FOX News Poll: Republicans Losing Ground in ’08 Race
Thursday, July 19, 2007

By Dana Blanton
NEW YORK — Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton now holds a slight lead over top Republican Rudy Giuliani for the first time in a hypothetical 2008 presidential matchup. In fact, to varying degrees, Clinton and fellow Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama beat every Republican candidate they are tested against in the latest FOX News Poll.

Opinion Dynamics Corp. conducted the national telephone poll of 900 registered voters for FOX News from July 17 to July 18. The poll has a 3-point error margin.

President Bush can do little to give Republicans a boost as his own ratings remain dismal. Today, 32 percent of Americans say they approve of the job Bush is doing and 61 percent disapprove. His current approval is just 1 point higher than his record-low 31 percent approval received last month (June 26-27).

Another hurdle for Republican hopefuls is the perception that Democrats in Congress (38 percent) are more optimistic than Republicans in Congress (31 percent) about the direction of the country. In seven different head-to-head matchups, the poll shows the Democratic candidate tops the Republican. While this had been the case when Clinton was tested against Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson, this is the first time she has the advantage over Giuliani.

2. Although I am not supporting Hillary in the primaries, this is fantastic news.

I really think people are sick of this entire administration and the entire GOP is going to suffer for Bush's unpopularity.

3. oh that bush is a mover and shaker--up 1%.

....President Bush can do little to give Republicans a boost as his own ratings remain dismal. Today, 32 percent of Americans say they approve of the job Bush is doing and 61 percent disapprove. His current approval is just 1 point higher than his record-low 31 percent approval received last month (June 26-27).

5. Give scrub 100 years -- long enough for people to remember his presidency like they do hardings

very few Americans probably even know he was ever president, much less when and what went on...and then bush may clear the 35% mark.

4. Gee...31% approval in a faux poll

Damn...scrub must be nearing single digits as opinion dynamics (a faux shill poll) polls heavily in favor of republikkans.
