The View from the Other Side
How Republicans Rate the Democratic Candidates, and Democrats Rate the Republicans

Even though nearly all voters with a partisan leaning intend to vote in their own party's primaries or caucuses, many do have opinions about the candidates running in the other party's contests. Hillary Clinton's unpopularity among Republicans is abundantly clear. Just 11% of Republican voters say they would like to see Clinton win the Democratic nomination, compared with 45% of Democratic voters nationwide who back Clinton. The current Republican frontrunner -- Rudy Giuliani -- is far less polarizing. A slim 25% plurality of Democratic voters say they would like to see Giuliani win the GOP nomination, just slightly fewer than among Republican voters themselves (31%).
