Giuliani Has Comfortable Lead On Clinton In Red States, Even With Her In Blue States

...and currently has a 48 to 43 lead over her.

Of course, Clinton isn't getting the nomination. Obama is, and he's a lot more likable than the grating Hillary! (Likable, normal-seeming -- and very very liberal. But still, the gut counts for a lot.)

And Rudy will, I think, lose a good chunk of the base, and not get the nomination himself, if he continues running hard to the center-left on almost all social/values issues.

But still. Some more evidence of his basic strength, even if he's courting political disaster right now.

Then Again... California's early primaries (now less than a year away) might swing the primaries to both Hillary! and Rudy.

Rudy's Negatives: Deroy Murdock compiles Giuliani's huge negatives, and they're pretty damning impressive when all put together. Overall crime: negative 63% change; murders: negative 67% change; tax rate: negative 20% change; unemployment: negative 42% change; etc.

More Details About Poll... including various other possible head-to-head matchups.

Clinton tops former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney 49 - 37 percent;

Giuliani beats Illinois Sen. Barack Obama 47 - 40 percent;

Giuliani tops 2004 vice presidential candidate John Edwards 48 - 40 percent;

McCain ties Obama 43 - 43 percent;

McCain gets 43 percent to Edward's 42 percent, a tie;

Obama tops Romney 49 - 29 percent;

Edwards beats Romney 48 - 32 percent.

I'm not sure those are poll results or a question from last year's LSAT's. I do know, however, that the Princeton Review says Al Gore is always "the Joe Bloggs answer."

Giuliani kills Hillary! in Red States, runs even with her in Blue states, but, weirdly, trails her by one percent in Purple states. That last bit would seem to be statistical noise.
