Tied with Cain behind Romney with 44% (ouch).

This week's NBC News Poll taken by the Marist Institute and released hours before the debate showed a slight Romney lead in Iowa but a decisive Romney advantage in New Hampshire, with his 44 percent more than three times bigger than his two closest rivals (Mr. Cain and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, both at 13 percent) and seven times bigger than his putative (but increasingly less pugilistic) opponent, Mr. Perry, who in New Hampshire if not nationally is rapidly becoming an afterthought rather than a thoughtful alternative for a Republican morning after.

Most of this is about how Mitt has it in the bag and is all chivalrous and stuff like that, but it ends halfway decently:
Mr. Romney remains over-prepared and over-programmed. One, maybe two, of his rivals will have a moment in the sun, and my bet goes to Mr. Paul, who has worked the hardest and has yet to have his harvest. And it is a long way from a campus debate to a general election. But Tuesday showed that Mr. Romney's Republican opponents -- and Mr. Obama -- have reason to be worried, maybe very worried.
