A new statewide survey in New Hampshire shows a Democratic contest that has a clear front-runner and a Republican race that doesn’t. Hillary Rodham Clinton holds a 21-percentage point lead over Democratic rival Barack Obama.
But among Republicans, Mitt Romney has an edge that seems increasingly precarious, while Arizona Sen. John McCain has rebounded to a strong third. Romney was backed by 26% of likely primary voters in the Marist Poll, followed by former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani at 20% and McCain at 17%. Former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson had 10%.
