Poll indicates strong Tea Party support for Romney in NH

Former Governor Mitt Romney has struggled to attract support among Tea Party activists in pockets throughout the country, but he appears to have secured broad support among the movement's supporters in New Hampshire.

In a new WMUR poll, his favorability among supporters of the Tea Party is strikingly high - 77 percent and far exceeds any other candidate.

Among Tea Party supporters, Romney's favorability numbers were far higher than even candidates who are viewed as closely aligned with the movement, such as Sarah Palin (whose favorability was 48 percent), Ron Paul (43 percent), and Newt Gingrich (53 percent).

see my tagline.....if the “Tea Party” wants a rino like Romney......there’s no hope.

the morons of this country did elect a marxist muslim mulatto, but they will never elect a MORMON!

You are probably correct that Romney is unelectable.

But, that doesn't stop the GOP from nominating him. And that is the problem. Many of us knew McCain was unelectable. I even posted that in February 2008, long before he even got the nomination.

The GOP has done stupid before, and they are likely to do it again and again.

It is from the Boston Globe so you can bet it is propaganda.

NH has gone commie lib since approximatley GHW Bush’s shot at a second term. They went for Clinton at that point and have been in the crapper ever since IMHO.

[FlingWingFlyer]

It sounds like the commie libs in the state run “media” have chosen Romney as our candidate for 2012. I wonder what they’ve got on him.

This is the same stinking FAKE Poll posted yesterday on three different threads with the same stinking lousy internals.

My post from One of Three posts of the same poll yesterday!

Some internals:

The poll of 757 randomly selected New Hampshire adults was conducted from Jan. 28 through Feb. 7 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. The poll includes a subsample of 357 likely Republican voters that has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 5.2 percentage points.

There is no potential Democratic challenger for President Barack Obama, but just 65 percent of likely Democratic primary voters said they plan to vote for Obama, and 27 percent are undecided. The subsample of 259 likely Democratic primary voters has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 6.1 percent.

"The numbers do not add up from previous samples of likely voters in the general population. Less "likely" Democratic voters there are 498 from the pool of "randomly selected New Hampshire adult". This includes not likely to vote Democrats, Independents and Republicans. Subtracting "likely" Republican voters we are left with 141 voters. These voters equal %18.6 of the total sample size."

"I'm not buying it. This is a fraudulent poll to create the news rather than to report it."

"It is time for everyone to start posting the stinking internals from these supposed "polls". The media is creating the news and the echo chambers of the left and many here keep repeating them!"

Maybe they polled the “No Labels” crowd???

[arrogantsob]

This is insane.

[Caipirabob]

So these are the “damn yankees” my kin always warned me about...

[arrogantsob]

The attention paid NH and Iowa is ENTIRELY media driven.

this deep, deep, deep blus state is a huge factor in picking our nominee.

What exactly constitutes a deep, deep, deep blue state to you?

Republican won Senatorial race in 2010 by 5.5%
Demonrat won Gubernatorial race in 2010 by 7.6%
Approximately 456,000 voted in the 2010 races.

New Hampshire 2008 Population: 1,315,809 Est.
Around 711,000 voted in 2008 - McCain lost by 68,000+

New Hampshire 2004 Population: 1,297,961 Est.
Around 678,000 voted in 2004 - President Bush lost by 9,000

The Tea Party must drink Kool-Aid in New Hampshire.

How can a group of people oppose Obamacare but support a candidate that implemented something similar when he as governor?

[Ol' Sparky]

I may not vote for Mitt Romney in the primaries, but I believe he is also a good American

Do you think Bill Clinton is, too? Willard is the only politician I have seen flip-flop and lie as much as Slick Willie.

[toddausauras]

NH has certainly become a very deep blue state. The evidence speaks for itself. Look at the last two presidential elections, and look no further.

“If you don’t run Chris Christie, Romney will be the nominee and we’ll lose,” said Coulter, eliciting cheers from the crowd.

I saw Ann state that on Hannity tonight. Coulter needs to get out of New England and find some real conservatives.
