Hillary, Giuliani Top Gallup Poll
Two New Yorkers came out on top of a new poll in which participants were asked to name their top candidates for U.S. president in 2008. According to the Washington Times, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a Republican, led all others in the open-ended Gallup poll. Clinton was the leading choice among Democrats, easily out-distancing three former men who populated the past two presidential tickets. Among Republicans, Giuliani edged Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and several others. Nearly half of those responding told Gallup they have not really thought about the question. More than one-third of Democrats - 36 percent - named Clinton as their first choice with former Vice President Al Gore at 16 percent, former Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., at 12 percent, and Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., at 11 percent. Gore ran unsuccessfully for president in 2000, while Kerry-Edwards formed the losing 2004 ticket for the Democrats.

No other potential candidates received as much as 10 percent in the poll with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., getting 8 percent and Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., tied at 6 percent apiece.
