N.H. primary poll puts non-candidate Romney first

For Republicans fearful of Donald Trump becoming their party’s presidential nominee, a new Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll of likely New Hampshire Republican primary voters offers a three-word solution: Willard Mitt Romney.

If the former Massachusetts governor were added to the mix of the 14 other Republican candidates running in the Feb. 9 first-in-the-nation presidential primary, New Hampshire voters would, if the election were held now, give him a 2-to-1 win over Trump, the leader of the field.

Romney, who said as recently as last week that he is not interested in running, did not file for the New Hampshire primary ballot by the deadline last Friday. He would have the support of 31 percent of Granite State Republicans compared with 15 percent backing Trump, the poll indicates....

Obama is the worst president since FDR. He has done as much damage in two terms as FDR did in three terms.

Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll

The pollsters are BS'ers telling the New York Times owned newspaper what it wants to hear.

New Deal agricultural credits are where it all started. Farmers should be self-reliant. I blame AP Giannini.

[SharpRightTurn]

New Hampshire should be the last state allowed to hold a primary.

Remember that in 1968 Henry Cabot Lodge won the NH primary, who was out of the country and wasn’t even running!

[Diogenesis]

RomneyCARE cheated to win NH 4 years ago, bringing in
his flock from other states, thereby winning near
highways.

Team Romney has put Obama in twice before, and there
still is an America to destroy by him and his flock.

I will say how I feel, especially about someone like Bushy...I loved GWB, thought he was a good President, and in fact I don’t think anyone could have done a better job than he did thru 9/11, but this apple (Bushy) didn’t fall far from the nut tree..

I feel sorry for Fla...to have had him as Gov. or anything else and thank goodness we don’t have to have him for Pres.!!!

This is the strangest poll I have ever seen.

If you check the PDF of the poll you will find that the first question is: "If the Republican Primary for President of the United States were held today, who would be your first choice to win the Republican nomination?"

Then guess what???

Trump IS NOT EVEN LISTED!!!

Then they base all of their other questions on this "first choice" where Trump ISN'T EVEN A CHOICE!!!

[BobL]

If running Romney in the Primary is the best that the Republican leadership can come up with, then Trump has NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

I’m more scared of some asshole-conservative running against Trump next November.

[Amntn]

Someone, smarter than me, needs to post the PDF of this garbage poll to show what Trump is up against with the dishonest media and pollsters.

[Biggirl]

He is not running. This poll is meaningless.

[Mycroft Holmes]

Someone, smarter than me, needs to post the PDF of this garbage poll to show what Trump is up against with the dishonest media and pollsters.

It's a 131 page .pdf document. PDFs won't post here, probably because the pdf specification includes an executable part, i.e. a virus vector. To post this someone would have to convert it to jpg or gif, host it on a site and then annoy everybody with a yhuge posting. Not likely.

This just goes to prove that if Trump was not in this race, we would be in the process of coronating Jebbie Bush.

Here is a direct link to the POLL PDF.

Advisory: folks, remember this is a PDF. Page breaks will occur at regular intervals (so many lines of text), so some charts will be cut in half.

If you believe someone didn't show on the poll, be sure to check the top of the next page. You'll probably find who you thought was left out.

[goldstategop]

The filing deadline to get on NH ballot passed.

Nothing more than a push poll by the Boston Globe.

Apparently it must have confined its sample to Mitt supporters.

Its completely ridiculous! In any case, he won’t run.

That window has closed.

[dforest]

That would be called “Muttiny”.

Considering the source.....

Oh good grief!! I backed Romney the last time VS 0bama for the good of all. But not again. Romney had his chance.
