Poll finds Wisconsin voters give Giuliani, Gore highest marks
MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsin Republicans have a better impression of former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani than they do of hometown political giant Tommy Thompson, a poll released Tuesday showed.
Instead of asking respondents who they support for president in 2008, the University of Wisconsin Survey Center's Badger Poll asked for impressions of three front-runners in each party, as well as Thompson and Al Gore.
Giuliani had the highest favorable rating among Republicans at 64 percent, beating out Thompson at 58 percent. John McCain came in a distant third at 16 percent.
Thompson, governor for 14 years before leaving in 2001 to serve President Bush as Health and Human Services Secretary, is running an underdog campaign for president against better-funded and well-known candidates including Giuliani, McCain and Mitt Romney. Romney came in fourth with a 4 percent favorable impression in the poll.
Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson, who is flirting with a run on the Republican side, was not included in the poll. When the poll was put together in early May, his potential candidacy had not caught on as much as it has now, said Chad Kniss, project director at the survey center.
Speaking of unannounced candidates, Gore pulled the best numbers from Democrats even though he's not in the race. He was viewed favorably by 62 percent of survey respondents, followed by New York Sen. Hillary Clinton with 60 percent. Illinois Sen. Barack Obama came in third with 57 percent followed by John Edwards at 54 percent.
Poll authors said given that the Wisconsin primary is still eight months away, the poll focused on getting people's impressions of the candidates instead of looking for a leader or possible winner.
The random telephone poll of 502 people between June 7 and June 15 had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
Wisconsin's primary is Feb. 19 and the general election next year is on Nov. 4.
