Poll: Hillary Slips, Pirro Gains

A new statewide poll says Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's lead over potential Republican opponent Jeanine Pirro has slipped but still remains strong.

The WNBC-Marist College poll had Clinton leading the Westchester County district attorney 50 percent to 28 percent. Clinton led Pirro 64 percent to 28 percent in an April poll from Marist College's Institute for Public Opinion in Poughkeepsie.

The new poll was conducted Tuesday, one day after Pirro announced she would seek the GOP Senate nomination.

A majority of New York voters, 56 percent of them, said they didn't know enough about Pirro to form an opinion about her.

Only 35 percent of voters said they wanted Clinton to run for president in 2008.

Marist's telephone poll of 400 registered voters has a sampling error margin of plus or minus five percentage points.
