Hillary, Giuliani Favoured for 2008 U.S. Showdown
January 30, 2007
(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Democratic New York senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and Republican former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani are the most popular presidential contenders in the United States, according to a poll by Princeton Survey Research Associates released by Newsweek which included nine prospective head-to-head match-ups.
Rodham Clinton holds a three-point edge over Giuliani, a six-point advantage over Arizona senator John McCain, and a 19-point lead over former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.
Democratic Illinois senator Barack Obama leads Giuliani by three points, McCain by six points, and Romney by 26 points. Democratic former North Carolina senator John Edwards holds the upper hand in contests against McCain and Romney, but trails Giuliani by one point.
Yesterday, Romney criticized Rodham Clinton’s foreign policy views, saying, "She can do what she likes—but I take exception to her conclusions. (...) We should look at the interests of America and our friends and our citizens and our soldiers and do what it’s our collective best interests. This president has taken action which he believes is calculated to make America a safer land. We should not make decisions based on an election schedule."
In American elections, candidates require 270 votes in the Electoral College to win the White House. In November 2004, Republican George W. Bush earned a second term after securing 286 electoral votes from 31 states. Democratic nominee John Kerry received 252 electoral votes from 19 states and the District of Columbia.
Bush is ineligible for a third term in office. The next presidential election is scheduled for November 2008.
