Strategic Vision: +17 in Powerhouse PA, +3 in WI

New polls from Strategic Vision. First, Rudy's opening a big lead in Pennsylvania:

20. Who is your choice for the Republican Presidential nomination in 2008? (Republicans only)
Rudy Giuliani 42%
John McCain 25%
Newt Gingrich 5%
Mitt Romney 5%
Bill Frist 4%
George Allen 3%
Rick Santorum 1%
George Pataki 1%
Chuck Hagel 1%
Undecided 13%

Rudy does very well in big states with lots of delegates. The trick is that few of them are early primary states. Ohio (potential firewall), New York (which should be a gimme) and California are all on Super Tuesday. Only Michigan, which is being bought and paid for as we speak, and is also the original home state of Mitt Romney, comes earlier. The big question is: will Florida change its primary date?

He also holds down a slight lead in the Badger State:

21. Who is your choice for the Republican Presidential nomination in 2008? (Tommy Thompson excluded; Republicans only)
Rudy Giuliani 36%
John McCain 33%
Mitt Romney 7%
Newt Gingrich 6%
George Allen 3%
Bill Frist 2%
Rick Santorum 1%
George Pataki 1%
Chuck Hagel 1%
Undecided 10%

I don't typically report on SV's Condi results anymore, because I consider the practice of adding a candidate to a second ballot to be invalid. It is interesting to note that in every state, she takes overwhelmingly from McCain. More on what this means in the next post, but McCain's early supporters do seem to be shopping around quite a bit, don't they?
