MCain is having a good month

NRO points to this The new New York Times poll showing presidential preference among Republican primary voters. To the quesiton, "Who would you like to see the Republican party nominate as its presidential candidate?" Republican primary voters answered:

McCain 33
Huckabee 18
Giuliani 10
Thompson 8
Romney 8

In a poll released December 10 the numbers looked like this:

Giuliani 22
Huckabee 21
Romney 16
Thompson 7
McCain 7

What a difference a month makes!

Since Bigdog in the comments only respects Rasmussen polling, try this one on for size:

McCain vs. Clinton matchup
