First Polls: Bloomberg Hurts Giuliani
Soren Dayton takes a look at early polling data from Pollster.com, comparing a Clinton-Giuliani race to a Clinton-Bloomberg-Giuliani race. Either way, the news right now is bad for the GOP:
1. Even without Bloomberg, Giuliani loses nearly every swing state. Giuliani would win only Missouri and Washington. Note that WV, CO, NV, AZ, PA, MI, and FL are not included in this sample.2. Bloomberg seems to take his votes from both sides, but somewhat more from the GOP. However, in the swing states, the damage seems to be almost 2-1 against the GOP. However, these results are almost all within the margin of error.
I'm personally not big on horse race reporting, and these are way early polls anyway. But at least it gives you some idea where Bloomberg's support might come from.

ran the numbers; all Democratic candidates are presently leading all R candidates in the Gallup poll.
More silly polls...

Here we go with the silly polls again. Gosh, what could the media possibly do to entertain itself during this election cycle. I mean, there are 8 Democrats and 11 Republicans already running - far more than any U.S. election in HISTORY - but that's just not enough. The media must bring MORE candidates into the race. I mean, what exactly does the public expect the media to do? Ask candidates where they stand on the issues? Yuck! That's BORING.
But let's not wait till new candidates actually enter the race. Let's spend thousands of dollars on polls asking people what they think of the potential new candidates. And we could even omit some of the candidates already running. What the heck!
So in this vein I have a few poll questions to add:
1. If the Democratic Primary was held today, who would you vote for? Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Barack Obama, or OPRAH WINFREY?
2. If the Democratic Primary was held today, who would you vote for? Hillary Clinton or BILL CLINTON?
3. If the Republican Primary was held today, who would you vote for? John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, or RONALD REAGAN? (Sure, he's dead, but the others are dead from the neck up so it all evens out. And I'll bet Reagan would win this one. Remember Carnahan vs. Ashcroft in 2000?)
Sure, this is absurd, but is it that much sillier than what the mainstream is doing?
Bloomberg and Guiliani
