(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Voting intention surveys conducted in the Garden State place John McCain as the definite frontrunner in today’s United States presidential primary.

In the nine polls of Republican Party voters, the Arizona senator is in first place with the support of at least 43 per cent of respondents. Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney stands below the 33 per cent mark, while support is decidedly lower for former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee and Texas congressman Ron Paul.

Among Democratic Party voters, New York senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is ahead in seven surveys, while the final study by Zogby International placed her in a tie with Illinois senator Barack Obama.

In all, 21 states will hold Republican primaries or caucuses today, choosing 41 per cent of all delegates. The Democratic primaries or caucuses will be held in 22 states, American Samoa and "Democrats Abroad", choosing 52 per cent of all pledged delegates.
