The survey-obsessed folks at the Gallup Poll released results of their latest round of polling of the Presidential candidates. Hillary Clinton leads the democratic field by a wide margin -- 38% versus 19% for second place Obama and 15% for third place Edwards. On the Republican side, Rudy Giuliani enjoys a comfortable first place lead with 38% support compared to 16% for McCain and 10% for Fred Thompson. Mitt Romney trails far behind with just 6% support among those polled.
Does money matter in predicting who leads in the polls at this early stage? These Gallup results point to mixed results. Hillary Clinton raised about $1M more than Obama, but her commanding lead in this Gallup Poll suggests she’s getting more bang for the dollar. “The survey results suggest that while Obama may have had a great deal of financial momentum in the past quarter, it was not matched by any increase in voter support,” says Frank Newport of Gallup. Romney raked in $23M (almost $10M more than Giuliani) yet he’s trailing far behind in the Republican field. What’s not clear is how much the candidates actually spent in Q1. That data will be reported April 15. Check out the graphs below for the Gallup results.
