From Research 2000:
Romney 31
Giuliani 18
McCain 17
Huckabee 9
Paul 7
Thompson 3
It may be that McCain and Rudy are dividing the same pool of voters and neither will best Romney. How firm you think Romney’s lead is depends in part on whether you believe the results in Iowa will affect NH. Thompson, however, seems likely to finish an embarrassing 6th having declared he won’t be coming back to the state.(Sort of like McCain saying in the Iowa debate he’s opposed to ag subsidies– ensures a wipe out but also an excuse when you lose big.)
