AZ for Mitt

A blog dedicated to informing Arizonans about Mitt Romney and the campaign for the 2008 presidential nomination.

Thursday, April 05, 2007

Two interesting polls out of NH. The first, by the University of New Hampshire, breaks down the GOP this way:

March/April February

McCain 29% 28%
Giuliani 29% 27%
Romney 17% 13%
Fred Thompson 3% --
Gingrich 2% 9%
Tommy Thompson 2% 1% %
Huckabee 1% 1%
Paul 1% 1%
Hagel 1% 1%
Tancredo 1% 3%
Brownback * 2%
Someone else 1% 2%
Don't know yet 14% 12%

Ouch for Brownback, and Romney makes the biggest gains. Significantly, the poll also asked likely GOP primary voters about Romney's faith, McCain's age, and Guiliani's marriages.

10% said Romney's faith would make them less likely to vote for him, but 19%, almost double, said that McCain's age would make them less likely to vote for him (only 4% said Rudy's three marriages would negatively impact their vote for him).

A second poll, from Zogby International, shows Romney tied with McCain in NH:


Republicans in NH – Apr. 3/Jan. 18
Romney 25%/13%
McCain 25%/26%
Guiliani 19%/20%
Fred Thompson 6%/--
Paul 2%/1%
Hagel 1%/3%
Huckabee 1%/1%
Hunter 1%/1%
Tancredo 1%/3%
Brownback <1%/<1%
Tommy Thompson <1%/<1%
Not Sure 17%/15%

Romney nearly doubles his totals, as McCain, Guiliani, Hagel, and Tancredo all drop. The only person to gain was Fred Thompson, who wasn't included in the first poll (and like the other poll--ouch for Brownback).

Thanks to My Man Mitt for the scoop.
