Decision 2008: McCain's NH lead slipping? Will Giuliani cruise to the nomination?




A new SurveyUSA poll out of New Hampshire shows a tie between Rudy Giuliani and John McCain. The polls show Giuliani 33%, McCain 32%, Romney 21%, others 11%. On the Democratic side it showed a strong HIllary lead. Polls showed Clinton 40%, Obama 25%, Edwards 23% others 9%. These are good numbers for Hillary and not so good for her presimed opponent John McCain. 3 weeks ago Sen. McCain held a strong NH lead of 6+ points. McCain comes 2nd to Giuliani everywhere except, Missouri, NH, and South Carolina. All key states needed to win. It is far from over for McCain, however Giuliani's lead is holding. The momentum and media attention is in McCain's corner so he holds on to his top spot. This is an unusual poll for Hillary. 2 other polls in NH show her tied or narrowly behind Illionis Sen. Barack Obama. "The first in the nation" primary may become more important than many thought. A win in either NH or Iowa could swing the nomination towards a candidate.
