Giuliani 47% Clinton 44%; Clinton 48% Thompson 44% Friday, August 31, 2007 Advertisment Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani leads New York Senator Hillary Clinton 47% to 44% in the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. A month ago, Giuliani enjoyed a seven-point edge.
In six polls conducted between November 2006 and April of this year, Giuliani was ahead of Clinton each time with margins ranging from two to nine points. The match-up between the frontrunners tightened from May to early July. During that stretch, the two candidates were within a point of each other four times. Clinton led by a single point in a July 10 survey, the only time all year she’s topped Giuliani in a national poll.
However, the last two polls show Giuliani ahead once again.
The latest poll also shows Clinton leading former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson 48% to 44%. Thompson, who will formally announce his candidacy next Thursday, has been closely matched with Clinton in six polls conducted since March. The candidates have been within one point of each other in three of the six polls while Clinton has enjoyed a 3 or 4 point lead in the others.

There was an article in the NY Post about the support RG has from the religious groups and how it was surprisingly strong
Given that the margin of error is going to be about 4%, it looks like both matchups show statistical ties.
Fred Thompson hasn’t even announced and he’s running almost even. That’s very impressive on his part. When he enters, he may pull ahead, in spite of the political climate.
Rudy Giuliani also continues to show strength.
Here’s a related thread.
OK, liberals don’t like the idea of having to deal with Fred Thompson and are praying it’s Giuliani the GOP candidate...
Interestingly, someone who is relatively unknown and not even an announced candidate is within striking distance of HRC.
Considering Clinton’s negatives are close to 50%, I find these poll results to be incredible.
This election is going to come down to the wire, just like the last two.
But I think we have the advantage and will take the W against Hildabeast, just like the last two times.
The liberal tears that will be shed from losing 3 elections in a row will raise the sea level more than global warming could ever do. :)
Well isn’t that nice. Now can we have a state by state analysis please, since presidents are elected by the states individually, not collectively.
“Interestingly, someone who is relatively unknown and not even an announced candidate is within striking distance of HRC.”
The man is appealing from many standpoints.
I didn’t like his support for CFR but that is the only fault I find.
I simply cannot vote for a liberal Julie-Annie. If he represents what the Republican party wants, then I am without a party.
Fred Thompson (R) vs. Hillary Clinton (D)
Fred Thompson (R) 44%
Hillary Clinton (D) 48%
Since Thompson is not even a declared candidate, this does not look good for Clinton.
Rasmussen is marinated in bullsh•t...
Watch in the coming months how that transfers to Thompson. Julie will undergo a reverse metamorphosis -- from a butterfly to a worm.
Don’t worry, the Beast will get a third party candidate (Michael Blomberg or some such) to tip the balance toward her.
These results are pretty much on par with every single poll taken in the last couple months.
Hillary just isn’t that popular...
With a loss the dems will go from on top of the world to the “facing extinction” and “naval gazing” charges of the media. Especially they are considered strong favorites in the generic ballot.
“The liberal tears that will be shed from losing 3 elections in a row.” .............. “Losing” in liberal speak is “stolen”. They never lose elections, they always have them stolen. When their candidate wins an election (i.e.1992) with only 39% of the votes then it’s considered an overwhelming victory.
