POLL: Fox National Survey
Eric Dienstfrey | October 12, 2007
A new FOX News/Opinion Dynamics national survey (story, results) of 900 registered voters (conducted 10/9 through 10/10) finds:
- 35% approve of the job George W. Bush is doing as president; 56% disapprove.
- Among 337 registered Democrats, Sen. Hillary Clinton leads Sen. Barack Obama (50% to 18%) in a national primary; former Sen. John Edwards trails at 11%. With former V.P. Al Gore included, Clinton leads Obama (44% to 17%) with Gore at 10% Edwards at 9%.
- Among 316 registered Republicans, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani leads former Sen. Fred Thompson (29% to 16%) in national primary; former Sen. John McCain trails at 12%, former Gov. Mitt Romney at 11%, and former Gov. Mike Huckabee at 5%.
- All other candidates receive less than five percent each.
Comments
Given Clinton's national numbers, if she wins Iowa it is over. The Republican national numbers do not match the Iowa story, and to some extent the New Hampshire story. Romney's numbers nationally are lousy but they are strong in Iowa and New Hampshire. If Romney wins Iowa as expected, one can expect the national numbers to change overnight. If Thompson and McCain perform poorly in Iowa and Hew Hampshire, they could drop to single digits nationally. That would leave Romney and Giuliani as the only two standing after New Hampshire.
