Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has completely righted the ship in New Hampshire after a scare during the surge of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Romney is at 41 percent in a new poll of likely Republican primary voters in the Granite State, followed by Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) at 15, Gingrich at 11 and former Ambassador and Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman at 9 percent.
From Suffolk:
“Paul has reemerged as the number two choice during the Gingrich decline, while Huntsman has not benefited from a recent Super PAC television ad blitz attacking Romney. In fact, with both Romney and Huntsman sharing similar demographics, the ads appear to be benefiting Romney.
“There is only one candidate who can win both Iowa and New Hampshire,” said David Paleologos, director of Suffolk University’s Political Research Center. “That candidate is Mitt Romney. Although the 16 percent undecided is high right now, it is unlikely that Romney will lose New Hampshire, despite what Iowa voters may do.”
