Giuliani Notes: Rudy Widens Lead in Fox News Poll
On the Republican side, Giuliani has once again widened his lead over McCain. Today, Giuliani has a 20-point edge, garnering the support of 39 percent of self-identified Republicans to McCain’s 19 percent. A month ago, Giuliani topped McCain by 12 points (January 30-31).
Former Speaker Newt Gingrich, who says he will decide whether to enter the race later in the year, comes in third with 7 percent, and former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney receives the backing of 6 percent.
Without Gingrich in the race, Giuliani tops McCain by 43 percent to 19 percent.
Voters agree with the “America’s Mayor” nickname that Giuliani was tagged with after 9/11.
A 65 percent majority thinks that moniker is a good description of Giuliani, including not only 79 percent of Republicans, but also 62 percent of independents and 55 percent of Democrats.
Rudy is decisively beating McCain in poll after poll. Mitt Romney is struggling to obtain 10 per cent.
Flap thinks it is unlikely that Newt will enter the race. His unfavorable ratings are too high.
This race may well be over after Labor Day if Giuliani continues to rack up these numbers.
Of course, Flap thinks it is already over.
