Rudy continues to lead in all the polls.

Know why? Because there's a good percentage of Republican voters who are not conservatives at all. They're not the majority, but they seem to be about 20-30% of the voters. They support Rudy because all the other candidates are conservative. As a result, the various conservative GOP candidates split the vote of the Republican base, whereas Rudy keeps leading by taking the whole vote of the RINOs who despise conservative values.

But then, you probably know that . . . SINCE YOU ARE ONE OF THEM!

Ok - I resemble that remark.

But if your numbers are correct - why does Rudy have a 65% favorable rating among all Republicans?

Some where your numbers fail.

And nationally Rudy takes between 45% and 52% of the popular vote.

Hmm

Giuliani is the most popular candidate in either party—62% now have a favorable opinion of him. McCain’s favorability ratings among all voters have also fallen to the lowest level yet measured--49%. Thompson and Romney are less well known, viewed favorably by 35% and 32% respectively. See updated favorability ratings and general election match-ups for all Republican and Democratic candidates.
