Romney Ahead in New Hampshire

The Hill reports:

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) enjoys more than triple the support of his next closest competitor in New Hampshire's Republican primary, according to a poll released Monday.

Thirty-two percent of New Hampshire's Republican voters said they would support Romney in next year's first-in-the-nation primary, according to a CNN/WMUR poll conducted through last weekend.

That puts Romney well ahead of the poll's second place finisher, Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), whom 9 percent of New Hampshire Republicans said they would support in the primary.

Six percent each said they would support former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R). Five percent said they would support former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R).

Five Republicans were tied at four percent: Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), former Godfather's Pizza CEO Herman Cain, former Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R), and Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels (R), whose name was included in the poll results before he withdrew from the race on Sunday.

Two percent support former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) and 17 percent of New Hampshire GOP voters said they had no opinion at this point in the race.
