Quote:

The poll suggests the race for the GOP presidential nomination is up for grabs, with 20 percent of likely Republican primary voters in California supporting Sen. John McCain of Arizona as their nominee and 16 percent backing former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani was at 14 percent, and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee at 13 percent.

Taking into account the poll's sampling error of plus-or-minus 6 percentage points among the Republicans, the race is a statistical dead heat. There are 170 Republican delegates at stake in California.

Rep. Ron Paul of Texas is in fifth place in the survey, at 8 percent, with former Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee at 6 percent and Rep. Duncan Hunter of California at less than 0.5 percent.

On the Republican side, a plurality of voters said McCain has the best chance of beating the Democratic presidential nominee.
