SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - A new poll shows Republican Mitt Romney leading all current GOP challengers by more than 20 points in New Hampshire.
A Public Policy Polling survey released this week shows Romney crushing other GOP contenders among New Hampshire Republican voters with 39 percent of the those polled.
Sarah Palin came in a distant second at 13 percent, while Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee tied for third with 11 percent. Ron Paul came in fifth. 13 percent were undecided.

Probably an accurate measure of what the folks in New Hampshire think. They gave us Juan McCain, or at least the big boost he needed after his campaign had seemed dead for a time.
Republicans in other parts of the country need to learn to ignore New Hampshire results. It’s pity they don’t change this system to remove the outsized influence of two atypical states like NH and Iowa. The first primary voting day should be a cross-section of states from lib to conservative.
do the New Hampshirites remember Romney as Governor of Mass? Why else support Romney? Is the GOP on another suicide mission?
Age Range | Palin | Romney |
18-29 | 43% | 29% |
30-45 | 6% | 47% |
46-65 | 12% | 37% |
65 and older | 14% | 38% |
I participate in a poll about once a month. I use to click the Republican box for party but now I click on other and write in Conservative. I will not vote for a liberal Republican. Voting for John was the last straw.
If Romney wins the nomination then all bets are off and us conservatives will do what is best and leave the liberal based Republican party!

Yes. And that is what will probably happen.
Source?
Romney = obama for 4 more years.
Sure he can win the South if he is the nominee, but how well he might do in the Republican primaries would depend on the other choices.
Frum: "I will support (Romney) without qualm."
Frum now makes his living as the media's go-to basher of fellow Republicans
"the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
... was Nicolle Wallace's husband."
"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"
"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
NH isn’t overrated—but its politics is.
Romney will slap the kenyan silly.
Romney is a capitalist first and foremost. Obama the commy will take a bad beating from Mitt, I’m confident.
Palin cant win the general election. Romney probably can

This is true only if you believe what the media is putting out. If Romney gets the nomination, conservatives stay home, Tea Party voters stay home, many Christian voters stay home, many women stay home. The election will be about dems vs repubs. We always lose those elections.
If Palin is nominated, all of those voters will turn out and bring more. The election will be about conservative issues and we win those.
I believe mitten has moved to NH
“Romney = obama for 4 more years.”
Yes. It also means the end of the GOP as a national party. It will be a regional party - in the Northeast.
I really think it’s going to have to be somebody new like Brown or Palin or Demnint, Ryan etc. Mitt is old news and he just comes across a bit slick. I’d take him over Obama any day, I just want to see Obama lose so bad.

“Romney is a capitalist first and foremost. Obama the commy will take a bad beating from Mitt, Im confident.”
Our cardboard cutout can beat your hologram.
No.
“It will be a whole new ball game once Hillary sees her opening to get in and the mush-headed moderates have to decide whose primary they are going to screw up.”
That won’t happen unless BO is incapable of running.
They did the dame thing with Johnny boy. Look how that turned out?
