Rudy, McCain Crack Biden

A new Rasmussen poll shows that a general election race between former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Delaware Senator Joe Biden, if held today, would end in a laugher, as Rudy whups Biden 54-35.

Arizona Senator John McCain also beats Biden but by a smaller margin, 48-36. Biden's biggest problem, and a likely reason why he has announced so early, is name recognition.

According to the poll, Biden is viewed favorably by 35% of Americans and unfavorably by 38%. Twenty-seven percent (27%) don’t know enough to have an opinion on the subject. Giuliani, on the other hand, has a favorable rating of 69%.
