After his campaign ran out of money this past summer and pundits wrote off his election chances, John McCain has seen a surge in support since winning the New Hampshire primary. A recent CNN/Public Opinion poll has him leading the Republican pack with 34% of support from Republican registered voters. This represents a 21 point jump for McCain since a similar poll was conducted last December. Mike Huckabee is in second place (21%), followed by Rudy Giuliani (18%), Mitt Romney (14%), Fred Thompson (6%), Ron Paul (5%) and Duncan Hunter (1%).
On the Dems' side, Hillary Clinton leads with 49% of support from registered Democrats. She jumped 9 points from last December. Barack Obama is in second place (36%), followed by John Edwards (12%) and Dennis Kucinich (1%).
