A slew of new polls (see right panel) show McCain moving into a lead in states that were expected to be toss ups or Huckabee territory. McCain grabs a lead in TN, GA, MN, and IL. The new CA poll shows a tight race with Romney. If McCain can win CA by 10, he could sweep most of the 173 delegates there, but a close race could break more evenly as delegates are distributed by CD.
McCain now leads in the most recent polls in NY, NJ, CT, GA, TN, AL, OK, MN, CA, AZ, and IL. Some states have not had polling. Romney leads in UT and MA. Huck leads in AR and MO (by 1 point).
