Hillary Clinton leads Rudy Giuliani 51% to 40% in an early look at the race for New Jerseys Electoral Votes. A Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds that Clinton has larger leads over other Republican Presidential hopefuls. She leads Fred Thompson by eighteen points (53% to 35%), John McCain by sixteen (52% to 36%), and Mitt Romney by twenty-four (55% to 41%).
Clinton is viewed favorably by 58% of Garden State voters while Giuliani earns positive reviews from 59%. Fifty percent (50%) offer a positive assessment of both Thompson and McCain while 39% express a favorable opinion of Romney.
Seventy-seven percent (77%) of the states voters say its at least Somewhat Likely that Democrats will win New Jersey in Election 2008. Only 12% say its not likely.
Before that, however, there are state legislative elections featuring corruption and property tax relief as leading issues. Fifty-seven percent (57%) of voters say corruption is the top issue while 36% are more interested in property taxes. However, they dont have much faith in either political party to address either issue.
Thirty-three percent (33%) say they trust Democrats more on the corruption issue while 29% prefer the GOP. Thirty-three percent (33%) dont trust either party and 5% are not sure.
What's most amazing is that most of the people who actually vote for an treasonous idiot like Rob Andrews don't even know the treasonous idiot's name. All they know is that he had the D next to his name on election day.
It's stunning how little people in this area know... about anything, really. I preferred the activist leftists in California to the unwitting, uninformed dupes here on the east coast. These people are beneath contempt.
Ohio’s teetering like Pennsylvania was twenty years ago. It will fall, it’s only a matter of when.
Same goes for Virginia, Missouri and Colorado. It’s just a matter of time.
I can’t think of a single blue state could swing red in the coming years. Not one.
The future prospects for the GOP are bleak. And if Ohio falls sooner rather than later and Hillary takes the throne in January of 2009, those prospects go from bleak to dead.
I'm not
Giuliani has a much better shot at PA than NJ.
Just giving you the last poll numbers I saw. I think it was Survey USA.
The data I have seen (now about 2 weeks old) is that Rudy ties in WI, wins OH and KY, loses MN. Fred wasn't close in any except KY, but still lost to Hillary bigger than Rudy.
Call me crazy but isnt 55 - 41 = 14.
Talk about a typo or is it called just trying to fit the template.
Unfortunately, there wasn't one non-South state where Fred had a lead over Hillary. None. And he was much further behind her than Rudy was in the competitive states.
Somehow, Giuliani is currently ahead of Clinton in MO, my home state...that’s a bit of a shocker at this point in time...
Ah....but the “real conservatives” (at least those who support this unpopular war) are losing everywhere too. Unless the GOP switches course on that issue, say hello to President Hillary.
My take---and I can be way off---is that people (especially on the broadly-defined right)---prefer Fred, but are still waiting to see him actually DO something. His initial speeches have not been viewed as "energetic" or "inspiring." He says the right things, but not in a way that has people running out to hand out campaign literature. I think if Fred doesn't do something to really inspire people in the next month, Rudy's numbers will go back up again.
If it is Rudy vs. Hillary, you'll get the 5% of uber-conservatives who will never vote for a pro-abort candidate to sit home, but I think the other 95% of conservatives who vote on a wide variety of issues will (often grudgingly) support Rudy. So far, he is the only one to consistently attack Hillary and his anti-Moveon ad was terrific.
He missed a chance to weigh in on Rush---Fred nailed it---but it hasn't bumped Fred up the way Rudy's NY Times anti-Moveon ad did.

Going from Rokuema (sp?) to Garrett has to be one of the greatest trades up in all time.
This still isn't a reason to nominate Rooty Toots as he also supports the war.
Hillary will fight the war with less restriction and more success than Bush has, with the media behind her all the way. And popular support will follow suit.
The war’s unpopular because the box in everybody’s living room is telling them how bad it is. Keep deluding yourself with these notions that the American people are tossing and turning at night over questions of the mission’s worthiness or the war’s constitutionality. It’s pure fantasy.
They believe what the people on the box tell them to believe. Especially when the box spends the better part of five years hammering home a narrow, singular message (THE WAR IS BAD). The way you Paulestinians walk around like that’s a feather in your cap is laughable.
The socialist media controls this war. All you’re doing is cheering them on.
Of course the Dem will ultimately get the usual blue states. The thing is, not only will Rudy not get the blue states, he’ll lose some of the red because conservatives will not vote for a liberal.
I can’t wait to move away, don’t worry Southern Folk, I won’t be coming to vote Democrat and ruin your state. (I will be trying to take your hottest women though)
So according to these polls...we have to choose between a gun-grabbing socialist wench, or a gun-grabbing capitalist turd.
To clarify, I love capitalism and don’t automatically classify a capitalist as a turd. Just Rudy, who also happens to be a turd...and is at least capitalist in his personal affairs...not so sure on his public ones.
Do you think Fred has a chance in either one?
