Giuliani leads McCain by 16 percentage points, a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll finds.
WASHINTON (CNN) -- Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has opened up a double-digit lead over Arizona Sen. John McCain in the race for the GOP presidential nomination, a new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll out Monday indicates.
Thirty-four percent of registered Republicans support Giuliani, while 18 percent support McCain, the poll finds. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney are each tied at nine percent in the poll.
In a similar CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll conducted at the end of January, McCain trailed Giuliani by only six percentage points, registering 26 percent to Giuliani's 34 percent.

Oh Brother! Even the anti-Rudy people have gotten past that stupid comment.
I think he did a good job after 9/11, but I don't trust him to run the country with the policies he has endorsed in the past. He can tell me till I am blue in the face how he will think at the national level, but for me, he's already shown his colors.
yes. I believe so,
Rudy is a strong leader.
There have been times in our nations history where people went against the conventional way of doing thing and did what was best for the country.
New lows are reached on a daily basis......
What does it matter? Rudy's not going to be the nominee;
Fred Thompson is, and will be the next President!
Ridiculous. Why don't you address real issues, or shut up.
YEAAAA RIIIIIGHT! When did you join the psychic hotline?
LOL! I thought we got past that stupid comment a long time ago. I haven't heard that in quite a while. At least most of the anti-Rudy people discuss issues like adults.
You obviously didn't notice, but you once again failed to answer the questions (not mine, but those of others) that might have led you to say something more than "I just like Rudy"--the only apparent reason you have for supporting him--as if he were a flavor of ice cream rather than a candidate for the most powerful office on earth. Well, I think you have plenty of company, maybe even enough to turn the Republican Party over to the liberals. I hope you like that flavor because you are in for a whole lot of it.
I am not wanting to turn our party over to the liberals. I am just doing the unusual thing of voting against some of the issues I feel very passionately about and voting for what is best for this country.
So what. Even my Basset Hound is leading McCain by double digits.
"...voting for what is best for this country."
What does Rudy have that no other candidate has?
Yea but this is shocking to the media's favorite McCain.
lol, only when it suits rudites.
The memory of seeing buildings collapse and people die in his city. The experiance of that day. People he knew died.
The PERSONAL hatred deep in his heart for our enemies. The will to never back down.
Do you remember his speech at the 04 convention ?
NO other candidates have that?
An interesting revelation. Let me guess: you are one of those pro-abort suburban soccer moms the media keeps talking about, and what really drives you is Rudy's sex appeal? Don't be embarrassed to 'fess up. At least two other women in Rudy's past have been similarly deceived.
No other candidates were the mayor of NYC on 9/11.
