In 2000, Rudy Giuliani, popular Mayor of New York City, was for a while the favorite for the Republican nomination for New York Senator in 2000 before withdrawing from the race and being replaced by Rick Lazio. Had he still been in the race, he would have faced First Lady Hillary Clinton.

Had Giuliani not dropped out of the race, would he have defeated Hillary Clinton at a time her husband's job approval was above 55 %?

He was behind Clinton 8-10 points by the time he dropped out. If he stayed in, he could of overcome the gap but I suspect in the end Clinton is able to edge anywhere between 1-10% points. It would still be closer then with Lazio because Giuliani was a strsinger canidate.

At the very least, he would have held Clinton to 50 to 48 ish win, which is extremely embarrassing for a Democrat in New York.

Rudy would win, Hllary underperformed on both bids for Senate.

He would reduce her margins a lot in NYC, perform well in upstate and both Long Island and Staten Island would come full force to support the greatest mayor in NYC history.

Based on the polls, most observers were expecting Hillary to win a narrow victory (like 50-48) over Lazio.  Her winning 55-43 was a shocker.  The NRSC wasted a ton of money on this race thinking Hillary could be beaten.

The poll taken closest to the election said Clinton +12.
