Poll: Rudy still rocking
National presidential preference polls are mostly useless. But unlike other polls, at least they ask a legitimate question, and one voters can answer: For whom will you vote?
According to a new CBS News poll out Monday, Rudy Giuliani retains a significant lead nationally among Republican primary voters in the race to become the party’s presidential nominee.
In all, 38 percent of Republican primary voters favor the former New York City mayor, a slight increase from last month. Senator-turned-actor Fred Thompson is next; he’s favored by 18 percent of Republican primary voters, a seven-point drop from last month.
Actually, it’s actor-turned-senator, but whatever.
If, as now seems likely, we end up with Hillary v. Rudy, keep this in mind.

Just in case you were wondering, no, pollsters haven’t given up on asking stupid questions.
