New Poll: Rudy/McCain Now Tied In New York
Arizona Sen. John McCain is tied 30 - 30 percent with former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani among New York State likely Republican presidential primary voters, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney gets 9 percent, with 8 percent each for former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
Sen. Hillary Clinton has 51 percent of likely Democratic primary voters, with 25 percent for Illinois Sen. Barack Obama and 11 percent for former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards.
Tied is better than being dominated in your home state where you are something of a political icon, but still. Rudy should own New York, not be battling for it with McCain.
Of course, a strong finish in Florida could do a lot to steal McCain’s thunder in other states.
