Republican Rudy Giuliani's White House quest could
be in deep trouble as he lags far behind the leaders in a Florida
presidential primary he counted on winning, according to a Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby
poll released on Tuesday.
Hours before the start of Florida's voting, Arizona Sen. John
McCain held a slim 4-point lead over former Massachusetts Gov.
Mitt Romney, 35 percent to 31 percent, in what was essentially
a two-man race, the poll found.
Giuliani, the former New York mayor, was battling former Arkansas
Gov. Mike Huckabee for a distant third place finish in Florida.
Both registered 13 percent.
The margin of error in the poll was 3.3 percentage points.

Giuliani had staked his campaign on a strong Florida showing
after pulling out of other early voting states, but he has drifted
down in national and state polls for weeks as the drama of an
intensely contested Republican race passed him by.
"The race has become a two-man race, and Giuliani is just
not a factor," said pollster John Zogby.
McCain and Romney have dominated the headlines in Florida with
a heated battle over who is best prepared to rescue a struggling
economy and lead a nation at war, shoving Giuliani and Huckabee
aside.
No Republican has been able to grab the front-runner's role in
a seesawing Republican race to represent the party in November's
presidential election.
