Robertson & Giuliani ... Part 2
Posted: December 21, 2007

| Robertson declared his support for Giuliani earlier in 2007 |
Pat Robertson asked his fellow Christians to follow his lead and support The Mayor. Evidently they didn’t listen. Because in the month and a half since his endorsement of Rudy Giuliani, Giuliani’s numbers have been dropping.
The latest poll results shows that the Iowa Caucus is a two-man race. And neither of them is a candidate named Rudy.
With two weeks to go, Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney are battling it out. And Huckabee’s support is strongest among Christian conservatives – the very audience that Pat Robertson encouraged to vote for Giuliani.
The bottom line is that former Christian leaders are just that. Former. And their ability to sway evangelicals ain’t what it used to be.
Not in Iowa. And maybe not nationally. Six weeks ago, Giuliani had a double-digit lead in the Republican race. He’s now tied with Mitt Romney. And the two of them are only a few percentage points ahead of Mike Huckabee. And worse yet for the Mayor, he’s losing ground in what he called his firewall state – Florida.
If you’d like to dig deeper into the numbers, the Wall Street Journal has an excellent “Data Drilldown.”
No matter how you slice the numbers, Pat Robertson’s influence has up and gone. And Rudy Giuliani’s chances just may be down and out.
