Q-Poll NY: Hillary with wide lead over Rudy and Bloomberg...Rudy and Obama tied

[SaveElmer]

Poll finds Bloomberg takes about equally from both Hillary and Rudy...

In a hypothetical all-New York presidential race, Sen. Hillary Clinton wins with 43 percent of voters statewide, followed by former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani with 29 percent and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg with 16 percent, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

In a head-to-head matchup, Sen. Clinton tops Giuliani 52 - 37 percent, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. In other possible matchups:

* Giuliani ties Illinois Sen. Barack Obama 43 - 43 percent;
* Former Vice President Al Gore beats Giuliani 48 - 42 percent;
* Clinton tops Arizona Sen. John McCain 56 - 32 percent;
* Clinton beats former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson 56 - 29 percent;
* Obama beats McCain 48 - 33 percent;
* Gore tops McCain 50 - 36 percent;
* Obama beats Thompson 51 - 27 percent;
* Gore tops Thompson 54 - 30 percent.

Giuliani gets 46 percent of Republicans, followed by Thompson with 14 percent, up from 3 percent April 5. McCain has 8 percent, down from 13 percent April 5.

2. Yep...and not a small consideration...

No presidential candidate has won the presidency and lost their home state since WIlson (Unless you include Gore in 2000)

3. Any numbers on candidates who have won their home state

and lost the presidential election?

4. Well just off the top...

Mondale, Dukakis, Carter, Stevenson (I think), Goldwater (I think), Nixon...I'm sure there are others...

5. "If she can make it there, she'll make it anywhere...it's up to you, New York, New York."

Seriously.

7. Bloomy hurts Hillary and Guiliani about the same.

I think he would ultimately do better than 16% in NY.
