WASHINGTON - Representative Michele Bachmann has rapidly gained ground in a new poll of New Hampshire voters, tapping her popularity with Tea Party activists and potentially causing problems for Republican front-runner Mitt Romney.

The former Massachusetts governor, who has long dominated polls in the Granite State, had his lead cut to single-digits in a new survey done by Public Policy Polling. Although polls taken six months before voters head to the polls can be unreliable, they can also provide a window into a volatile Republican electorate.

Bachmann, a Minnesota Republican, would get 18 percent of the vote, according to the poll. That is far higher than the 4 percent she got when the firm polled in April.

In the latest poll, she trailed 7 points behind Romney, who would get 25 percent of the vote. Former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is the only other candidate polling in double digits, with 11 percent.

The Mitt with the sh’t is fading.

Michele Bachmann for Congress

This source, which endorsed her congressional campaigns, says Marcus (hubby) started the business, but I believe it was a family business by both of them. The endorsement even reads that way, if you’ll note. Michele herself presents it that way.

She is also a tax litigation attorney who represented clients who needed help with the IRS.

Happy to let you have the last word, but here is what you actually said...It was just inaccurate is all

Right now according to RCP, Romney has a commanding lead onthe rest of the field (just the messenger here, hold your fire).

Following himare Perry, Bachmann, Palin and Cain all well behind.

If Perry and Cain get in, it pretty much guarantees Mitt the nomination.

Supporters of one certain other non-candidate this year do that crap.

Your posts show otherwise Your spam is getting weaker. Along with the manager your candidate hired. He, obviously, feels differently about the one he is managing I do not spend my time attacking others’ favorite candidates in order to make me feel less insecure about the candidates that I support.

[Grunthor]

Yes, that IS what I actually said. You CHOSE to ASSUME that I was assigning some order to the race. I was not. I explained this in subsequent posts. YOU CHOSE to do this because you are on the lookout for any insult to your preferred candidate, real or imagined. The jihad against anyone not on the floor with you, licking her pumps is doing her NO favors.

Your knee jerked so damned hard I am surprised your leg is still attached at the hip.

Michele Bachman is not my candidate actually. I prefer Cain but I like Bachmann and Palin as well. I am attacking no candidate here; simply pointing out that the worship of a certain NON-candidate and denigration of people that have the guts to enter the race, BY THE SAME people, doesn’t pass the smell test.

have the guts to enter the race

That doesn't take guts. Come back when they go through what SARAH and her family has for nearly 3 years - then you talk about guts.

I am attacking no candidate here.....have the guts to enter the race

You say your aren't emotional, yet you are - you say you aren't attacking but your are. PDS sure makes a mess out of those who dwell in it.

I don’t care about that.

RINO Bush insulted Reagan with “Voodoo Economics” and Reagan still picked him as VP.

This wasn’t the candidate, this was the campaign manager.

[Grunthor]

PDS? Grow up.

[presently no screen name]

You can’t see that or admit it either but it is FULL BLOWN! Fyi...you aren’t fooling anyone. Funny to watch, though.

[Grunthor]

Well you keep watching, Sunshine.
