Republican Nomination: 4-Way Statistical Dead Heat NATIONALLY

Here's an interesting NATIONAL poll from American Research Group (ARG) on the Republican presidential nomination, showing it has now become a four-way statistical dead heat. This may be a first in modern presidential politics.

The numbers:

Giuliani 21%
Huckabee 21%
McCain 18%
Romney 16%
(Margin of error: =/-4%

What's happened since the last ARG national poll, just a month ago in November, is that Thompson has melted down (from 18% to 6%) and Giuliani and Romney have lost support, while Huckabee and McCain have gained.

If other national polls show a similar trend, then our GOP deadlock scenario looks awfully plausible.
