Quinnipiac Poll Has Clinton Beating GOP Candidates in Florida


An October 10th Quinnipiac poll shows Clinton defeating Giuliani 46% - 43%, breaking a 44% - 44% tie in the last Quinnipiac, done September 12th. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 3.3%.

Clinton's support is also quite deep - 59% of her supporters in the poll say they are unlikely to change their mind.

"The news just keeps getting better for Sen. Clinton... [she] is widening her margin over the Republican hopefuls in each of those three critical states [Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio]," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

"Mayor Giuliani's lead over his Republican counterparts remains stable, but the vast, vast majority of Republicans don't believe he has the nomination locked up, and even six in ten of his supporters say they are somewhat or very likely to change their mind," Brown said.

Only 14% of GOP voters polled believed that Giuliani had the nomination locked up.
