The WMUR/Granite State Poll gives Christie a first-place 19 per cent showing among New Hampshire Republicans
But when Romney is added to the mix, he draws 39-percent support and leaves everyone else in single digits
Paul Ryan has the highest 'favorable' numbers of the field, at 55 per cent
Christie's 46 per cent favorable number is soft since a separate 36 per cent say they don't like him
When asked which potential White House hopeful they would never support, More Republicans name Christie than any other pol.
Chris Christie narrowly leads the pack of potential Republican presidential candidates in a poll of New Hampshire residents released Friday, but Mitt Romney crushes the competition when his name is added to the field.
Christie, the cantankerous and controversial New Jersey governor, emerged as the most polarizing name on a list of 13 politicians presented during a phone poll between June 19 and July 1.
While 46 per cent of New Hampshire Republicans like him, another 36 per cent don't. And he topped the list when GOP respondents were asked who they definitely would not vote for.
But with 19 per cent support in a hypothetical presidential primary, Christie has emerged as the flavor-of-the-month front-runner.
All 13 potential Republican candidates in the WMUR/Granite State Poll have either fed speculation about their plans for 2016 or allowed pundits to place their names in contention.
But former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who has said he will not run for president again, comes out far ahead when his name is added to the mix – posting numbers nearly as dominant as Hillary Clinton's in the Democratic field....

What do you call a Republican in N.H.?
A Democrat in a cheap republican suit.
No Hampshire is not an accurate measuring stick of a Pubbie candidate’s viability.
I hate New Hampshire. Why does that little piss ant state have so much say so regarding who gets nominated?
NO, NO, NO ...No more Romney. The Dems chose him for us in the last election, don’t let them dictate our candidate again.
Not going to happen, but it does raise the question looking at that list..... WHO?
Romney owns a hut on a lake up there. They no longer believe in live free or die.
Oh yes Willard the undocumented president...
the DREAMer...
Does Romney Earn America’s Merit
Dont' forget Iowa, a state with a caucus format, meaning they have only a little tiny piss ant population that votes. These two little odd ball piss ant voter populations are way out of proportion. This has got to stop.
BTW, Newt's SC vote total was more than Iowa and NH combined for all six candidates….and it's not like SC is a huge state by any means…if that puts it in perspective
Romney? Christie? I don’t understand the appeal of Jake or the Fatman here.
Has Romney said anything about the illegal aliens yet ???
its been several days since Gov Palin gave a statement...
he usually copies Sarah days later as though her words were his original...
‘here’ meaning there in New Hampshire
The party is over.
Major loser. Won’t be getting any votes from this household.
Romney and Perry. Count neither one of them out for 2016. It all depends on what the GOP-e decides to give us.
Chihuahua Romney - the One and the Only "Magic RINO(TM)":
Mitt Romney and Lil' Ricky Santorum celebrate Political Assassination of 2012 Conservative GOP Presidential Candidates (Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Michelle Bachman ...)
.
This is insane.
We already tried Romney last time.
We tried Romney.
Romney won’t get any more at any time in the future, than what he got last time.
We tried Romney.
Let’s run a real candidate next time.
At this point Romney looks good.....
In another year, he might look even better.
But, against whom? Cruz? Jindal? and a bunch of other “undeclared” candidates?
This is the media trying to foist this loser on the GOP again.
Hell, why don’t they try to convince McCain, or Graham, or some other mushy RINO to jump in and spend buckets of cash.
If one were to keep in mind who does the left and the media fear the most, those names are not even on that list.
