New Ohio Poll: Head-to-Head Matchups

A new poll from Survey USA shows former mayor Rudy Giuliani (R-NY) virtually tied against either Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) or former senator John Edwards (D-NC) at 48%-47% in each case, but well ahead of Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) at 52%-39%. In other matchups, Clinton is virtually tied with former senator Fred Thompson (R-VA) at 48%-47% but ten points ahead of former governor Mitt Romney (R-MA), Edwards is nine points ahead of Thompson and twenty points ahead of Romney, and Obama trails Thompson and Romney each by ten points.

If you average the results for Democrats, Edwards is overall the strongest against the GOP field. It is interesting, however, that he and Clinton poll the same against Giuliani.
