Pataki in trouble; what about Hillary?

The New York Post today reports on two new polls (one by Marist College the other by Siena College) that both show New York Governor George Pataki getting beat badly by Attorney General Eliot Spitzer in his bid for a fourth term.

Marist College poll:
60% Spitzer
33% Pataki

Siena College poll:
48% Spitzer
34% Pataki

Both polls also showed that former Mayor Rudy Giuliani would beat Spitzer.

As for the former first lady, Hillary may need to tend to her own fence before launching her national assault for the White House.

In a repeat of the early-2000 election, Giuliani v. Hillary, the Marist survey found Giuliani the winner, 49% to 47%; the Siena poll found Clinton ahead, 52% 41%

What does all this mean? Not much. The only thing these polls may do is hurt Pataki's fund raising efforts... other than that, they're meaningless.
