Zogby: Rudy Giuliani, Hillary Clinton Hold Big Leads
Former New York City mayor Republican Rudy Giuliani and Sen. Hillary Clinton, both of New York state, continue to enjoy significant leads over rivals in national tests of likely primary voters, a new Zogby International telephone poll shows. Meanwhile, Giuliani’s edge among Republicans is now more than double that of his nearest rival, Sen. John McCain of Arizona.
Clinton holds a double–digit 32 percent to 22 percent lead over Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, with former senator John Edwards a distant third in a national test of Democratic likely voters.
The survey was the first national poll to be fielded following Friday’s announcement by Edwards that he would continue his campaign despite a new cancer diagnosis facing his wife, Elizabeth. Twenty–four percent of Democrats said they were as yet undecided.

In an early January Zogby telephone survey, the race was much closer – Giuliani led 21 percent to 17 percent. McCain hit his high water mark in another telephone survey just over a month ago but still trailed Giuliani, 29 percent to 20 percent. In this latest survey, 28 percent of Republicans said they are unsure whom they would support for the presidential nomination.
In the Democratic Party race, Obama is nearly even with Clinton among men (Clinton leads 28 percent to 26 percent, with Edwards at 11 percent), but Clinton remains well ahead among Democratic women (she leads with 35 percent, compared to 19 percent for Obama and 15 percent for Edwards). Among Democratic men, 21 percent are undecided, while 26 percent of Democratic women said the same.
