Joe Scott: The Body Politic

Poll: Rudy Losing N.Y.

01 June 2007 |permalink | email article

Just how fearsome would Rudy Giuliani, the self-styled 9/11 hero, be in a general election against either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama in New York?

In a just released Siena College poll, courtesy of electioncentral.tpmcafe.com, “America’s Mayor” strikes out .in a survey of Empire State voters.

Clinton wins 52% to 39% for Giuliani, and Obama beats him by 10%. Other top Republican candidates fare even worse.

Clinton beats John McCain by 18% and likely candidate Fred Thompson by 23%; Obama’s leads McCain by 17%.

Giuliani may survive the New York GOP primary on Feb. 5 but winning the state against the Democratic nominee may be far more difficult.

Mission Statement

Aristotle's Politics (Book 1, Chapter 1) is clear that "man is a political animal in a greater measure than any bee or any gregarious animal. For nature does nothing without purpose, and man alone of the animals possesses speech."

The blogosphere watches as a divided America reexamines its soul. After 35 years as a journalist I have broken a long silence to comment again on critical moral and political issues that impact the U.S. body politic. Reflections on JoeScott3.com, an independent, non-profit blog, are posted frequently, not daily. I hope global readers, accepting Aristotle's definition of a political animal, will find this quick scan both provocative and mindful.
