So this, combined with the previous individual state polling in Pennsylvania give a decent idea of what (potential) primary voters in a slightly right-leaning state (Florida), an evenly divided state (Pennsylvania), and a left-leaning state (Washington) are thinking. And, without much surprise, these more moderate voters all favor Giuliani. Of course, the people who may actually show up to the polls are perhaps slightly more conservative.
