June 27, 2007 13:47PM
New York Sen. Hillary Clinton has pulled into a tie with former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani in Ohio, according to a new poll on the 2008 presidential race.
Clinton gained ground from mid-May, when she trailed Giuliani by four points among Ohio voters in the Quinnipiac University Poll, which is regularly monitoring voter sentiment in Ohio and two other presidential swing states.
Clinton also leads Arizona Sen. John McCain and former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson in head-to-head matchups in Ohio.
The poll found that Clinton and Giuliani continue to lead their respective party fields in Ohio. Clinton is leading among registered Democrats in Ohio with 40 percent, compared to 12 percent each for Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards and former Vice President Al Gore.
Giuliani commands 25 percent among registered Republicans in Ohio, compared to 17 percent for Thompson, 16 percent for McCain, and 7 percent for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
