Giuliani Notes: Rudy 35% McCain 22% Thompson 10% Romney 9% in Latest Gallup Poll
The Gallup Poll: Election 2008
There are clearly developed presidential front-runners within each major party. On the Democratic side, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton is the clear leader, maintaining a double-digit lead over Sen. Barack Obama. On the Republican side, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has emerged as the front-runner — although the lead he enjoyed in February and early March has diminished. Sen. John McCain remains in second place among the Republicans.
The GOP Nuts:
Favorability:
Giuliani maintains a positive image, although by late March his favorable rating had fallen by a few points to the lowest in Gallup’s three-year history of tracking his image. Still, his favorables are the highest of any candidate from either party, including a 74% favorable rating from Republicans. Giuliani gained steadily as the candidate of choice among Republicans in February and early March, but fell back in late March. Republicans consider him the most electable candidate in November.
Rudy continues to maintain a double digit lead over McCain. This latest poll shows that neither Fred Thompson nor Mitt Romney are making inroads into the top two candidates.
McCain and Romney show a slight uptick while Rudy goes down a bit.
Is this the reason McCain is going negative in South Carolina?
However, McCain’s fundraising ability is suspect.
