Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) would defeat President Obama in New Hampshire by eight points if the election was held today, according to a new poll released Friday.
The results show a clear edge for Romney in the first in the nation primary state, where he is looking to build a stronghold for a presidential bid.
Forty-seven percent of New Hampshire voters said they would vote for Romney if he were the GOP presidential candidate, as opposed to 39 percent who would choose Obama, according to the poll conducted by the Nelson A. Rockefeller Center at Darmouth College.
No other potential GOP candidate approached Romney's level of support. Obama leads Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour by 19 points, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty by 16 points, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin by 27 points, Rep. Ron Paul (Texas) by 20 points and businessman Donald Trump by 22 points.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is the only candidate who comes within single digits, trailing only by eight. At 37 percent, Huckabee is the only candidate who draws more than 30 percent support from voters against Obama.

They do not like Obama in New Hampshire. While Romney is not my first choice among GOP candidates, I would certainly take him over Obama. Of course I would take all the rest of the Republicans over Obama. Romney benefits from being governor of neighboring Massachusetts.
