Franklin Pierce University Poll: Romney Ahead

As the 2008 New Hampshire Presidential Primary approaches, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney maintains his lead over his Republican rivals, this according to a WBZ, Franklin Pierce University Poll released today.
In March, Senator John McCain and former mayor Rudy Giuliani were the early front-runners. Following the Republican debate on June 5th, Romney took the lead. Today, Romney maintains his lead with 30 percent of the vote, while Giuliani trails him with 23 percent of the vote. John McCain has now dropped to a distant third behind both candidates (14%), while the latest candidate to enter the race, Senator Fred Thompson, is well-behind the front-runners with just eight percent of the vote.

Although Romney has a modest lead, 31 percent of likely primary voters are still unsure who will win, suggesting that the Republican race remains wide open in New Hampshire.

NEW!!! Franklin Pierce, WBZ TV Poll

The buzz is amazing across the nation after the latest Democratic debates that took place on Sunday at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire. Some say Senator Clinton was a clear winner because her polling numbers are now up, according to a Franklin Pierce College/WBZ TV poll run by R. Kelly Myers, Senior Fellow at the Fitzwater Center for Communication.

"Senator Hillary Clinton has opened a much larger lead over her Democratic rivals. Just 3 months ago, Clinton held a 7-point lead over her closest challenger, Senator Barack Obama (25%)," Myers said.

The Franklin Pierce/WBZ poll is telling political analysts that Clinton attracted the support of 38 percent of Democratic primary voters after her strong performance in the debate, which is more than twice the level of support held by her closest challenger, Obama, at 16 percent.

CNN released these numbers following the Democratic Debates... Clinton got the second most face time in the election with 14:26 minutes and 15 questions. I think it shows that Clinton's performance was the key to her "victory." Obama had the most face time with 16:00 minutes, and 16 questions.

Some might say Mike Gravel won, because he went in as a "nobody," and came out getting his name and more importantly his message out to a national audience. With all due respect to the former Alaskan Senator, a good chunk of the voting population around the United States, and here in New Hampshire, didn't know who he was prior to the debate. When Franklin Pierce Polling asked voters who won the debate, or performed better than the other candidates, Gravel's percentage remained at 0%, showing that selected voters were not happy with his performance.

Also look for Senator Joe Biden's numbers to be on the rise along with Senator Chris Dodd's. New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson's favorability rating is on the rise. Richardson's net favorability rating has improved, from 17 to 41 percent in the past three months. These numbers are according to the Franklin Pierce Poll.
