A new poll shows that a matchup between Clinton and Giuliani is too close to call in Nevada.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (CNN) — A poll released Thursday has the Democratic and Republican presidential front-runners neck-and-neck in Nevada, suggesting that the state could once again serve as a swing state in the upcoming 2008 presidential election.

According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll, a general election contest pitting Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-New York, and Rudy Giuliani, the former Republican mayor of New York, would be too close to call in the Silver State.

The poll showed Giuliani receiving 47 percent of votes in the hypothetical general-election matchup with Clinton, who scored 46 points — a statistical dead heat given the poll's 2.5 percent margin of error.

The survey of 1,675 registered Nevada voters, conducted on November 9-13, also showed the senator from New York faring better if former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney won the GOP nomination, with Clinton taking 51 percent to Romney's 42 percent in such a matchup.

The funniest part about this article is that they show the current 2nd place Dem (Clinton) losing/tying the bottom of the heap Rep (Guiliani). Guiliani has fewer delegates than Ron Paul! I guess the real implication is that she can't beat any of the Republicans and certainly not Romney or McCain. Since I am a Dem, I just hope the collective sense is enough to evenutually come up with an Obama nomination and an Edwards VP slot so that self-centered, fake Hillary can just go away.

I don't understand why Joe's does not have higher ratings but people like Edward or Obama do. It seems Joe has work in almost every important committee and he has some genuine experience with country's affairs which none of the candidates do, even Hillary (my fav ). In none of the political debate, in my opinion, Joe has taken any stand which is “controversial" compare to the two top contenders.

Although, I am sure Hillary is going to win the primary, I wish Joe gets to work to as the Vice-President (which I know he has decline and Hillary have not proposed publically). I wish these two guys all the best. Go America ;-) !

Don't people know how to spell "Giuliani"? It's kinda annoying.

Dude has too many wrinkes. What's with always cutting off his head? Does the media actually think the public won't notice him being bald?

C'mon media commies, we already know he is bald and that there hasn't been a bald president since TV.

Clinton will be the first bald president if she is elected.

r sisk,

dont you think that the reason Dems are growing in power in states such as NV is that people are invading from high real estate places such as CA and then voting in the Dems?

Rudy Giuliana, the man from the party of family values who:

Has been married three times.

Committed adultery twice (between each marriage).

And he married his cousin!

I'm glad I'm in the party of heathens!

This is great news given that Nevada has a ton of rural/redneck/ignorant voters that lean GOP. I live in Nevada and let me tell you, there are lots of mullets and missing teeth. The annoying part of this demographic is most survive on programs instigated by DEMOCRATS. However, their fearful the commies will take over or they'll lose their guns.

We are hopeful. The more people that move to our state, the more Democratic we become. Yahoo.

I WAS WONDERING THE SAME THING. HOW MUCH DID OBAMA BEAT RUDY/MITT BY? …IF CNN only polled for Clinton vrs Rudy in Nevada – it is abundantly clear that CNN is more interesting in crowning Clinton the nominee rather than actually testing the pulse of all the candidates. … TYPICAL !!!

Dave, Cheverly, MD   November 15th, 2007 4:09 pm ET

How much did Obama beat Rudy and Mitt by? More then Hillary did, otherwise you would have been glad to print those results also. There is little point in polling between two candidates (Hillary and Rudy) that are not going to be in the General Election.
