On the same day that Rudy Giuliani comes to town, a Strategic Vision poll has released a poll that puts him at the top of the GOP presidential pack in Georgia.
On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton leads among Georgia, but both Barack Obama and John Edwards are close on her heels.
The poll by Strategic Vision, a Republican-leaning public affairs firm, also shows U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss, the Republican incumbent, beating Vernon Jones, the only Democrat who has expressed public interest in the ’08 Senate race, by 57 to 29 percent.
Here are the parameters of the three-day poll: 800 voters contacted April 5-7, with a breakdown of 46 Republican and 41 percent Democrat. Margin of error on the broadest questions was 3 percent, but much higher on primary questions.
Among Republicans, it was:
— Giuliani, 23 percent;
— John McCain, 17 percent;
— Fred Thompson, 12 percent;
— Newt Gingrich, 10 percent;
— Mitt Romney, 5 percent;
— Tom Tancredo, Sam Brownback, Tommy Thompson, all at 3 percent;
— Mike Huckabee, 2 percent;
— Chuck Hagel, Jim Gilmore and Ron Paul, all at 1 percent.
Among Demcorats, it was:
— Clinton, 25 percent;
— Obama, 22 percent;
— John Edwards, 20 percent;
— Bill Richardson, 4 percent;
— John Biden and Wesley Clark, 3 percent;
— Chris Dodd and Dennis Kucinich, 1 percent.

BTW, note that Fred Thompson, who is not a declared candidate, showed strong.
Most importantely, note that there is no strong front runner....this speaks volumes of the Republican electorate in Georgia which tends to be highly conservative.
There is a vacuum that has yet to be filled.....
This is surprising, as you wouldn’t expect this to be Giuliani Country. I’ll bet he’s polling strongest in the Atlanta suburbs.
Speaking of Georgia politics...
17% for McCain? Damn if I know what anyone sees in him anymore. Is there a cause he hasn’t betrayed by now?
Pretty puny lead. The MoE has to be at least 7%.
And polls turned out to be pretty accurate in 2006.
They’re not nearly as inaccurate as people around here claim they are - usually out of wishful thinking.
Now, STRAW polls are universally completely worthless.
23% ? I wouldn’t be confident with that number at all. A paltry swing of only 6% and the undeclared Fred moves to first place.
Its just the the Atlanta - Urinal Constipation.
Liberal loving rag.
*Yawn*
It sounds like Jimmy Carter voted multiple times.
If Rudy is the R candidate I will vote 3rd party. Much better candidates out there.
I don't think Rudy can win here, but he can easily finish a strong third. That's all he needs out of the south, as he will run the table in the far west and noertheast. When you look at the electoral map and the timing of the primaries, it is hard to come up with a scenario whereby Giuliani loses.
Well there are real conservative candidates if they can get the media. The media wants Rudy and it isn’t hard to guess why.
I am with you. Its time to come down to earth I didn’t vote R in the past to move to the left.
Time will tell, keep the faith!
“Some points about polls:”
You probably never took a statistics class.
Another poll where Duncan Hunter doesn’t even get listed. When is he going to do something to get his numbers above an asterik?
Dont believe a thing this fishwrap prints.One of the most left wing rags in the south.Check the circulation.What a joke!
Newt is a homegrown product there - why only 10?
Familiarity breeds contempt?
