USA TODAY/Gallup Poll: Significant drops in support for Clinton & Giuliani Mark Memmott and Jill Lawrence "National support for Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton and Republican Rudy Giuliani significantly eroded over the past month," USA TODAY Washington bureau chief Susan Page writes. Meanwhile, Republican Mike Huckabee's standing in the national poll has shot up -- to the point where he leads a group of four GOP contenders basically tied for second place behind front-runner Giuliani. Susan adds that results of the latest USA TODAY/Gallup Poll underscore the volatile nature of both the Democratic and Republican nomination battles with just one month to go before the Jan. 3 Iowa presidential caucuses.
The national telephone poll was taken Friday through Sunday. There were 425 Republicans and "leaning" Republicans surveyed, and 494 Democrats and "leaning Democrats." Each number has a margin of error of +/- 5 percentage points. The results: Republicans. • Giuliani: 25%; vs 28% in the previous survey, taken Nov. 11-14;
and 34% in a Nov. 2-4 survey. So, his support has fallen 9 percentage
points in a month.
