New Jersey: Clinton Increases Primary Lead To 31 points, fairs best against GOP Frontrunner

[wyldwolf]

In a Democratic primary matchup, Clinton has opened up at 46 - 15 percent lead over Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, with 11 percent for former Vice President Al Gore and 7 percent for former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards.

Clinton and former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, the Republican front-runner, are locked in a tight 2008 presidential matchup in New Jersey, with 45 percent for Mayor Giuliani and 44 percent for Sen. Clinton, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. This compares to a 47 - 44 percent Giuliani lead July 5.

Other findings:

* Clinton tops McCain 46 - 41 percent, Thompson 48 - 36 percent and Romney 52 - 33 percent;
* Giuliani beats Obama 49 - 40 percent and Edwards 50 - 39 percent;
* Obama tops McCain 44 - 41 percent, Thompson 49 - 34 percent and Romney 51 - 31 percent;
* Edwards beats McCain 44 - 40 percent, Thompson 48 - 34 percent and Romney 51 - 30 percent.

"Just as important for Sen. Clinton, her positives among all voters are slowly inching up while her negatives are inching down, a shift that could prove important in the general election,"

2. This morning's news is picking Guilianni for the GOP

Thompson is fading fast. He doesn't look all that healthy anyway. Too much stress.

Nevertheless, Hillary hasn't even broken a sweat opposing Guilianni and it's a dead heat in the matchup.
