Rudy Trails McCain in NY: Poll

Posted Jan 21, 08 2:09 PM CST in Politics 

(Newser) – Onetime favorite Rudy Giuliani lags John McCain in his home state, two polls out today report, in another blow to the ex-New York mayor's sputtering campaign. In a Siena College poll, 36% of New York Republicans support McCain, to Giuliani's 24%, while a WNBC poll put the split at 34% to 23%. Only last month, Giuliani held a 33-point lead over McCain.

"While America's Mayor still has strong support among New York City Republicans, he is getting beat by McCain in the suburbs and trounced upstate," said a Siena pollster. GOP women moderately prefer Giuliani, but men are partial to McCain 3 to 1. The Siena poll also showed Hillary Clinton enjoying a 32% lead over Barack Obama among Democrats, driven partly by a 46% to 32% lead among African Americans.

    McCain, Obama Left No Place for Bloomberg If Rudy and Hillary were the frontrunners, Michael Bloomberg wouldn't have ruled out an independent bid for the presidency, as he did today, writes Jon Meacham of Newsweek.  But John McCain and Barack Obama, the putative nominees, have a lock on the “novelty narrative,” so the billionaire mayor—who's been successively a Democrat, then Republican, then independent—made “the wise business decision to save his money.” More »

    Obama Claims Super Tuesday Delegate Win With delegate allocations still incomplete after last night's voting, Barack Obama claims to have taken a lead over Hillary Clinton in Super Tuesday delegates. Counts vary, but they all show the two candidates virtually tied. NBC gives Obama about 840 to Clinton's 830—“give or take a few,” Tim Russert said on the Today show this morning, Politico reports. NBC has the running totals for the two Democrats only about 70 delegates apart, Russert said. More »
