Romney's 8 point lead in McClatchy MSNBC poll

Tweet

Here's another exciting poll fresh off the presses this morning:

The numbers:

• Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, had 30 percent;
• McCain, the Arizona senator, had 22 percent;
• Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor, had 17 percent;
• Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson had 7 percent;
• Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani had 6 percent;
• Rep. Ron Paul of Texas had 5 percent;
• Rep. Duncan Hunter of California and former Ambassador Alan Keyes of
  Maryland each had 1 percent.

Incidentally, the poll reporting captures what has long been true about media bias for McCain and against Romney. The articles (and the accompanying news stories) very objectively state that Romney is ahead in the poll without effusively going on and on about surging, momentum, or being "the comeback kid" as they did with McCain. The fact that neither of the polls I just posted about is being widely reported in other news stories this morning is also a complete departure from the McCain treatment in New Hampshire. I'm not surprised, I just wanted to point it out.
