NBC poll to report Clinton has 6% advantage over Giuliani

[antiimperialist]

The poll has been leaked to Rawstory. Hillary is up 47-41. Her lead grows to 7% with Bloomberg on the mix. No details on a hypothetial Obama- or Edwards- matchup against any Republican.

1. Thanks. Seeing any of our candidates up over the decrepit Ghouliani is good news...

2. Agree. I'm certainly no Hillary fan, but I'd take any of our candidates over any of theirs.

Including Kucinich. :hi:

Someone said Kucinich.

4. Shouldn't She Be Leading Warmonger Gouliani By More than 6%??

Voters are opposed to the war by more than 2-1 margins.
Ghouliani wants to keep the war going forever and probably attack Iran too.

Voters want a Democrat to be the next President by double-digit margins.
So why is Hillary Clinton only leading the Ghoul by 6%.

This poll must be a great relief to Ghouliani's people and the other Repiglickins.
They can easily cut that margin by a few points once the Mighty Slime Machine kicks in for the general election,
and then Diebold can do the rest to keep the Repigs in power.

WE GOTTA DO BETTER THAN THIS!!!!

5. I'm not saying I question the methodology or anything

based on a quick article, but it is a poll held by the WSJ and NBC. I first would kind of want to know who their poll is, what the demographics look like and how manypeople were polled.

Next, I still wouldn't want to consider these "real" numbers this early because, well, it is this early. We haven't made it to the primaries, this is just a head-to-head of the front-runners--and sometimes, actually, front-runners as of the year before the election, don't actually end up being the candidates in the big show. The two factors currently weighting the prospective candidates *nationally* are (my best guess) Giuliani as the 9-11 anti-terrorist guy and Clinton as, well, Bill's wife who did the health care thing back in the first term and coined the term "vast right wing conspiracy." My gut tells me these impressions will be undone in the primary race.

At this stage in the campaigns, they have not gone head-to-head as presidential contenders, but they are both *out of NY* (whoa--the CW would be shocked to see all Yankees--the running mates would have to be Edwards and Thompson, if you were trying to play to the South, for strategery's sake--assuming political parties play "Fantasy Baseball" with their picks, which I kind of think they sometimes do.) Project about a year ahead, when the dirt has settled on both of 'em. Now, Clinton has the edge here, technically--she's had her figurative and literal underwear drawer emptied out publically--and Giuliani hasn't. Any Clinton news is old news, and Giuliani news is new (to the nation--I guess people local to NYC would feel differently.) Her other advantage is her spouse. No comment on any negative points to Giuliani.

She also has better hair. :)
