Siena poll: New Yorkers still favorites at home

Posted by: Liz Anderson - Posted in 2008, elections, Fred Thompson, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, polls, president, Washington, White House on May 31, 2007

A new Siena Research Institute poll shows Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani continuing to lead the pack of presidential candidates on their respective tickets in New York state.

In the poll’s hypothetical matchups, Clinton leads likely GOP contender Fred Thompson 57 percent to 29 percent. She leads Arizona Sen. John McCain 54 percent to 36 percent, and Giuliani 52 percent to 39 percent.

Clinton’s favorability rating is 56 percent, up from a dip to 50 percent last month. Giuliani’s trend isn’t as good—he slid to 51 percent, down from 56 percent in April and 60 percent in March.

   as much as I like Rudy, in New York he has a particular
   problem endemic to just new york and that is the 9/11
   responders issue which in todays news and post made
   clear that now multiple myelomas are appearing in
   very young responders that usually don’t appear in
   people until they are in their 60’s..the issue
   of whether rudy did enough to protect these brave
   people at ground zero after the attacks is becoming
   a bit of an albatross around his neck but more
   so in new york because that is where the 10,000
   people who are sick and in the lawsuit live..and
   if you multiply the 10,000 times the number of close
   relatives and friends you get hundreds of thousands
   of people who may be developing a negative opinion
   simply becuase of that one issue
