Poll: Romney well ahead of McCain, Giuliani
Union Leader ^ | 05/08/2007

Posted on 5/9/2007, 5:01:32 AM by Jim Robinson

In the first poll of likely New Hampshire Republican primary voters since last week's GOP debate in California, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney leads the other two Republican front-runners, according to a SurveyUSA poll completed for WBZ-TV in Boston.

On the Democratic side, the poll showed New York Sen. Hillary Clinton dominating the field.

The poll was completed May 4-6. SurveyUSA said 2,000 New Hampshire adults were surveyed, 1,756 of whom are registered to vote. Of that total, 551 were identified as likely to vote in the Republican primary, while 589 were identified as likely to vote in the Democratic primary.

Romney was favored by 32 percent of the likely Republican voters polled, while 23 percent favored former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and 22 percent favored Arizona Sen. John McCain. Non-candidates former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson and former House speaker Newt Gingrich received 11 and 4 percent, respectively, while all other candidates received a combined 5 percent and 3 percent were undecided.

Romney received his strongest support from those identifying themselves as conservative - 35 percent, compared to 20 percent for McCain and 17 percent for Giuliani. Giuliani led among self-identified Republican-voting moderates, with 33 percent, and among self-identified Republican-voting liberals, with 36 percent.

Somehow I distrust Romney less than I do Giuliani, but I sure would like to get this race on a positive track and stop holding my nose.

Good. My two favorites are Duncan Hunter and Mitt Romney.

NO RUDY..Too Liberal

NO McCAIN..Too whacked

NO PAUL..Too spaced

Sitting on the fence still, but observation of the fracus leads me to believe in First tier (Currently) Romney. Second tier Hunter.

If Fred Thompson gets into the race, will consider his candidacy at the time. I like him.

If Newt gets into the race, will not even consider him viable. Good man for support, but not Presidential.

Somehow, I trust Romney to do his very best to represent all of us.

I feel he is a very good man. Don’t you?

My candidate remains Duncan Hunter, however it is not an unwelcome development to see Mitt Romney starting to eclipse RudyTooty and John ‘CFR’ McCain.

No surprise that Giuliani finds his support strongest among so-called ‘moderates’ and of course: LIBERALS.

Probably the same crowd who agreed with Giuliani in ‘96 when he commented on Bob Dole’s loss on election night saying that Bill Clinton was a ‘good and decent man, and the country has run pretty well.’

I would not be surprised to see Giuliani’s campaign fold up by Labor Day.

“And the wailing and gnashing of the teeth of the RudyBots was heard throughout the land.”

No. We don’t reward cut and run politicians with the Presidency. Precious Willard is every inch as odious as Rudy.

I would really like to see a candidate who looks like he could rebuild a Jeep transmission, too many pretty boys in the line up.

Today is Wednesday, the 23rd of August 2006, and I predict on this day the nominee of the Republican Party for President of the United States in 2008 will be Mitt Romney.

I come to this conclusion by virtue of the candidate' s telegenic personality and by the utter absence of charisma among the rest of the pack. It's all about television and Romney has it. No one on these boards can claim purer conservative credentials than I have been espousing for years on these threads. I am not unaware of Romney's deficiencies. I know that he is a Mormon, I know that he is the governor of the most liberal state in the nation, I know that he is not pure on the murder of babies. Nevertheless, he will march to the right and he will get the nomination.

Full disclosure requires that I have weaseled: If Fred Thompson enters the race, he will be nominated. I would like to see a Thompson /Romney ticket.

And full disclosure requires that I have never weaseled on my prediction that Romney will be nominated, regardless of whether Fred enters the race.

Whatever Romney flipped on -- he never flopped afterward.
