Here in this new Marist poll. Giuliani has slipped some in polls, but not as much as you might expect given the rotten two months of free media he’s had and his own questionable performance lately. Probably a sign of his enduring strengths and the weakness of the rest of the field so far. This is the Marist analysis:

Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani outdistances John McCain, his closest competitor, by a margin of ten percentage points among Republicans and Republican leaning independents nationwide. Giuliani has the support of 28% compared with John McCain who has 18%. Former Senator Fred Thompson, who is considering a run, is now in third with 13%. Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney follow with 8% and 7%, respectively. However, when supporters of Rudy Giuliani are asked how committed they are to his candidacy, only 30% of Giuliani backers are firmly committed to voting for him. Republicans want a presidential nominee who shares their values and is a strong leader. A large proportion of Republicans who support Rudy Giuliani are interested in his leadership abilities. 42% of Giuliani’s backers want someone who is a strong leader, and 22% want someone who shares their values. 34% of McCain’s supporters want someone who is a strong leader, and 25% are looking for someone who shares their values. When informed about Rudy Giuliani’s positions on social issues like abortion, gun control, and gay rights, most Republicans see this as a factor in whether or not they will support his candidacy. A majority of Republicans say this makes them less likely to vote for him. Among registered voters, enthusiasm for Rudy Giuliani has mollified. Although 58% still say they will consider voting for him for president, 39% say they definitely will not do so. This is an increase from 30% of registered voters who said in February they would not consider voting for him. For the first time, fewer than half of the national electorate views Rudy Giuliani as ideologically about right. 60% of Republicans still view him as ideologically acceptable although almost one in four view him as too liberal. In head to head matchups against the top tier Democrats, Giuliani narrowly loses to Hillary Clinton and John Edwards. He runs neck and neck with Barack Obama.
