McCain Continues to Lead MI, Rudy Leads in Jersey

The only places where McCain seems to run really a strong are the primary states he won last time. Unfortunately for us, those include powerhouses New Hampshire and Michigan. That trend continues in the Wolverine State, with a big Romney footprint, in the latest Strategic Vision poll:

19. For the 2008 Republican Presidential Nomination whom would you support? (Republicans Only)
John McCain 39%
Rudy Giuliani 22%
Mitt Romney 15%
Newt Gingrich 3%
George Allen 3%
Bill Frist 3%
George Pataki 1%
Rick Santorum 1%
Chuck Hagel 1%
Undecided 12%
While MI GOP Chairman Saul Anuzis sings the praises of the McCain Michigan team, he does note that there are efforts afoot to lock down the primary after 2000's wide-open affair. At the very least, Democrats will hold their primary the same day, tamping down activity by the miscreant Democrats and independents who put McCain over the top last time. Here's hoping for a bloody, contested Democratic primary, and indies turned off by McCain's abandoning the straight talk brand.

And in next door New Jersey, Rudy leads by 13:
18. Who would you support for the Republican nomination in 2008? (Republicans only)
