POLL: NBC/WSJ National Survey
A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal national survey (NBC story, results; Journal story, results) of 1,008 adults (conducted 12/14 through 12/17) finds:
- Among Democrats and those who lean Democratic, Sen. Hillary Clinton leads Sen. Barack Obama (45% to 23%) in a national primary; former Sen. John Edwards trails at 13%.
- Among Republicans and those who lean Republican, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani runs even with former Gov. Mitt Romney (both at 20%) in a national primary; former Gov. Mike Huckabee runs at 17%, Sen. John McCain at 14%, former Sen. Fred Thompson at 11%.
- All other candidates receive less than five percent each. Sample sizes and margins of error for both subgroups were not released.

Since Oct. NBC/WSJ poll, Giuliani has lost 10 points, Romney has increased 10 points and Huckabee has appeared from no where at 17%. Thompson has lost 12 points and McCain is holding in the low to mid teens. Since McCain is not doing well in Iowa, he really needs a strong showing in NH or else without money, I do not see him doing well on the Feb megaprimary.
