Rasmussen: Goopers still wiping the floor with Hillary

Rasmussen Poll:

In a match-up between the early 2008 frontrunners, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) leads New York Senator Hillary Clinton (D) 52% to 43%. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds Giuliani’s lead growing in recent months. His current nine-point advantage is up from a six point lead in January and a four-point lead in December...

Clinton is viewed favorably by 50% and unfavorably by 48%. The last four times that Rasmussen Reports has polled on a Giuliani-Clinton race, Clinton’s support has remained unchanged at 43%.

While both candidates draw reasonable levels of support from within their own party, Giuliani has an enormous 64% to 27% advantage over Clinton among unaffiliated voters...

However, Edwards and Obama tend to do better in match-ups against Republican prospects. In the latest survey, while Clinton trails Giuliani by nine percentage points, Edwards trails only by two points, 46% to 44%. An earlier survey found Obama trailing Giuliani by six points...

McCain now leads Clinton by five percentage points, 47% to 42%. That is similar to the lead he enjoyed in December. Our January poll found McCain and Clinton tied.

Can someone please call Camp Clinton and tell them to occasionally read the polls, before they drive us all over a cliff?

Frankly, I don't know what it is about Hillary, but there's just something about her I just can't trust. I suppose it's that vote for the war she posted a few years ago, but can she really win the major election with that kind of disparity amongst unaffiliated voters? parties will vote for who they will, and there's too many candidates amongst the Dem's party to know what's really going to happen.

Not boosting Hillary, but

I take Rasmussen with a grain of salt. They skew right consistently. I'm not sure how that would affect this type of poll, other than showing all Dems weaker than they really are.
