OF INTEREST:

Huckabee was favored in a head-to-head matchup with Clinton, 56 percent to 35 percent, in this heavily Republican state. Clinton also trailed McCain (61-31), Romney (51-30), and Giuliani (50-38). Edwards led against Romney (50-37), appeared slightly ahead of Giuliani (48-42) and was about even with Huckabee, but was 11 percentage points behind McCain. Oklahoma has not supported a Democrat in a presidential election since Lyndon Johnson in 1964.

It has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.6 percentage points for the 745 registered voters surveyed. For questions asked of 338 Republicans only, the error margin was plus or minus 5.3 percentage points. For questions asked of 380 Democrats only, the error margin was plus or minus 5 percentage points.

Poll: Clinton, Giuliani Strong with Connecticut Voters

MyFoxNY.com -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a Democratic candidate for  president, enjoys strong support among Connecticut voters but faces a tough battle against former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, according to an  exclusive FOX TV / Rasmussen Reports poll.

The poll indicates that Clinton would beat some major Republican candidates by wide margins. Clinton would top former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson 52 percent to 34 percent. Against Arizona Sen. John McCain, the former First Lady would win 47 percent to 39 percent. And when matched up with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Clinton would garner 53 percent of the vote in Connecticut versus Romney's 34 percent.

                                    

But should Clinton face Giuliani in the general election, the outcome could go either way. She polls 46 percent to Giuliani's 43 percent, which is within the margin of error and is therefore a statistical tie.

Connecticut voters also indicated that they prefer Clinton over their own state's Democratic candidate, Sen. Christopher Dodd. Fifty-one percent of those surveyed said Dodd should get out of the race now.

The poll also showed that Connecticut voters are unhappy with President Bush, but largely support their own governor even though she is also a Republican: 58 percent of voters rated President Bush's performance as "poor." Gov. Jodi Rell, however, remains popular: 37 percent rated her performance as "good" and 27 percent rated her "excellent."

N.J. Poll: Clinton Widens Lead Over Democrats, Beats Giuliani

THE RACE: The presidential primary for Democrats, Republicans in New Jersey.

THE NUMBERS - DEMOCRATS

Hillary Rodham Clinton, 52 percent

Barack Obama, 21 percent

John Edwards, 8 percent

Joe Biden, 3 percent

Dennis Kucinich, 1 percent

Bill Richardson, 1 percent

THE NUMBERS - REPUBLICANS

Rudy Giuliani, 54 percent

John McCain, 12 percent

Fred Thompson, 6 percent

Mitt Romney, 6 percent

Mike Huckabee, 3 percent

Tom Tancredo, 2 percent

------

OF INTEREST:

Giuliani's support among Republicans and those who identified themselves as Republican-leaning dropped 7 percent from a similar poll conducted in August. Clinton's support rose 7 percent among Democrats from the August poll. Clinton leads in a general election matchup between her and Giuliani, 49 percent to 39 percent. Her support among women is also climbing -- she leads Giuliani by 18 points among women, compared with the 9-point lead she enjoyed in August. Sixty-eight percent of Clinton's supporters say they are very sure of their vote; 45 percent of Giuliani supporters say they are very sure, but more than half say they may change their minds before the Feb. 5 New Jersey primary.

Poll: Clinton Beats Giuliani in New Jersey

MyFoxNY.com -- Sen. Hillary Clinton enjoys very strong support among voters in the Tristate area when it comes to the 2008 presidential election. At the New Jersey polls, Clinton, a Democrat, would defeat  any of the major Republican contenders in the presidential election, according to a Fox TV / Rasmussen Reports poll released Monday.

Clinton, a U.S. senator from New York and the former First Lady, polls well against former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former senator from Tennessee Fred Thompson, Arizona Sen. John McCain, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

In each match-up, Clinton polls more than 50 percent, according to the survey of 500 likely voters from New Jersey. Against Giuliani, Clinton wins 51 percent to 40 percent. She edges Thompson with 53 percent of the vote to 35 percent. She defeats McCain 52 percent to 36 percent and she trounces Romney 55 percent to 31 percent.

                                    

The poor showing by these four Republicans could be tied to President Bush's dismal support in the Garden State. The poll showed 51 percent of voters surveyed rate Bush's performance as president as "poor." Nineteen percent said "fair," 15 percent "good" and 14 percent "excellent." More telling with this question is that voters had a definite rating -- 0 percent answered "not sure."

Other notable results from the poll showed that Gov. Jon Corzine, a Democrat and former colleague of Clinton's in the Senate, isn't enjoying strong support.  Thirty-three percent of voters rate his performance as "fair" and a full 30 percent responded "poor."

New Jersey voters also display an almost equal distrust of the two major political parties, perhaps reflecting ongoing and recent political scandals in the state involving arrests for corruption.

When asked which party would they trust more to reduce corruption in government, 33 percent said "Democrats," 29 percent said "Republicans" and 33 percent said "neither" -- that is a statistical tie. Similarly, Democrats and Republicans scored a virtual tie on the question of which party is trusted more to provide property tax relief. Republicans polled at 35 percent and Democrats at 34 percent.

Poll: In Florida, Clinton Leads, Thompson Gains on Giuliani

THE RACE: Support for Republican, Democratic candidates in the presidential races in Florida

THE NUMBERS - DEMOCRATS

Hillary Rodham Clinton, 38 percent

Barack Obama, 15 percent

Al Gore, 13 percent

John Edwards, 8 percent

THE NUMBERS - REPUBLICANS

OF INTEREST:

Without Gore, who has not said he is running, the advantage in the Democratic race goes even more to Clinton. Based on the second choice of Gore's supporters, Clinton picks up five more points, compared with one more for Obama and three more for Edwards. Among Republicans, Giuliani's lead in Florida has narrowed since he held a 17-point margin over Thompson in early June. In the latest survey, the two split the white Evangelical vote, among the GOP's most loyal voters.

The telephone poll, by Quinnipiac University, was conducted June 18 to 25. Its survey of 359 Florida Democrats and 373 Republicans had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 5 percentage points for each.

Rudy Giuliani Says He Can Compete in Blue States

Rudy Giuliani campaigned Tuesday for a second straight day across New York with a message aimed obviously at Republicans outside his home state: I can battle them for the blues.

The "them" is, of course, the Democrats who have been making much of picking up a red state or two and winning back the White House, perhaps riding there with Giuliani's home-state rival, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Giuliani pledges to take the battle against the Democrats to the blue states.
