Giuliani's very favorable or somewhat favorable rating of 54% is a decrease from the combined 57.4% in May. His unfavorable rating increased slightly to 29% from 27.4%. Pollster John Zogby: "This has all the elements of a classic New York race," Zogby said. "Rudy's unfavorable rating is very high in New York City (48% favorable; 49% unfavorable), while Hillary's favorability ratings are poor Upstate (42% favorable; 49% unfavorable). "Hillary's favorable/unfavorable numbers are very good in New York City (61% to 31%) while Rudy's favorable/unfavorable numbers are respectable in Upstate (50% to 19%). Once again the Suburbs will be the battleground where Rudy leads 2-1." Among regions, Giuliani leads the First lady among Upstate voters 50.5% to 36.7% and among Suburban voters 63% to 31.1%, while Hillary leads in New York City 54.6% to 37.5%. "But Hillary's lead in the City cannot stay at the same level if she has any hope to win," Zogby said.zogby.com Posted for discussion and edcutaional purposes only.
