A new Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll shows that Sen. John McCain is on a roll with voters, while Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama are neck-and-neck in key Super Tuesday states.



"The Mac Attack appears ready to launch on Super Tuesday," says pollster John Zogby. "McCain's leads are commanding, except for in California where Romney leads in Southern California and among women, investors, and voters over 50. Romney holds a double-digit lead there among conservatives and leads 56%-18% among very conservative voters. Romney also leads among white voters and among those who say that the war on terror and immigration are top issues.


"McCain will do well because of his big leads in the other states and because of winner-take-all states. But Romney may at least have a strong showing in California. In Missouri, Huckabee is in second place by virtue of strong support with conservative and (especially) very conservative voters.


"On the Democratic side, California, Missouri and New Jersey are so close. Obama's lead in California is by virtue of solid support in the Bay Area and among independents (by 20 points), men (20 points), 18- to 29-year-olds (31 points), very liberal voters (22 points), and African-Americans (75%-14%). Clinton does well among women (11 points) and among Hispanics (64%-29%).


"In Missouri, Obama has solid leads in the St. Louis region (16 points), with independents (7 points), young voters (16 points), and African-Americans (62%-26%). He also leads among moderates and men. Clinton leads in Kansas City (7 points), in the southwest part of the state (16 points), and among liberals (8 points), women (5 points), and among voters over 65 (25 points).


"Obama leads in both northern and southern New Jersey, among men, and among African-Americans (74%16%), while Clinton again holds Hispanics (19 points), whites (10 points), moderates (8 points), liberals (8 points), Jews (22 points), women (9 points), and voters over 65.


"It is all about delegates and these numbers suggest that both candidates get respectable votes and a lot of delegates.
