A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds John McCain leading Hillary Clinton nationally by double digits. The survey, conducted on the two nights following New Hampshire’s Primary, shows McCain attracting 49% of the vote nationwide while Clinton earns 38%.

Among Republican voters, McCain leads 86% to 6%. However, among Democrats, Clinton’s lead is a slightly less dominant 74% to 18%. McCain leads by twenty-one points among unaffiliated voters.

This is the third straight poll showing McCain ahead of Clinton. In December, the Arizona Senator led by six points. In November, he held a narrow two-point edge.

A separate national telephone survey, conducted just before New Hampshire voted, shows McCain leading Obama 46% to 43%. That’s little changed since a December poll showing McCain with a two point advantage.

Those surveys find Mike Huckabee leading Clinton 45% to 42% while Obama leads Huckabee 45% to 43%. This is the first time a Rasmussen Reports poll has ever shown Huckabee ahead of Clinton. However, the three previous polls of that match-up each found Clinton leading Huckabee by four points or less. In December, it was Clinton 47% Huckabee 43%.

Obama has led Huckabee every time that match-up has been polled, but it has been getting closer as the former Arkansas Governor has moved up in the Republican race. In December, Huckabee trailed Obama by four points.
