Giuliani, Clinton favorites among likely N.H. voters
MANCHESTER, N.H. A new poll shows that New Hampshire residents likely to vote in the Republican presidential primary a year from now think more highly of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani than any of his rivals.
Giuliani's net favorability rating _ the proportion of people viewing him favorably minus the proportion viewing him unfavorably _ was 56 percent, well ahead of Senator John McCain at 32 percent, and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney at 26 percent. That's according to the University of New Hampshire poll for WMUR-TV in Manchester.
Former Senator John Edwards and Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama had net favorability ratings ranging from 61 percent to 55 percent, too close to be statistically significant.
When asked whom they would vote for, 35 percent of likely Democratic voters picked Clinton, 21 percent Obama and 15 percent Edwards. Eight percent chose former Vice President Al Gore, who is not running.
Independents may vote in either primary, and 68 percent of them indicated they planned to vote in the Democratic primary compared to 32 percent leaning toward the G-O-P contest.
