Tight Races In Nevada, Florida

By Marc Ambinder
Jan 14 2008, 1:08 PM ET Comment

For Nevada, in a poll conducted for the Reno Journal Gazette:

Obama: 32%
Clinton: 30%
Edwards: 27%

McCain: 22%
Giuliani: 18%
Huckabee: 16%
Romney: 15%
Thompson: 11%

And in Florida, the big lede is that Rudy Giuliani's campaign is, indeed, sensitive to momentum, per a Quinnipiac poll.

Giuliani: 22
McCain: 20
Huckabee: 19
Romney: 19

What this also means: if Mitt Romney somehow wins Michigan, he can skip South Carolina and put all his chips down in Florida, and probably come away with a strong showing.

If McCain wins Michigan... he has a better chance to win South Carolina (off the Huckabee / Thompson convergence) and swing into Florida in a good position to dethrone Rudy Giuliani.
