Hillary in freefall: Wednesday October 20 12:40 AM ET Giuliani Pulls Away From Clinton In Latest NY Poll NEW YORK (Reuters) - Mayor Rudolph Giuliani has moved 11 points ahead of first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton in their all-but-declared race for the Senate seat from New York opening up in 2000, according to a poll released Tuesday. With more than a year to go before the election and neither presumed candidate having formally announced a campaign, the Zogby New York poll found 51 percent support for Giuliani statewide against 40 percent for Clinton, with 9 percent undecided. The results of the poll conducted Oct. 15-18 showed Republican Giuliani increasing his lead over Clinton by four points, Zogby said. The poll of 700 likely New York state voters had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8 percent. Negative feelings about the first lady apparently was a factor, with her 48.4 unfavorable rating exceeding her 46.3 favorable rating for the first time, Zogby said. And while 22 percent of Clinton voters said they supported her because they were ''against'' Giuliani, 32 percent said they backed the mayor because they opposed Clinton. As has been the pattern, Giuliani enjoyed the support of upstate and suburban voters, while Clinton held a wide lead in New York City and among black and Hispanic voters. Giuliani leads Clinton by more than two-to-one among independent voters and edged Clinton among Jewish voters by three percentage points. Gender appeared not to be a factor, with Clinton at 46 percent and Giuliani 44 percent among women. Giuliani has been steadily increasing his lead over Clinton in Zogby's monthly polls since August, when the two were tied. New York's senior senator, Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan, will not seek reelection in 2000. Clinton said Monday she will make a formal announcement after the first of the year as to whether or not she will run. dailynews.yahoo.com
