The polls were conducted last month among a group of likely voters in 2008 election. This is a huge turn around for the polls because at the end of January McCain led by 4 points--meaning Giuliani has had an astounding 18 point swing in the last 4 weeks.

On a bit of the lighter side of politics, pollers also asked who they'd choose as a boss, who would be a better teammate on The Apprentice, and who would do better in speed dating:

Giuliani took first in the best boss, and speed dating (edging out Barack Obama in the dating category by 4 points); he came in 2nd on The Apprentice vote, just behind Hillary Clinton.


This seems to echo the results of Rasmussen Reports' findings (in the last 3 major elections, Rasmussen has correctly predicted the winners and a very close proximity to the actual numbers about 95% of the time).

In the Rasmussen Reports' poll, Giuliani is seen as favorable by 70% of all likely voters, compared to 54% for McCain, 52% for Hillary Clinton, and 50% for Barack Obama.

The results for unfavorable are as follows: Giuliani- 27%, McCain- 38%, Clinton 47%, and Obama 34%. It seems that Clinton is the most divisive of all the candidates, garnering the staunch disapproval and the support of roughly 50% on each side.

In a mock election between the GOP front-runner and Democratic leader, Hillary Clinton, Giuliani received 52% of the vote versus 43% for Clinton.

Giuliani's biggest show political potency is his ability to grab independent voters: he got 64% of them compared to Hillary in the poll.

It seems this is the year of the moderate, with low disapproval rates and high approval rates of the three most moderate candidates: Giuliani, McCain and Obama..what do you guys think?
