Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Public support for Rudy Giuliani fell among Republican Party supporters in the United States, according to a poll by Opinion Dynamics released by Fox News. 24 per cent of respondents would vote for the former New York City mayor in a 2008 presidential primary, down nine points since April.
Arizona senator John McCain is second with 17 per cent, followed by former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney with nine per cent, actor and former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson with eight per cent, and former House of Representatives speaker Newt Gingrich with six per cent.
Support is lower for Kansas senator Sam Brownback, former Wisconsin governor Tommy Thompson, former Virginia governor Jim Gilmore, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, California congressman Duncan Hunter, Texas congressman Ron Paul, and Colorado congressman Tom Tancredo.
On May 18, Tancredo decried the proposed immigration plan developed in Washington, saying, "The president is so desperate for a legacy and a domestic policy win that he is willing to sell out the American people and our national security."
In American elections, candidates require 270 votes in the Electoral College to win the White House. In November 2004, Republican George W. Bush earned a second term after securing 286 electoral votes from 31 states. Democratic nominee John Kerry received 252 electoral votes from 19 states and the District of Columbia.
Bush is ineligible for a third term in office. The next presidential election is scheduled for November 2008.

It’s going to be nice to see some numbers after Thompson announces.
This is before the amnesty bill. McCain’s probably at 2% by now.
Who are these 17 percent??? I’ve never met even one republican that likes John McCain. How does this guy keep getting in 2nd place? Just WHO are these people polling?
Liberal Republicans = 24% (Giuliani)
Moderate Republicans = 17% (McCain)
Conservative Republicans a WHOPPING (Romney is campaigning as a CONSERVATIVE) = 57%
Giuliani CANNOT win.
The answer is ...older Republicans who still watch ABCBSNBC for their news, who have had a semi-love fest with McLame for years.

ROMNEY FOR PRESIDENT INC.
BRACEWELL & GIULIANI LLP 225.00 (Rudy’s law firm)
RAYTHEON 2,300.00 (Rudy’s client)
(ref to show it’s Rudy’s client: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1837076/posts?page=2#2 )
An ANNOUNCED Fred T. would whomp the two frontrunners.
What moderate would vote for McCain? He was involved in destroying POW data.
That aside, Julie-Annie isn't leading in the poll. He's tied at 24% with 'undecided'.
The SS Rooty is taking water and sinking fast. So man the lifeboats rootybots. But women, children, gays and gun grabbers are first.
What are your thoughts on post 9?
Moderate republicans are really conservatives without access to information. Once the campaign gets under way and our conservative candidate gets his info out there, I’m sure they’ll switch sides.
Good point.
People who SAY they are Republican when polled, but are actually clueless independents who only occasionally vote. When McCain's name is mentioned, they recognize the name and have some vague notion that he's somewhat OK.
The more that the conservative issues get put on the table like abortion and borders, the more little Rudie will shrink away.
The Rudiphiles must be getting positively frothy by now.
The 4th and 5th vote getters haven’t even declared. That’s gotta hurt for the rest.
Liberal Republicans = 24% (Giuliani)
Moderate Republicans = 17% (McCain)
Conservative Republicans a WHOPPING {Duncan Hunter is campaigning as a CONSERVATIVE) = 57%
Giuliani CANNOT win.
McCain CANNOT win.
Mitt Romney CANNOT win.
Sam Brownback CANNOT win
Tommy Thompson CANNOT win
Jim Gilmore CANNOT win
Mike Huckabee CANNOT win
Tom Tancredo CANNOT win
