St. Anselm College's Institute of Politics will release a new poll today, completed by SRBI Research in New York City, showing that Clinton and Romney hold solid leads in New Hampshire.

The survey of 1,514 likely primary voters has margins of error of 4.1 percent for Democrats, 4.5 percent for Republicans and 4.8 percent for undecided voters. It was conducted Oct. 15 to 21.

It shows Democrat Clinton leading Obama 42.6 to 21.5 percent, with John Edwards at 13.9 percent. Among Republicans, Romney leads Giuliani 32.4 to 21.8 percent, with John McCain at 15.2 percent and Ron Paul in fourth place at 7.4 percent.

The poll also shows that 40 percent of self-identified independents say they were still not sure if they would vote in the Democratic or Republican primary.

Since NH is about 40% independents, that means that 16% of independents in the state haven't even decided which primary to vote in yet.

RP's campaign just tallied and entered all the mail-in checks and put them in the data stream: $432,000

In the next few hours, we'll pass the $1.8M mark in online donations (less than $5000 now) and so we're already past the 2.3M for the month of October.

Signups for our big push on November 5th proceed, now at 9,000 pledged to donate, nearly all at the $100 level. So we're likely to be at or above October's target of $4 million on November 5th.

Our target was $4 million for October, $5 million for November, $6 million for December.

I'm starting to think we can meet these very ambitious targets or at least come close. I'm thinking a $10M 4Q may be within our reach.

Added to our hoarded $5.3 2Q cash, that's first-tier money that will buy us a media campaign that can really reach the first three primary states.
