Poll: McCain springs ahead in California

(CNN) -- A new survey indicates that presidential candidate Sen. John McCain has made dramatic gains with California Republicans.

Sen. John McCain is leading in California, according to a CNN poll out Monday.

The Arizona senator is 13 points ahead of his closest rival in a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Monday: Thirty-nine percent of likely California Republican primary voters back McCain, while 26 percent support former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

For McCain, that's a 19-point jump in the polls since the last CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey conducted in the state two weeks ago. Romney made gains as well, rising 10 points over the past two weeks.

Since the previous poll, McCain has won the South Carolina Republican primary, which was the first test of Southern voters for the Republican White House hopefuls. Romney scored victories in Michigan, his native state, and Nevada, where he was one of the few candidates to actively campaign.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is in third place in the new survey, with 13 percent of California Republicans backing him for the GOP presidential nomination. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is at 11 percent and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas is at 2 percent.

Senator, do you wear boxers or briefs?

McCain:  Depends....


I thank the Bob Dole presidential campaign for those.

He looks older than his mother; she sounds healthier than he does.

He IS old. 

I do like his experience and military background.

No doubt, I'm sure his civil war experience will come in handy
