She has surpassed Rudy by 5 points, when two weeks ago he was 5 points ahead. The question is do you think this is due to Sen. Clinton's growing popularity, the Republicans losing ground due to their own actions, or a combination of the two?

In the Democratic race, Clinton has a 14-point lead (39-25 percent) over Illinois Sen. Barack Obama. They’re followed by former North Carolina Sen. Edwards at 15 percent; no other Democratic presidential candidate registers at more than 4 percent in the poll. In April, Clinton had just a five-point lead (36-31 percent) over Obama, and Edwards was at 20 percent.
“Hillary’s lead has certainly strengthened,” Campbell adds. “As of right now, people seem to think she is the direction they want to go in.”
The top two Democrats, though, seem to have upper hand in potential match-ups against the top two Republicans. According to the poll, Clinton leads Giuliani, 48-43 percent (a reversal since March, when Giuliani led Clinton by five points).
And Obama tops Thompson, 50-31 percent.

It's actually 10 points. She was behind Giuliani by 5, and then gained 5 more. 10 points is well outside the margin of error.

Personally, I couldn't care less how the polls fluctuate in a week's time comparing two candidates when the primaries are a good 6-8 months away yet (and the election is almost a good year and a half away) and when they aren't overwhelming favorites for their respective nominations. There's just too much that's going to happen. If there was such a swing in summer 2008, then yeah that's big news, but in summer 2007 there'd need to be a bigger story (like one of them urinating on an opponent during a debate) for me to really stand up and take notice.
As for Bush's numbers, that can be easily explained. He lost support amongst Republicans who don't like his supporting the immigration bill. Who do you think make up his support? Republicans mostly. Who do you think are the most fed up with this bill. Again, Republicans. That Congress is receiving abysmal support themselves seems to be for the same reason.

in case you look into Giuliani's previous, he isn't any clean slate both. have a glance at HIS astounding marriage scandal. Giuliani's practically a democrat (similar to Schwarzenegger) by the present "stolen by the conservatives" Republican celebration, meaning he probably can't win the nomination. Makes it unlikely for McCain too. both McCain and Giuliani might want to have an extra ordinary time getting the Democratic nomination. Gore will probably get the Dem nomination, no longer Hillary; and the Republicans will probably nominate some nut like Frist or Santorum. i might want to guess they nominate delay in the journey that they nevertheless had the prospect. All this leads to a Dem victory.

Yeah that would not be hard. Rudy has nothing going for him that national republicans wish to see in office. And we already know the foolish nature of democrats who have already forgotten all of the stink that the Clintons put out. When a real contest starts all of this will be brought back to the surface and Hilary will sink like a stone.

In the long run Rudy won't make it, as far as Hillary goes, Edwards, Obama and Richardson are more popular with the people. Do not put too much faith in those polls

No, it is because the poll was taken by The Extreme Left Liberals with formulated questions.

I think you answered your own question....polls go back and forth a lot depending upon who is being polled. If a trend starts to develop it is one thing, but one poll is basically useless.

Hilary will never be elected President.
Just the married men alone won't vote for her as they wouldn't want a ***** as president
