Election 2008: Edwards (D) 47% Giuliani (R) 45%
Rasmussen Reports ^ | May 16, 2007 | Scott Rasmussen

Posted on 05/16/2007 8:31:28 AM PDT by Kuksool

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 “America’s 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%. That’s 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.

If he’s “socially moderate” name five Republicans that are farther to the left than he is. He is socially an extreme LIBERAL.

As I've said before and will undoubtedly say again:

The Democrats have a historic opportunity to nominate a woman, a black or a Hispanic this time around. After much soul-searching and wearing of hearts on sleeves, I believe the Democrats will nominate a white guy from the South. That's what worked the last time.

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.)

Rudy isn’t going to get the nomination so the question is moot.

Neither is the Breck Girl so doubly moot.
