In a World Gone Mad, Rudy Giuliani Is a Warm and Fuzzy Kind of Guy

Nick Gillespie | November 28, 2006

It's Giuliani time! At least when it comes to a recent Quinnipiac Poll about leading political figures and their "warmth" ratings, which appears to be interchangeable with "likeability." Respondents ranked on a zero to 100 scale, so the higher the score the better. The top 7 (out of 20), who pulled better than 50 percent:

1) Rudolph Giuliani — 64.2
2) Sen. Barack Obama — 58.8
3) Sen. John McCain — 57.7
4) Condoleezza Rice — 56.1
5) Bill Clinton — 55.8
6) Sen. Joseph Lieberman — 52.7
7) NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg — 51.1

John Kerry brought up the rear with a 39.6 rating. President Bush came in at 15, with a score of 43.8. Whole list and details here.
