July 3, 2007
(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Rudy Giuliani is the top contender in a four-person race for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in the United States, according to a poll by CBS News. 34 per cent of respondents would like to see the former New York City mayor as their candidate, down two points in a month.
Actor and former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson is second with 22 per cent, followed by Arizona senator John McCain with 21 per cent, and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney with six per cent.
Yesterday, Giuliani discussed security issues, saying, "It’s my first commitment of the 12 that I’ve made to the American people. We have to be on offence in the terrorist war against us. What that means is we have to anticipate. (...) We’ve got to be on offence in the Islamic terrorist war against us."
In American elections, candidates require 270 votes in the Electoral College to win the White House. In November 2004, Republican George W. Bush earned a second term after securing 286 electoral votes from 31 states. Democratic nominee John Kerry received 252 electoral votes from 19 states and the District of Columbia.
