Clinton leads in Michigan, GOP race too close to call

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton holds a lead in polling for the upcoming Michigan Democratic primary, while the Republican primary appears to be a close race between Arizona Sen. John McCain, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

Romney and McCain have been within the margin of error in several polls over the past week, with Romney and McCain trading leads.  Romney has held support between 21 to 30 percent, while McCain has shown support ranging between 22 and 34 percent.  Romney leads in the latest Mitchell Interactive poll, 29 percent to 27 percent, while McCain leads in the latest Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll, 27 percent to 24 percent.Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee appears to be a distant third, while former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson, Texas Rep. Ron Paul, and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani vie for fourth.

On the Democratic side, Clinton holds a wide lead, but that lead is somewhat diminished by the fact that her main competitor, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, is not on the ballot there.  Former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina also skipped Michigan, which was stripped of its national delegates by the Democratic National Committee for holding its primary before February 5.

Clinton polls around 50 percent in most polls.  About 30 percent of voters say they’ll support “uncommitted.”  Former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel and Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich both poll in the low single digits.
