The Diageo/Hotline poll out today shows a big lead for that generic Democrat running for president, up 51% to 27% over the generic Republican. But the big news here is John McCain. If the Senator from Arizona drops his White House bid, the poll shows a huge proportion of his voters will flock to former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

The Democratic race continues to solidify as a two-way race, as Clinton and Obama both picked up significant support. Meanwhile, Fred Thompson gains double-digit support from May, putting him in a statistical tie with front-running Giuliani.
