TPM Cafe Election Central’s Eric Kleefield picked up on a recent poll that shows former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani trailing double-digits to two leading Democratic candidates in New York.
The poll finds that in New York, Giuliani certainly does better than the other Republican candidates. Nonetheless, he still loses to both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama by wide margins:
Clinton (D) 52%, Giuliani (R) 39%
Obama (D) 50%, Giuliani (R) 40%Sure, Rudy would do better in east-coast blue states than his GOP rivals, but would he really put New York in play in any meaningful sense? Not according to these numbers.
Other Republicans, as Kleefield mentions, do much worse than Rudy.
Clinton (D) 54%, McCain (R) 36%
Clinton (D) 57%, F. Thompson (R) 29%
Obama (D) 50%, McCain (R) 33%
Gore (D) 56%, F. Thompson (R) 28%
