There's much to chew on in this Free Press/Local 4 Michigan poll, not the least of which is that former Speaker Newt Gingrich is running well ahead of the state's favorite son, Mitt Romney:

Republicans
Giuliani 32
McCain 28
Gingrich 16
Romney 8
Brownback 2
Hagel 1
Other 10

On the Democratic side, Hillary thumps the rest of the field with the big news being that she pulls in 59% of the African-American vote versus only 23% for Barack Obama:

Democrats
Clinton 49
Obama 20
Edwards 8
Gore 7
Richardson 2
Biden 2
Kucinich 1
Dodd 1
Other 8

Here are the head-to-head results, which seem to bode well for Democrats at this very early stage:

Clinton 46 - Giuliani 42
Clinton 45 - McCain 43
Clinton 49 - Romney 36

Edwards 49 - Giuliani 38
Edwards 45 - McCain 40
Edwards 53 - Romney 29

Obama 45 - Giuliani 38
Obama 44 - McCain 39
Obama 49 - Romney 30

The poll asked one other question, the always important "if you had another chance to vote in 2004, would you vote for Bush or Kerry?" Answer: Kerry's meager 3-point win (51-48) turns into a 15-point rout (53-38).
