Giuliani Notes: Elon University Poll Has Rudy Leading GOP Field
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani hold an edge among prospective candidates for the White House in five southeastern states, where most voters remain undecided, according to a poll released Saturday by Elon University.
In the GOP field, 31 percent of respondents who identified themselves as Republicans said it was too early to tell, while 25 percent said they didn’t know who they would vote for.
Giuliani had the support of 21 percent of those polled, while Sen. John McCain of Arizona had 16 percent and former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts got 3 percent.
Bacot said the GOP race seemed more open “since none of the candidates has a commanding lead.”
The poll was conducted Feb. 18-22 by the Elon University Institute for Politics and Public Affairs, which surveyed 719 residents in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. The margin of error was plus or minus 3.7 percent.
Rudy leads McCain by 5 and Mitt Romney is at 3 per cent.
Romney’s strategy to appeal to southern conservative voters seems to have had little effect.
And McCain’s organization in South Carolina does not provide a lead.
Stay tuned……..Flap will post more of the poll’s details when they are released.

It is disapointing to see the mainstream media only mentioning the GOP “frontrunners”. These are the same type of people that caused the GOP to lose in 2006.
We need someone like Rep./Dr. Ron Paul to bring back ethics to the party. He is the only one who has not flip flopped and who actually honors his oath of office.
For freedom,
