A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of the presidential race in Florida shows former Big Apple Mayor Rudy Giuliani with a modest lead over Senator Hillary Clinton of 46% to 41%. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney leads the former First Lady 46% to 39%. Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson has a nine point edge 47% to 38% while Arizona Senator John McCain leads by ten, 48% to 38% .
These numbers flip the scenario Rasmussen Reports witnessed in an August poll of the race in Florida. Then, Clinton enjoyed a five-point edge on Giuliani and double-digit leads over Thompson, McCain, and Romney. Another change: today a lot more voters prefer a third option and express support for Some Other Candidate.

It’s interesting to note the consistency of the numbers regardless of the Republican candidate matched against Clinton. All the GOP hopefuls earn between 46% and 48% of the vote while Clinton attracts 38% to 41%.

A separate survey of the Florida Primary shows Clinton leading all Democrats by a wide margin and Giuliani leading Republicans in a more competitive environment.

Clinton is viewed favorably by 45% of Florida voters, unfavorably by 54%. Thompson is viewed favorably by 56%, Giuliani by 58%, Romney by 52%, McCain by 51%.

Fifty-seven percent (57%) of likely voters favor Amendment One, a ballot measure to be decided January which would let many homeowners save on property taxes; 25% oppose it.

Voters are split on whether Florida Governor Charlie Crist on the Republican presidential ticket as VP would encourage them to prefer that ticket. Thirty percent (30%) say a Crist pick would make them more likely to vote Republican, 30% say less likely, 33% say it would have no impact.

Sixty-five percent (65%) think Crist, who made property tax relief a major issue in his gubernatorial campaign, is doing a Good (44%) or Excellent (21%) job.

Two thirds (66%) say police should routinely check whether drivers pulled over for traffic violations are in the country legally, and 58% say that illegal immigrants discovered this way should be deported.

The survey was conducted in partnership with Fox Television Stations, Inc.
