Giuliani leads in key 2008 states, Gore shows strong: poll
11 minutes ago


WASHINGTON (AFP) - Republican Rudolph Giuliani is favored over Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton for the US presidency in three key electoral states, while ex-vice president Al Gore might be the Democrats strongest choice for 2008, a new poll showed Thursday.

The Quinnipiac University poll showed that former New York mayor Giuliani, who is leading the race for the Republican presidential nomination, would beat Democrat Senator Clinton solidly in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

The poll showed that Ohio had switched sides for Giuliani from an earlier March survey, but that she held the same against the Republican in Pennsylvania and gained ground in Florida.

However, the Quinnipiac numbers showed that non-candidate Gore, who lost the 2000 presidential race to George W. Bush in a controversial Florida showdown, could do better than Clinton against Giuliani in those states. Giuliani led the now-global warming activist 47-43 percent in Florida and the two were tied at 44 percent each in Pennsylvania.

But Gore trailed Giuliani in Ohio much more, with the poll 47-39 percent for the Republican.

"Mayor Rudoph Giuliani remains the front-runner, but he and the entire Democratic field should wonder if Al Gore will become an inconvenient truth in the 2008 presidential race and go for the biggest Oscar of them all," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

1. Al Gore works for me.

2. Rudy is so under the radar that polls can't really measure support

I'm not saying that it isn't there but Rudy has made two speeches of note

One was at the CPAC thing which was basically a Bush speech

the second was the other night with the "republicans will keep you safe"

Over than that he is totally out of the spotlight so people are just answering based on what they have seen of him and his reputation as a frontrunner.

On the other side Edwards has gotten no press other than his wife's cancer and the haircut BS and still he is right there.

3. Please Al....

save our country. I truly believe he's the only person capable of undoing the damage done by the Bushitas. Please Al, PLEASE?

4. Gore trailing 47-39 percent in Ohio

That sounds bad ... until you remember that Gore is not actually a candidate. Hmmm ... 39 percent for a guy who isn't evening running. That's damn good! :D

Run Al, run!!! :bounce:


On edit: A more accurate spin on the info would be ... "Giuliani leads a non-candidate by only 8 percent!"

7. Exactly my thought! Imagine how high his rating will be when he actually announces!
