McCain Knocks Legs Out from Under Huckabee in Ohio, Positioned for Easy Buckeye Win: Two weeks to the Ohio Republican Primary, John McCain is 2:1 atop Mike Huckabee, according to SurveyUSA's latest tracking poll, conducted exclusively for WCMH-TV Columbus, WCPO-TV Cincinnati, WHIO-TV Dayton, and WKYC-TV Cleveland. In a SurveyUSA poll released one week ago, McCain led by 14. Today he leads by 32. All of Huckabee's core support is eroding, as the Republican party coalesces around McCain. Among Conservatives, Huckabee had led by 3, now trails by 27, a 30-point swing. Among voters who attend religious services regularly, McCain had been up by 1, now is up by 24, a 23-point swing in his direction. Among Pro-Life voters, Huckabee had been tied, now trails McCain by 20.

Filtering: 2,000 state of Ohio adults were interviewed 02/17/08 and 02/18/08. Of them, 1,789 were registered to vote. Of them, 478 were determined by SurveyUSA to have already voted in the 03/04/08 Democratic Primary, or to be likely to vote at the precinct on Election Day. Because Ohio's 88 Republican convention delegates are awarded proportionally, the size of McCain's winning margin is significant.
