Poll: Hillary Barely Ahead In NH, McCain Shoots Ahead Of Romney By Eric Kleefeld - January 2, 2008, 7:15PM
New polling from Franklin Pierce college shows Hillary Clinton clinging to a statistically insignificant lead in New Hampshire, while John McCain appears to have overtaken Mitt Romney.
Here are the numbers, with comparisons to their last poll from mid-September:
Democrats:
Clinton 32% (-4)
Obama 28% (+10)
Edwards 19% (+7)
Richardson 8% (-2) Republicans:
McCain 37% (+23)
Romney 31% (+1)
Giuliani 10% (-13)
Paul 6% (+3)
Huckabee 5% (+3)
Romney's problem is not that he's lost any support. Instead, he's stayed in one place while McCain has shot up in the polls and solidified the opposition. Rudy Giuliani, meanwhile, has withered away, with most of his former supporters probably going over to McCain.
