Bloomberg & Rudy!

July 5, 2007

If New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg jumps into the presidential race as an independent, it might not be good news for his predecessor - Rudolph Giuliani, according to a new poll.

“If Mayor Bloomberg runs as an independent, he takes more votes from Giuliani, making the three-way race too close to call,” said Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

Even with Bloomberg not in the race, the Quinnipiac poll results show a tighter race than a previous Quinnipiac poll in April, which had Giuliani leading with 49 percent, versus 40 percent for Clinton, a senator from New York.

A Fairleigh Dickinson University PublicMind poll released in June also showed Clinton and Giuliani garnering the most support among New Jersey voters.

If Giuliani were to become the GOP nominee for president, he might look to New Jersey as a place to pick up electoral votes that have gone to Democrats in recent elections.

New Jersey hasn’t supported a Republican for president since 1988. But the new poll has 61 percent of the state’s voters holding a favorable view of Giuliani, higher than any other presidential contender.
