A new presidential campaign poll by Quinnipiac University released this morning shows Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton ahead of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani by 52 percent to 41 percent in New York state.
The poll found Clinton leads Illinois Sen. Barack Obama by 47 percent to 15 percent in a Democratic primary. Nine percent support former Vice President Al Gore even though he is not a candidate. Seven percent back former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards.
Giuliani’s leads among Republicans also is significant. He is backed by 48 percent of Republican voters. Arizona Sen. John McCain and former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson each had support among 8 percent. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney trailed in fourth place at 5 percent.
“Giuliani is â€ËÅ“America’s Mayor,’ but on his home turf, he trails Sen. Clinton by 11 points,â€? Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, stated in a press release.
The Sept. 24 to 30 survey of 1,504 New York State voters had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percent.

Maurice Caroll may be a good pollster..but he is a lousy
political pundit…New York is Hillaries Home Turf as
well, and the bluest of blue states..so the mere fact
that Rudy is competitive means Hillary would have
her hands full across the nation if he were the nominee
Probably so. She IS beatable.
Maybe a Giuliani-Thompson ticket could take
it 51-49 or so.
I still haven’t ruled out Romney yet.
good thing you haven’t ruled out Romney yet… what part in the decision process do you play in that??? since you do seem to be so sure of everything….
romney is not viable…I don’t care if he wins Iowa
and new hampshire….southern baptists will not
choose a mormon candidate..and romney simply has
changed his position on too many issues…
he is more a flip flopper than kerry was,,,
in order for the republicans to win,now that
california has decided not to split its electoral
votes…they have to be competetive in the following
states….CALIFORNIA, FLORIDA, MICHIGAN, PENNSYVANIA
NEW JERSEY, OHIO NEW MEXICO, ARIZONA, the only
republican who has that ability is Rudy….
his internal polling shows him in a close race
all others will lose to hillary
Yonkers Voter,
I am sure when it comes to facts.
I am sure when it comes to very strong
circumstantial evidence.
Other comments of mine are informed opinions,
and hopefully I state them in words
which makes that distinction.
California will always remained the same and was never taken serious as splitting the electoral college. California as in New York is Blue, period.
Most of the other states named remain the same as Battlegrounds to a degree, I believe New Mexico & Arizona remain GOP although…..immigration polices could decide that outcome as hundreds of thousands run through their backyards.
Pennsylvania could go GOP as Bush should have won that State the first time round. Reason he lost it was because of the Big, Big issue of Bush working for Liberal A. Specter against Conservative backed Pat Toomey…..Pay back from the right was much bigger then they thought said Karl Rove.
As I have been saying for many of weeks from ears to the other campaigns, Rudy is in the process of being shown the door…
This week alone, He has been thrown overboard by the NRA and now the Social Conservatives. Now a Bishop of the Catholic Church is weighing in. None of this is going to stop.
New Yorkers are having a hard time figuring this out as they are typical New York City Liberal Dwellers.
GOP has been read the riot act. No Rudy. Or millions will stay home (As in the past).....In other words…No Rockefeller Republicans come to this dance.
