Giuliani plummets in latest NBC/WSJ poll

[sniffa]

After a month’s worth of mostly negative media reports, his campaign’s decision to decrease his activity in the early nominating states and the rise of GOP rival Mike Huckabee, Rudy Giuliani’s national standing has plummeted in the most recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, providing more evidence that the contest for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination is wide open.

According to the poll, Giuliani — who has been the clear leader in all previous NBC/Journal surveys this year — is now tied nationally with Mitt Romney at 20 percent among Republican primary voters. They are followed by Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor, at 17 percent; Arizona Sen. John McCain at 14 percent; and former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson at 11 percent.

For Giuliani, it's a decline of 13 points since last month, when the former New York City mayor led the GOP field at 33 percent — followed by McCain at 16 percent, Thompson at 15 percent, Romney at 11 percent and Huckabee at 8 percent.

1. Put A Fork In Him...He's Done

He coughed up a humongous lead and he (ain't) getting it back...

It will the Mittster or McCain... My money is on The Mittster...

Obama or Clinton will beat him 52-48 to 54-46...

4. i don't think it will be Mitt

my money remains on my pick from about 5-6 months ago: Huckabee.

though McCain is now in view thanks to the injection of Joementum.

10. Joementum Might Carry McCainTo A Win In New Hampshire

The GOPU establishment will destroy The Huckster... They already reduced his tremendous lead in Iowa to nothing:

15. Yep. Huckabee is a perfect fit for the hoiler-than-thou party.

6. I think I predicted Myth Romney

before you. Just sayin' ;)

[frogcycle]

12. Edwards would win bigger

[Forkboy]

24. Hey, easy with the "fork" stuff.

There are some things even *I* won't do. :)

2. all i can say is-

[sniffa]

8. now that's not fair for someone who spent more time at Ground Zero

than cheating on his wife.

[joeybee12]

11. Reverse that sentence slightly

and I'll agree with you!

[joeybee12]

3. But...but...but...9-11!!!!!!!

:toast:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. I Said It A Month Ago

He's too dirtied up to win...

[joeybee12]

7. Then say it again!

I'd love to hear that over and over!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. His Financial Dealings...His Cheating...His Corrupt Pals...

At least when Clinton cheated he publicly showed remorse ,(people eat that " I have sinned " stuff up) and he didn't flaunt his liassons...

[joeybee12]

20. And he's a New Yorker!

I'm somewhat serious about that...it's a whole different attitude and while many New Yorkers are used to his manner, it doesn't play well in other parts of the country.

9. What a bunch of loooooooosers. n/t

[Mike03]

13. This makes me nervous

They have nothing. Their candidates are a complete joke.

My fear is that there is something coming that is not apparent yet.

I mean, they can't possibly run these candidates because they are all pathetic beyond belief. Senility, retardation, criminality, fantastic belief systems, pathological delusion. None of them are electable.

16. They Will Coalesce Around The Mittster

19. Absolutely Mitt will be the repuke candidate. Rudy is toast ,

Mccain is too old, Huckleberry has too much baggage. That leaves Mitt.

[AlCzervik]

17. they ran Bob Dole in 96 and i think the rw hayed Clinton more than anybody

i think many in the gop have just given up.

[Cha]

18. But, the ghoul said

he didn't ask for protection for his mistress!! Where's the compassion?

[Stop Cornyn]

21. It's hilarious that Frederic of Hollywood is polling at 11% nationally but 2% in New Hampshire --

they better the voters get to know Hollywood, the less they like him.

[goodgd_yall]

22. Not surprised

I found it hard to believe Republicans would vote for someone who did not flash his religion around and was not rabidly anti-gay or anti-abortion. For a brief moment, while he was leading I thought Republicans were having a change of heart.

23. "Rudolph, you were not so so bright, you're heading down the slide tonight".......

"and how the brain-dead dumped him, as they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the horny mayor, you got sunk by wifey three".
