Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton beats John McCain and ties Rudolph Giuliani in a new Newsweek national poll, a stunning counterpoint to recent surveys showing the former first lady trailing the GOP’s dueling presidential frontrunners.
The poll, taken earlier this month, shows Clinton besting McCain 50 to 43 percent among 1,000 registered voters nationwide. It also showed her in a dead heat with McCain among independents, a group that has proven stubbornly resistant to her centrist message.
Clinton leads Giuliani — her onetime Senate nemesis — by a 48 to 47 margin, a technical tie that falls within the poll’s 4 percent margin of error.
