(Angus Reid Global Monitor) – Republican Rudy Giuliani is the top United States presidential contender in Missouri, according to a poll by Rasmussen Reports. At least 44 per cent of respondents in the Show Me State would vote for the former New York City mayor in head-to-head contests against two prospective Democratic rivals.
Giuliani leads New York senator Hillary Rodham Clinton by three points, and Illinois senator Barack Obama by five points. In other contests, actor and former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson is tied with Rodham Clinton, and holds a nine-point advantage over Obama.
In 2004, Republican George W. Bush carried Missouri’s 11 electoral votes, with 53 per cent of all cast ballots. Aside from the 1956 presidential election, the Show Me State has picked the eventual winner in every contest since 1900.
Bush is ineligible for a third term in office. The next United States presidential election is scheduled for November 2008.
