There hasn't been any new polling in Michigan until now. I'd advise you to consider the source on this one. But it isn't out of line with what you might expect given recent national trends. He's only a point ahead of Mitt.
Lansing, MI (LifeNews.com) -- A poll released on Tuesday night just hours after the New Hampshire polls closed shows former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee leading in the next presidential battleground state of Michigan. He has a one point lead over former Massachusetts Gov, Mitt Romney and is five points ahead of John McCain, who won on Tuesday.
The survey, conducted by Rossman Group/MIRS/Denno-Noor and done after Iowa's caucus but before the New Hampshire primary vote, finds Huckabee at 23 percent despite virtually no campaigning in the state.
Romney comes in at 22 percent and McCain, an Arizona senator, enjoys the support of 18 percent of Michigan Republican voters.
Rudy Giuliani, the only self-declared pro-abortion candidate in the race comes in with eight percent, Fred Thompson got four percent in the poll, Ron Paul three percent and Duncan Hunter just one percent.
Another 13 percent of GOP voters in Michigan are undecided, according to the survey.
