, but he's definitely not presidential material. Too liberal to win the GOP nomination, and too big of a mean SOB to (which is exactly what New York needed, BTW) to win the Dems' nomination.
Here's my prediction: Rudy gets his head handed to him in Iowa and New Hampshire. From that point on he'll drop like a rock.
National polls this early mean nothing.
