Election 2008: Giuliani 28% McCain 20%
Rudy Giuliani (R) remains the top choice of Likely Republican Primary Voters even as many inside the beltway pundits dismiss his chances. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone poll shows Giuliani with 28% of the vote, eight points ahead of John McCain (R). Newt Gingrich is the only other Republican in double digits, earning support from 14% of GOP voters. Mitt Romney (R) is in fourth place with 8%. Those results are little changed over the past month in stark contrast to the Democratic competition where Senator Hillary Clinton (D) and Senator Barack Obama (D) are now virtually tied for the lead. Earlier, Clinton had held a substantial lead.
