The poll suggests that Sen. John McCain of Arizona remains the front runner in the battle for the GOP nomination in New Hampshire. Thirty-two percent of likely Granite State Republican primary voters are backing McCain, with 26 percent supporting former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. Both candidates are down one point from Saturday’s CNN/WMUR poll.
The shakeup on the Republican side is for third place. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, at 14 percent, now has slightly more support than former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, at 11 percent. In Saturday’s poll, Giuliani had 14 percent and Huckabee had 11 percent.
Even though he was vastly outspent by Romney, Huckabee won Iowa’s Republican caucuses, with Romney coming in second.
“Huckabee has switched places with Rudy Giuliani. Huckabee’s got "the Little Mo’’ coming out of Iowa,” says Schneider.
Rep. Ron Paul of Texas is in fifth place at 10 percent in the poll, with Rep. Duncan Hunter of California and former Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee both at 1 percent.
For the CNN/WMUR survey, 341 New Hampshire residents likely to vote in the Democratic primary and 268 Granite State residents likely to vote in the Republican primary were interviewed. The poll's sampling error is plus or minus 5 percentage points.
