In a 2008 general election match-up, former North Carolina Senator John Edwards (D) leads former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani by only two points, 47% to 45% (see crosstabs).
Giuliani has closed the gap over the past month. In April, Edwards had an eight-point advantage over the man known as Americas Mayor. Edwards may have been benefiting at that time from sympathetic attention evoked by his wife's recurring breast cancer. Prior to that April survey, Giuliani had been ahead of Edwards by at least a point or two in Rasmussen Reports election surveys.
The current survey also shows Edwards leading Arizona Senator John McCain (R) 48% to 41%. Thats little changed from our March survey when Edwards enjoyed a nine-point advantage over McCain. We did not poll an Edwards-McCain match-up in April.

So it's going to be Edwards or Gore. ("His" movie won an Oscar and he's up for a Nobel Peace Prize. That kind of publicity could push him into the race.)
Neither is the Breck Girl so doubly moot.
