According to a new McLaughlin & Associates 2008 presidential poll, John McCain and Rudy Giuliani appear to be the frontrunners on the Republican side, while Hillary Clinton is running head and shoulders above everyone else on the Democratic side.
This is also the first survey I’ve seen that includes newcomer Duncan Hunter in the rankings. Unfortunately for him, he garners exactly 0% of the votes. Here’s the results:

Giuliani and McCain run within a few points of each other, and when Republican voters are combined with Independent voters, surprisingly, McCain’s stock goes down. It can be assumed that Condoleezza Rice’s inclusion in this poll might account for Giuliani’s poorer than usual showing, as Giuliani and Rice both seem to be popular among the redder Republican voters and are two highly popular and recognized figures being forced to split the vote.
The poll also shows McCain and Giuliani blowing Hillary Clinton out of the water, both men holding around 15 pt. leads over Clinton:
