When Georgia voters consider four possible general-election match-ups, the top two Democratic presidential contenders consistently trail two leading Republicans. But Senator Hillary Clinton does much better than Senator Barack Obama in the match-ups—thanks largely to her greater popularity with women and despite her high negatives.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone shows GOP frontrunner Rudy Giuliani leading Clinton 48% to 44% (see crosstabs). Former Senator Fred Thompson leads Clinton 47% to 44%. Giuliani leads Obama 51% to 37% Thompson leads the Illinois Senator 48% to 39%.

Both Democrats lag by 24 percentage points or more among male voters. Clinton's advantage with Georgia women is not as great as the GOP advantage with men, but it's substantial. Against Giuliani she has a 13-point edge among women. Against Thompson it's 18 points.

Obama and each Republican opponent are more competitive among female voters.

Nationally, Clinton holds a slight edge over both Giuliani and Thompson. Another survey shows Obama neck-and-neck with both Republicans.

Clinton is viewed favorably by 49% of likely voters in the state, unfavorably by 50%. Those figures include 27% with a Very Favorable opinion and 40% with a Very Unfavorable assessment.

Seventy-two percent (72%) of Georgians look favorably on Giuliani. Thompson also enjoys fairly high overall support, with 56% viewing him favorably. But the actor and former Senator doesn't evoke as intense a response as either Clinton or Giuliani.

Obama is viewed favorably by 46% of Georgians, unfavorably by 52% (with 31% Very Unfavorable).

Georgians support a get-tough approach to illegal immigration. Seventy-three percent (73%) say a police officer who pulls someone over should routinely check whether the driver is in the country legally. That matches the national average. Eighty-one percent (81%) say illegal immigrants should not be allowed to get driver's licenses. That’s a few points higher than the national average.
