Rasmussen: Clinton Gains on Giuliani, Thompson; Now Leads Both by Six

After a recent tightening of her match-ups with two leading GOP contenders, Democratic Senator Hillary Clinton now enjoys a modest advantage over each. Clinton leads former Mayor Rudy Giuliani 48% to 42% in the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Election 2008 (see crosstabs).

The former First Lady leads former Senator Fred Thompson 48% to 42% as well.

Senator Clinton trailed Giuliani by a couple points in the previous Rasmussen Reports election poll of this race. However, she enjoyed modest leads, similar to the current results in our October 9 election poll (see history).

The advantage in the Giuliani-Clinton match-up has snapped back and forth like a ping-pong ball all year long. Only once since November has either candidate reached 50% support: Giuliani, in February, when he led 52% to 43%. Neither candidate has fallen below 40% support. On several occasions—most recently in June and July, for three polls in a row—Clinton and Giuliani have been just a point apart, or tied.
