As expected --- completely.
I see a Clinton/Giuliani race....but Rudy has too much baggage....married 3 times; carried on an affair with his current wife while still married to #2, moved his mistress in to Gracie Mansion......I don't think he stands a chance...
I will vote for Clinton - but I wouldn't mind having Rudy--I think he could do a good job - not as good as Clinton though.
And, no, I'm not fickle....I am the bane of the 2-party system....a 100% independent voter.

When looking at polls this far out I look at trends, not individual polls. Giuliani has had nothing but an upward trend since November. Obama and Clinton are trading support back and forth.
I am continually amazed at the amount of support Giuliani has gotten amongst conservatives. The playbook of the last to elections has been social conservatism, even trumping political and economic. I think when news speads about Giuliani's judicial appointments as mayor of NYC, that number will tick down a little, but not much. Giuliani remains, in my opinion, the most likely candidate from the GOP side to beat anyone on the Democratic side and if he can keep on growing his lead, he will be able to avoid a potentially nasty primary campaign. If the race remains close, he will just get more exposure to his liberal social views, liberal judicial appointments, and lack of experience on a state or national level. He needs to pull away and pull away quickly, because if he does get that kind of exposure, he opens the race up to a more conservative third party candidate.
On the Democratic side, Obama and Clinton are reaping the rewards of their scuffle over David Geffen. In previous polls, the race between presumptive nominees of both parties has been closer than it is now, largely because people don't like bickering. Giuliani is extending his lead on both of them without saying anything. This weekend in Selma will tell us a lot about what the next few months will look like. Two issues will be in the forefront there, the African American vote in the South and how Bill Clinton will affect Hillary's campaign.
I don't know why they dropped Gore from the polls and why they chose this week to do it. He's said right along that he wouldn't be running and nothing this week changed that. If he decides to run, it won't be until after Obama and Clinton have attacked each other a little more. It seems reasonable that a large part of Gore's supporters, those that value experience as opposed to those embracing him on the left over the global warming issue, would go to Clinton's camp. As of now, no candidate has highlighted global warming as a key campaign issue, though Obama has cited renewable energy as an issue and they are closely linked.
It's still very early.

Since the poll debauckle of the Gore/Bush election and everyone jumped the band wagon before the count was over and they decided to announce Gore because the polls were ahead,I dont think anyone pays attention to polls anymore.Also its still too soon to worry about who is ahead in the race.I am a republican but if it came down to it,I would vote for Obama over Hillary anyday,he has the guts to stand up to Broom Hillary.She doesnt scare or intimidate him,as of yet anyway.

Sad. Too many people pay attention to only the democrats and republicans rather than the other parties (green, libertarian, reform, constitution, etc.) Of course, that's the way the Dems and Reps want it....

Right now it is looking like Clinton/Obama vs Guliani/McCain. Democrats win by 12%.
Personally, I am really enjoying this. They are gunna all be out of steam by the time the time comes.

I am not paying attention to the polls. It is way too early to worry about that stuff.

Rudy will win the nomination and the general election.

I never pay attention to polls unless I use them to get someone riled up.
