Poll: Romney Takes GOP Lead in Michigan
Mitt Romney, who last week led a New Hampshire poll of 2008 GOP presidential hopefuls, now finds himself leading in his birth-state of Michigan. American Research Group ran a poll of 600 likely Republican primary voters from May 4-7 in Michigan. Romney now is in the lead with 24 percent of the vote. McCain has 22 percent and Giuliani has 19 percent. Romney's support has tripled since late February. McCain and Giuliani have each lost support, 13 percent and 11 percent respectively.
But the lost support for McCain and Giuliani can be misleading because for the first time, actor Fred Thompson has been included in the polls. Thompson received 8 percent of the support in the Michigan poll and some of that support was taken from the top tier candidates because the unsure vote has remained stable.

Romney handily won the first Republican presidential debate, according to an Internet poll sponsored by NewsMax.com. He also took the lead in the latest SurveyUSA.com's New Hampshire poll.
According to David Terr of PresidentPolls2008.com, "Romney's support may be a little bit inflated right now because voters are now getting to learn about him and interest in his campaign is peaking. But many conservative voters are looking for a more conservative politician to support over Giuliani and McCain and Romney resonates very well with those voters. We do not expect his support to die down."
