58% of Iowans and 46% of NH would rule out a candidate because they favored a mandate to buy health insurance!

Talk about ceiling of support for certain candidates.

Also interesting: Romney has contacted the same percentage of likely voters as Ron Paul in NH (52%). I guess that means keep calling!
