A Five-Way Tie

For the first time all year, Sen. John McCain leads a national Rasmussen tracking poll for the Republican presidential nomination.

Nonetheless, his lead of 17% is not statistically significant since his rivals are all within the poll's margin of error. Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee are just a point behind at 16% and Rudy Giuliani is two points back at 15%. Slightly off the pace, but still within five points of McCain, is Fred Thompson at 12%.

In the hypothetical national primary, it's a statistical tie among five candidates.
