Our political team reports this morning on our latest Reuters/Zogby poll that shows the 2008 presidential race right now looks to be all about New York. 

Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York, and New York City’s former Republican mayor Rudy Giuliani are leading their races four months before the first presidential primaries. His lead is narrow over newcomer candidate Fred Thompson while she has a double-digit lead over rival Sen. Barack Obama.

But don’t forget, it is still too early for many voters to be engaged. Our survey found that about 20 percent of likely voters in both parties have not made up their minds on which candidate to support.
