Don't underestimate the anger with which many women view Giuliani because of the messy way he conducted his divorce. I think he'd have a very hard time winning an election again.

FYI, the same Marist poll had 51% of NY state registered voters saying they would definitely re-elect Hillary Clinton to the Senate and 56% rate the job she is doing as senator as excellent or good. 43% of voters rate the president's job performance positively.

I have to disagree with William and Jeremy. My wife and I moved to NYC in July of 1996 and saw a constant improvement in NYC. He was hated, true, but the ones whom hated him are the same as those who are afflicted with BDS.

Yeah, this poll comes as a shock to me since Giuliani's popularity has been dropping in New York in most polls I've seen, mostly the Kerik fallout. My read is that New Yorkers want to hold on to Hillary and let Guiliani gut it out elsewhere.

what`s so great about Rudy,he was a lousy Mayor,and my only good memory of him was walking
downtown after 911.if he saved the city by shooting down the airplanes then he would deserve to run. New York ain`t like the holly roller midwest who voted for the asshole,lying bastard BUSH.And anyway the guy running his campaign is a Queen

True 'nuff. I kinda want Al Sharpton to run again, presuming he's not in prison.

Or, it could mean they want Giuliani to run. They might not want him to WIN, but they want him to run.
