Well, it was not exactly as we’d all been buzzing about. Romney is down 10 pts, not 9, to 23%. Rudy is up 4 pts. to 22% and McCain is up 5 to 17%. Thompson is down 1 pt to 12%. Maybe debates do matter, at least in New Hampshire.
CLARIFICATION: The above numbers are with Newt in the race. Without Newt in the race: Romney 25%, Rudy 24%, McCain 18% and Thompson 13%. (Either way a tad off the earlier “birdie” report floating around.)
