Poll: Law & Order fans prefer Rudy?
Not everybody loves robo-pollsters like SurveyUSA, but we see some interesting tidbits in the cross-tabs of its latest Florida poll: Among regular Law & Order watchers likely to vote in the GOP primary, 38% back Giuliani, compared to 20 percent for Law & Order actor Fred Thompson and 19% for Mitt Romney. Rudy leads among self-described conservatives, with 30% support, compared to 20 percent for Romney and 22% for Thompson, who leads the pack in north Florida.
Among Democrats, Hillary Clinton is trouncing Barack Obama by 37 percentage points, though SurveyUSA finds African-Americans support Obama over Hillary, 56% to 41%.
The poll also found that 56% of Florida voters are uncertain how they'll vote on the property tax amendment.
