There’s a new New Hampshire poll out tonight from Suffolk. And the big story is Michele Bachmann. Romney remains in the lead with 36%. Bachmann takes 11%. But that’s up 8 percentage points from May. And everyone else is in single digits.
Actually, that understates the drop off. Ron Paul has 8%. From there you drop down to non-candidate Rudy Giuliani at 5%. Huntsman and Palin at 4%. Pawlenty, Gingrich and Cain each at a micronious 2%.
At this point in the cycle, I’m a bit unclear whether it’s to Romney’s advantage or not to have really no nominate-able opponent even in contention. And yes, that means I don’t consider Bachmann or Paul realistic nominees.
