Former Mass Gov. Mitt Romney is running away with the GOP Primary in New Hampshire, but he’s also showing some real strength in a possible general election matchup against President Obama there: a new Bloomberg poll shows Romney with a ten point lead on the President in the Granite State. Obama won New Hampshire in 2008 by nine points against Sen. John McCain (R-AZ).
Independent voters in the state, the site of the nation’s first presidential primary, have swung even more strongly against Obama. Romney would win independents there by 15 percentage points, the poll shows.
