18-34 year old voters

A Rock The Vote poll* shows there is much more support among 18 - 34 year old voters for Giuliani (8%) than other Republicans - apparently, he is viewed by such voters as both a "hard-nosed pragmatist and a social moderate" (Politico.com).
[*Not sure what organization sponsors this.]

I think Giuliani will attract older moderates as well, especially females (with his more pro choice stance than other Republicans). This may not be showing up in other polls yet since this group may consist largely of first-time voters who are not on their radar (which would also help Hillary's numbers).

I also find it interesting that 32-42% identified themselves as Republican or Republican-leaning and 37-49% identified themselves as Democratic or Democratic-leaning. I was surprised to see the percentage of Republican voters (larger than expected).
