Giuliani Falling?
Is it the beginning of the end for Rudy Giuliani? As if lagging behind Mitt Romney in fundraising isn't enough, two new polls show him fighting in New Hampshire.
A CNN poll has Giuliani and McCain tied 29%-29% in the New Hampshire Primary with former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney at 17%. While, a Zogby Telephone poll as Romney tied with McCain at 25% a piece and Giuliani lagging third at 19%.
Meanwhile, a new Quinnipiac Poll shows Giuliani losing his HOME STATE to...well...almost everybody. He trails Senator Clinton in New York 50%-42%, trails former Senator John Edwards 47%-43% and ties Obama 44%-44%. The former Mayor of New York City and once considered the only Republican capable of winning statewide in the uber-blue state can't even hit 45% in the polls against any Democrat. Giuliani runs strong elsewhere, but Republican hopes that New York will go red in 2008 for the first time in almost a quarter century are probably dashed right now.
All other Republicans lose New York miserably. Clinton blows Mitt Romney out of the water in New York 61%-26%. Clinton has a 68% approval rating in New York, near the percentage she won reelection by last November. President Bush, meanwhile, has a mere 26% approval rating.
Interesting Note: 1/3 of all New York Republicans are essentially Democrats, approving of Clinton while disapproving of Bush.
