The pollsters at Gallup asked, “Do you think it is appropriate or inappropriate for Former New York City Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, to participate in the memorial services that will be held at ground zero in New York City on September 11th?”

Ninety-two percent said appropriate, 5 percent said inappropriate, 3 percent said no opinion.

When asked, “Do you think it is appropriate or inappropriate for New York Senator, Hillary Clinton to attend in the memorial services that will be held at ground zero in New York City on September 11th?”, 85 percent said appropriate, 11 percent said inappropriate, 4 percent said no opinion.

Then they asked, “As you may know, in his presidential campaign, Rudy Giuliani often refers to his experience as mayor of New York City during the September 11th terrorist attacks. Which comes closer to your view: he should refer to his role in the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks because it is a legitimate way for him to demonstrate his qualifications to be president, (or) he should not refer to his role in the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks in order to avoid gaining politically from a tragedy?”

Sixty percent said Giuliani should refer to his role, 37 percent said he should not.

Gallup also asked, “Do you think Rudy Giuliani’s experiences as mayor during the September 11th terrorist attacks makes him much better qualified to handle the terrorism issue as president than if he had not had this experience, does it make him somewhat better qualified, or does it not make him any better qualified to handle the terrorism issue?”

Nineteen percent said much better qualified, 32 percent said somewhat better qualified, (51 percent for those first two options) 48 percent said not any better qualified, and 2 percent said they had no opinion. I can’t help but notice that adds up to 101 percent in that last one, so I suspect somebody rounded up somewhere.
