"There was a Michigan bounce," Schneider said. "But McCain still leads. Conservatives, however, are divided between McCain at 26 percent, Huckabee at 24 percent and Romney at 20 percent. Saturday's South Carolina GOP primary should tell us if there's going to be a conservative favorite in this race."

About half the interviews for the new poll were taken before the Michigan primary results were known.

The poll indicates Huckabee may be hurt by perceptions about his leadership abilities.

"Nearly half of registered Republicans say he does not have the leadership skills and vision a president should have. Romney and McCain score much better on this measure," Holland said.

Rudy Giuliani is at 14 percent in the new survey. That's a drop of four points from last week's poll for the former New York mayor.

"Giuliani's support is half of what it was in November, when he last led in the national polls. Giuliani has a problem on issues. Forty-five percent of registered Republicans say they disagree with him on issues that matter to them. McCain ranks highest among registered Republicans on both measures," Holland said.
