Giuliani 47% Clinton 44%; Clinton 48% Thompson 44% Friday, August 31, 2007 Advertisment Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani leads New York Senator Hillary Clinton 47% to 44% in the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. A month ago, Giuliani enjoyed a seven-point edge.
In six polls conducted between November 2006 and April of this year, Giuliani was ahead of Clinton each time with margins ranging from two to nine points. The match-up between the frontrunners tightened from May to early July. During that stretch, the two candidates were within a point of each other four times. Clinton led by a single point in a July 10 survey, the only time all year she’s topped Giuliani in a national poll.
However, the last two polls show Giuliani ahead once again.
The latest poll also shows Clinton leading former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson 48% to 44%. Thompson, who will formally announce his candidacy next Thursday, has been closely matched with Clinton in six polls conducted since March. The candidates have been within one point of each other in three of the six polls while Clinton has enjoyed a 3 or 4 point lead in the others.

That’s the plan. You can count it.
Personally, I think it’s Ron Paul.
That is true. But no one has ever lost an election with such a wide discrepancy in the popular vote. Giuliani would win with these numbers - somehow - if he is the nominee. Clearly Fred is within striking range too.
All of the republican front running candidates are head and shoulders above any of the democrats. My preference is Romney at this point, but I could vote for any of them.
Hillary Clinton... Give me a brake. The woman is a bitter, cold, psychologically impaired bitch. You thought Stalin was bad?
Obama... What the hell has he done? Where the hell did he come from?
John Edwards...? Geoffrey Fieger is one of his biggest fans. That says it all.
Dennis Kucinich.... No comment necessary.
Conservatives need to unite and win in 2008. Remember, run like you’re 10 points behind.
Bozo the Clown is within striking distance of HRC. When the pedal hits the metal and human Americans actually go to vote in November 2008, they will not vote for Hillary Clinton for President of the United States. If she is the rat nominee, that election will be the most astonishing GOP landslide in history. No matter WHO the GOP candidate is.
Unless it's a credible, conservative Independent... it won't help her. Bloomberg would take votes from her.
I suspect that at this point Thompson and Giuliani get about the same electoral count in state by state polling. Most of the south and the west is going to be rather monolithic in opposing Hillary. Rudy gains a few points by not getting wiped as bad in New York, Pennsylvania, and California. Don’t get me wrong, I am sure Rudy is losing those states also, but not by as much.
Actually Rasmussen is themost accurate pollster.
Her highest number is 48%, and there is no way it can go above that. Too many people hate her. The other thing to consider is turnout. Her presence in the race guarantees massive Republican turnout and low Dem turnout. The only way she can possibly win is if there is a strong center-right third party candidate.
“I simply cannot vote for a liberal Julie-Annie. If he represents what the Republican party wants, then I am without a party.”
Fine then! If your going to do that then I’m going to vow not to vote for Fred, President Hillary Clinton be damned. Making my point is more important than what happens to this country (and those poor darn military people over there in Iraq).
At this stage, it is all pure name recognition. Once the Thompson campaign engages and gets their man in front of the people on a consistent basis, I suspect these numbers will change.
I have to admit, I relish the thought of a Fred and Hillary debate. Her nasally screech against his down home drawl and “common folk” speech patterns. The contrast will be delicious.
“If she is the rat nominee, that election will be the most astonishing GOP landslide in history. No matter WHO the GOP candidate is.”
I wish you were right. However, what I would be concerned about is Ohio and Florida. Those are the only two places that everything being equal, Hillary can literally steal.
I think the RATS believed that they could steal Ohio in 2004 and something went seriously wrong. It is the only way I could explain Bush being up by 118,000 votes and CNN not giving him the state while Bush was down by 11,000 in Wisconsin and they already gave it to Kerry.
The RATS are going to steal something. Question is what? My thought is Richardson as veep and they go after Virginia and New Mexico.
I just hope Fred doesn't have too many more "Miss Teenage South Carolina" momments like he did at the VFW. At least he'll get unlimited retakes for his campaign ads.
The point has already been made, Thompson is withing striking distance of HRC and this is without a formal announcement. I look forward to the coming days of the campaign when debates and townhall meetings start up. FDT will bury HRC she will be a footnote in history, the First Lady who became a senator and nothing else.
The Libs' agenda is to go to popular elections.
Now that's the line of the day! LOL!
Too bad you followed with the other silliness.
Exactly . I would suspect that there are many people who won't commit to someone who isn't in the race . If and when Thompson gets in , the whole dynamic of this Republican race will change dramatically .
There is a giant void not currently being filled , and Thompson appears to be the only one who can fill it, and go on to win the general .
Bloomie entering would be a Godsend to us.
No conservative or independent would vote for him, in fact they distain him, and that comes straight out of the pocket of (hillary!)
Your thinking is like saying that Nader would be bad for Bush.
Now if Bloomie was a real independent liber type like Perot, that would be one thing, but he is not. Far from it.
Exactly why (hillary!) will tag someone who can deliver one of those SW states, ala Richardson.
Of course, if she gets Ohio, the game is damn near lost and that is very possible.
The South is red. The NE & California are blue.
Go, go Rudy !
Actually, no dem did the last time either, but the MSM is not admitting that Florida is no longer a swing state anymore.
The gap here is getting larger, but Ohio may be trending towards blue.
As far as talk about landslides against (hillary!) that is whistling past the graveyard.
In the game, she has most of the advantages in 08, her foul personality aside.
