Hmm. VERY Interersting. Quinnipiac poll: In PA, GORE runs best against Giuliani [View All]

Former Vice President Al Gore, who has not declared his candidacy for the 2008 presidential nomination, runs better in Pennsylvania than any Democrat against the Republican front runner, former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani: Gore has 45 percent to Giuliani's 44 percent, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

Giuliani leads New York Sen. Hillary Clinton 47 - 43 percent and tops Illinois Sen. Barack Obama 45 - 40 percent, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. In other possible presidential matchups in Pennsylvania:

* Clinton edges Arizona Sen. John McCain 45 - 43 percent;
* Clinton tops former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson 50 - 36 percent;
* McCain gets 42 percent to 41 percent for Obama;
* McCain ties Gore 44 - 44 percent;
* Obama beats Thompson 47 - 32 percent;
* Gore beats Thompson 50 - 35 percent.

Sen. Clinton gets 33 percent of Democratic primary voters, with 16 percent for Gore, 13 percent for Obama and 11 percent for Edwards. This compares to a March 29 poll showing 36 percent for Clinton, 17 percent for Obama, 13 percent for Gore, and 9 percent for Edwards. "While it's still Sen. Clinton and Mayor Giuliani at the top of the presidential race, Vice President Gore is getting stronger and Sen. McCain weaker in the latest Pennsylvania poll," said Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

"Sen. Clinton continues to get about a third of all Democratic voters in a potential primary, but Gore is now in second with 16 percent while Sen. Barack Obama has dropped to third."
