The first signs of the McCain re-surge?
SIMI VALLEY, Calif., -- ARG has new numbers today from the early state troika, Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, showing McCain ahead in all three.
He' s up by 7 percent over Rudy in Iowa, 5 percent over Romney in New Hampshire and 13 percent over Rudy in South Carolina.
Per pollster Dick Bennett, McCain has gained strength among independents and continues to do well among Republicans.
While the coverage was often unfriendly, keep in mind that McCain has been the subject of story after story in the recent days when the survey was taken.
UPDATE: I should have noted that the poll also has Romney trending up in Iowa (4%) and New Hampshire (7%) from the March survey. Straw poll wins there aside, there doesn't appear to be much movement for Mitt in South Carolina in these numbers.

I used to like McCain a lot,but I feel he is too much of a Republicrat now. If he were to get the nomination,I would surely vote for him over Hillary tho. There are a few other candidates I would rather see get the nomination tho.
