Daily Journal Via AP: Poll: N.J. wants Rudy Giuliani for president

New Jersey voters would like former Republican New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and Democratic New York Sen. Hillary Clinton as 2008 presidential candidates.

But they don’t adore Clinton all that much, a new poll released this morning finds.

The Quinnipiac University poll finds New Jersey voters prefer Giuliani over Clinton, and like Arizona Sen. John McCain just as much.

Giuliani leads Clinton 48 percent to 41 percent, while McCain leads Clinton 44 percent to 43 percent, according to the poll.

“It looks like problems with Sen. Hillary Clinton’s new presidential campaign are cropping up close to home,” says Clay F. Richard, Quinnipiac University Polling Institute assistant director.

The Poll is here.

On the Republican side:

– Giuliani leads with 39 percent.

– McCain, 21 percent.

– Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, 11 percent.

– No other Republican tops 5 percent.

Mayor Giuliani continues to lead in the polls in state after state. Notably in this poll is that NO other GOP candidate, including Mitt Romney are in double digits except McCain and Gingrich.

So, why are Brownback, Tancredo et. al. bothering?

Could it be Presidential campaign federal matching funds?

New Jersey voters give Clinton a 53 - 38 percent favorability rating.

Giuliani gets a 63 - 24 percent favorability rating.
