Comments on: What does state general election polling tell us? http://www.eyeon08.com/2007/08/23/what-does-state-general-election-polling-tell-us/ Covering the 2008 election Wed, 08 Oct 2008 02:46:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: roger g http://www.eyeon08.com/2007/08/23/what-does-state-general-election-polling-tell-us/#comment-35515 Sun, 09 Sep 2007 07:41:18 +0000 http://www.eyeon08.com/2007/08/23/what-does-state-general-election-polling-tell-us/#comment-35515 The bar graph shows that half of conservatives know who Thompson is. Due to that, it's hard to say with much confidence what Thompson's chances are against Hillary. On the one hand, Thompson could be the perfect rival for Hillary, since it could really mobilize the base against Hillary and in favor of a "true conservative." On the other hand, a lot of the independents I talk to on my <a href="http://www.politicsforumpoliticalworld.com/" rel="nofollow">political forum</a> say they are looking for a uniter, and Guiliani has a much better chance of picking up voters like that than Thompson does. So that's probably how a lot of "purple" voters are leaning as well. We'll have to wait and see how conservatives reach to Thompson throughout September.

Quinnipiac put out this too:

pennsylvania:
clinton vs.
giuliani -2
mccain -6
thompson -14

Pennsylvania (which we lost in ‘00 and 04) MAY be winnable this year. Although I don’t trust Romney’s ability to climb that hurdle. But a PA win would essentially offset a Florida loss in 08.
