For 2008, Hillary Leads Giuliani in New York

(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Voters in the Empire State prefer Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton over Republican Rudy Giuliani, according to a poll by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. 53 per cent of respondents in New York would vote for their current U.S. senator in the 2008 United States presidential election, while 32 per cent would back the former New York City mayor.

Rodham Clinton—a former first lady—has served in the U.S. Senate since 2001. In November 2006, she earned a new six-year term in the upper house, defeating former Yonkers mayor John Spencer with 67 per cent of all cast ballots.

Giuliani served as New York City’s head of government from 1994 to 2001. He garnered national and international attention in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In 2000, Giuliani withdrew from a campaign to the U.S. Senate—where he would have faced Rodham Clinton—after being diagnosed with prostate cancer.

In 2004, Democratic nominee John Kerry carried New York’s 31 electoral votes, with 58 per cent of the vote. No Republican has won the Empire State since Ronald Reagan in 1984.

U.S. president George W. Bush is ineligible for a third term in office. The next United States presidential election is scheduled for November 2008.

I think hilary clinton would be a good president because she has a lot of experience in politics and the people. She would be a very good leader to look up to. As you can see Hilary is in the polls and so far everything is good. But even though she has everything going for her i personally would vote for Giuliani.
