CLINTON, GUILIANI HOLD STRONG LEADS IN LATEST QUINNIPIAC POLL

The latest Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll was released Wednesday, and the numbers seem to be holding steady, with U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton holding a nearly three-to-one lead over other Democratic contenders and former New York City mayor Rudy Guiliani with a wide lead among current and possible Republican candidates.

Among the Democrats, Clinton is still the clear favourite in the Sunshine State, with 38 percent of the respondents saying they would vote for her if the primary were being held today. The only other candidate in double digits were former U.S. Senator and 2004 vice presidential nominee John Edwards and current Senator Barak Obama with 13 percent each. Eighteen percent indicated they were undecided.

On the GOP side, Guiliani had 38 percent saying they would vote for him if the primary were held today. In second place is U.S. Senator John McCain (18 percent), followed by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich with 14 percent. Undecides made up 16 percent.
