Harris Interactive/CNN Poll June, 2006:

Giuliani More Popular Than Democrats in U.S.

Many adults in the United States could support Republican Rudy Giuliani in a presidential election, according to a poll by Harris Interactive released by CNN. 64 per cent of respondents would definitely vote for, or consider voting for, the former New York City mayor in the 2008 ballot.

Republican Arizona senator John McCain also garnered a high level of backing, with 60 per cent. Conversely, 63 per cent of respondents say they would definitely not vote for current Florida governor Jeb Bush.

Three prospective Democratic nominees rank significantly lower in the public’s view. 48 per cent of respondents would not vote for former vice-president Al Gore in a presidential election, and 47 per cent of respondents feel the same way about both New York senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and Massachusetts senator John Kerry
