The poll shows that about 50% of the people want a fresh new face, and that doesn't mean Gore or Jeb Bush. This poll also shows Clinton beating Obama, Giuliani beating McCain, and Giuliani beating Clinton by about 9%. Very interesting stuff.

Here is the news article (warning: FOX newshttp://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,252181,00.html

For you who want to see the full results or want to know how it was conducted http://www.foxnews.com/projects/pdf/021507_release_web.pdf

I'd like to see Giuliani win. I don't agree with all his points, but no one will ever find a candidate they agree with 100%.

So? Fox News is not always false information, you know. This information is valid, though it's probably only for people who want a new Republican face more than anything else. The Clinton beating Obama bit is also obvious as racism. Even Fox News has information that can be looked at as true, though it takes some peeling of layers to do so.

But it's a poll, and therefore "It's fox" is a valid reply.

Read what I said: peel away the layers of bias and stupidity and you can still find some valid information. It's not that useful, admittedly, but it's still valid.

...for the world's sake, I never thought I'd find myself defending Fox News...

Giuliani is probably the only Republican currently in politics that I would willingly vote for. That is probably at least in part due to the fact that I'm from Jersey and spend a lot of time in NYC.

Given that this poll is a total outlier from existing polls, I'm a little bit skeptical, but a USA Today/Gallup poll agrees with more moderation, and so I'm gonna say that it may be partially correct, but radicalised by the generally untrustable status of Fox Polls (see, they were wrong about 2006 all the way through).

Read what I said, it's a poll, it is biased based on who they interviewed and it is Fox, therefore "It's fox" is valid.

Which puts you in a huge minority. Clinton beats Giuliani nearly two to one in New York in the most recent statewide poll.

I know that. I, in fact, said as much. Of course it's biased. But once you peel away the layer of bias and look at the results, it's still valid information. It's information about a specific segment of the populace that holds no real weight in anything that matters whatsoever, but it's still valid, real information. It's not like they made it up on the spot.
