New Jersey Gov. Chris Christies is leading the field by 5 percentage points of likely Republican voters in the New Hampshire primary, a new poll shows.

But the Granite State-WMUR survey shows that if 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney were to enter the 2016 race, he would be the first choice of many likely voters in the state.

Despite the scandal surrounding the closing of lanes leading to the George Washington Bridge, Christie received 19 percent support while Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul had 14 percent.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was in third position with 11 percent of the vote while Sen. Marco Rubio of that state received 8 percent, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal got 5 percent and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz had 5 percent.

Christie has nearly four times as many people likely to vote for him than Cruz, the poll indicates.

But the survey outcome would be different

if Romney Doesn't Run

You can't be serious. Romney's wife may actually badger him into pretending to run for President again?

[Opinionated Blowhard]

He’s got it made. Just like Giuliani, who lead the early NH polls in 2008, Christie will blaze a trail right to the nomination!!

Sarcasm aside, polls at this point are complete, total BS and aren’t worth discussing seriously.

Not Fred Karger?

[Bullish]

He’s just a fatass Mitt Romney.

Who cares what a liberal east-coast state thinks?

Christie has nearly four times as many people likely to vote for him than Cruz, the poll indicates.

This is Common Core math. It doesn't matter if you confuse "four times" with "one-fourth" as long as you can explain how it benefits the GOP-E.

Did they ask BOTH of the Republicans in NH?

[Hogblog]

No thanks..... we will let real Conservatives pick the nominee..... the McLame & Mittens thing didn't go so well.

The Cruz Missile!

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Chris Christie should run.

Mitt Romney should run.

And (whatever) Bush should run. Heck both of them should run.

Run. Run. Run!

[Morpheus2009]

Problem is, he’s trying to win over people who have not much reason to change over to Democrat. I mean, why vote for iffy Christie when you can vote for the democrat nominee anyways.

[PapaNew]

What's all this Christie B.S.?

So many pretenders, so few genuine lovers of liberty and America and haters of big government.

[Salvavida]

We are at the cusp of losing our country, and we're talking about Christie?

*uck Christie.

[Washi]

Listen up GOPe and Fox News (but I repeat myself):

No Romney
No Christie
No Bush

I’m not voting for any more faux-conservatives.

Ever.

[SECURE AMERICA]

Christie and Romney??
The GOPe will surely lose another Presidential election. The have no clue what the American people want or need!

[Veggie Todd]

[Dead Corpse]

As a gun owner?

All I can say is HELL NO.

[Ben Ficklin]

"So many pretenders"

Who is he real deal?

[AnAmericanInEngland]

I guess Ann still thinks she’s entitled to be first lady. Mitts android kids seemed pretty pissed after their old man got spanked by the guy who couldn’t win reelection, or so we were told.
