Politics 2012: Ron Paul strategy keeps things interesting
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- A new Gallup presidential poll sees Sen. Hillary Clinton with a slight, but not statistically significant, lead over the possible Republican candidates.
The New York Democrat came out ahead of both former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Sen. John McCain in head-to-head matchups for the 2008 general election, reported Gallup Monday.
Clinton showed more substantial leads over former Sen. Fred Thompson and former Gov. Mitt Romney.
Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., also has significant leads over Thompson and Romney, but was tied with Giuliani and just three points up on McCain.
The poll was conducted Nov. 11-14 and used a sample of 897 registered voters nationwide.
Clinton has a five-point lead over Giuliani, 49 percent to 44 percent, and a six-point edge over McCain, 50 percent to 44 percent.
Obama's numbers run similar to Clinton's, although he was even with Giuliani and just three points up from McCain, and has a substantial lead over both Thompson and Romney.
