Senator Hillary Clinton and former Mayor Rudy Giuliani remain virtually tied in a hypothetical Election 2008 match-up. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows Clinton with 46% of the vote and Giuliani with 45%.

The two New Yorkers—who recently exchanged barbs over General Petraeus's report to Congress on the Iraq war—have been in a pitched battle for much of the year. While Giuliani led by three percentage points a couple of weeks ago, the two candidates have been just a point or less apart in five of eight polls since April.

The new survey also shows Clinton leading former Senator Fred Thompson 48% to 43%. That's similar to an August 28 poll, taken about a week before Thompson declared his candidacy.

Hillary has eeked out a lead over Rudy on Ras. That's the 3rd poll this month showing her beating Rudy in national heats.

5. hmmm

The benchmark is LBJ's 62%-38% drubbing of Goldwater or Nixon's 61%-39% drubbing of McGovern...Nixon's was more impressive since he carried forty nine states...
