According to a new Quinnipiac Poll, Rudy Giuliani now trails Hillary Clinton 50%-42% in the Empire State. The former mayor does well in the suburbs and upstate, but not enough to compensate for Clinton’s 66%-27% lead in NYC. Giuliani is in a dead heat with both Obama and Edwards, largely on residual strength in NYC.

Neither John McCain nor Mitt Romney pose so serious a threat to the Democratic control of New York’s 29 electoral votes for the past 5 Presidential elections.
