The second poll in a few days shows Herman Cain jumping into second place in New Hampshire.
A survey from the Harvard Institute of Politics and the New Hampshire Institute of Politics shows Cain with 20 percent of the vote, trailing Mitt Romney, who remains in first place with 38 percent. Ron Paul is in third place with 13 percent.
The poll comes on the heels of a WMUR/UNH poll that put Romney at 37 percent, Cain at 12 percent and Paul at 9 percent.
Both polls had Rick Perry languishing with just 4 percent of the vote.
The Harvard/NHIOP poll also puts a damper on recent surveys showing Jon Huntsman on the upswing in the state. The WMUR poll had him at 8 percent and an earlier Suffolk University poll had him at 10 percent. But the survey released today shows Huntsman with just 4 percent of the vote.
Perhaps most notable: Only 25 percent of respondents in the Harvard/NHIOP poll said they thought Huntsman could defeat Barack Obama. That compares with 72 percent who said they thought Romney could oust the president and 47 percent who said the same of Perry.
For a candidate like Huntsman, who has pinned much of his message on electability, those are disappointing numbers.
The bottom line is that there's still been no polling at any point in the race, and certainly not in the last few weeks, that suggests Mitt Romney has a serious competitor for frontrunner status in New Hampshire.

If Cain pulls off an upset in NH against Romney(unlikely) ....but even comes close..well, we have a contendah! :-)
If the other conservatives in this race drop out and support Cain, Romney doesn’t stand a chance!!!
Well, duh...liberal people will embrace liberal candidates.
HERMAN!!!!!!!!!
If he finishes in the top 2 in NH, its all over for the rest of the field.
I can already hear the so called “republican” (Charen, Krauthammer etc...)media spin if Romney wins by this margin in NH. How this just goes to show that Cain is unelectable and that only Romney can beat Obama blah blah blah.
In reality, nothing can be gleaned from a Romney NH win. His home state is right next door and he’s been up and down NH for the better part of five years! If he does not do well in the NH primary, he’s DONE. The only story that NH can tell us is if Romney doesn’t DEMOLISH everyone else. He can’t prove anything there.
But you know - you KNOW - that a Romney win in NH will be touted as the beginnings of a landslide, no stopping the inevitability of his selection as GOP candidate etc...
If Cain (or anyone else, for that matter) is within 15 points of Romney in NH, it’s a DISASTER for him.
Cain with 20 percent of the vote, trailing Mitt Romney, who remains in first place with 38 percent......
The poll comes on the heels of a WMUR/UNH poll that put Romney at 37 percent, Cain at 12 percent and Paul at 9 percent.
Both polls had Rick Perry languishing with just 4 percent of the vote.
Golly, if I were a Perry supporter I’d be be pretty damned bitter to everyone I talk to as well. I think I finally understand them

Excellent post! Romney has been stuck at around 25% approval with the GOP voters. I believe he’s going down south and get slaughtered.
His base are Rhino’s and this is the year of the stirred up conservative.
Cain needs to start attacking Romney if he is serious instead of only going after Perry and also the protestors on the bridge.
Lets see Cain go after Mitt.
Less than 40% for Romney in his own back yard........How is that book tour working out for you Herman!
Signing books in Virginia.......surging in NH, LOL
Debate in NH tomorrow, should help Herman pick up a few more points.
Very few are as sharp, or can speak as well as Cain.
Well, I did listen to Orson Wells, years ago, read the NYC phone book.......On Johnny Carson, I believe.
RIVETING! But, so is Cain.
“If the other conservatives in this race drop out and support Cain, Romney doesn’t stand a chance!!!”
If Romney is STILL at 30% in NEW HAMPSHIRE, he’s beatable, EASILY.
It’s time for the Perry people to quit whining and unify behind a viable candidate.
ping for more good news.
“Cain needs to start attacking Romney if he is serious instead of only going after Perry and also the protestors on the bridge.
Lets see Cain go after Mitt.”
He will, don’t worry. First he needed to clear the field. His strategy is perfect.
But, but he’s on a book tour/doesn’t have a ground game in NH/can’t with with his tax plan/blah blah blah.
Does anyone know if Cain is a CFR member?
Thank you both for the links/pings to double plus good news on a rainy Monday. Citizen Cain, the leader of the Cain Mutiny!
