John McCain moved into the top spot in the New Hampshire Republican primary and is now leading previous front-runner Mitt Romney by a 7-point margin, 34 percent to 27 percent. A new FOX News poll shows that McCain picked up 14 percentage points since the last FOX News poll in mid-December, while Romney suffered a 6-point decline.
Essentially, McCain turned a 13-point deficit into a 7-point advantage in about three weeks’ time. Rudy Giuliani slipped from third to fourth place, with Iowa victor Mike Huckabee edging out the former New York City mayor for third position. Ron Paul, Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson all registered in the mid-to-low single digits.
Opinion Dynamics Corp. conducted the telephone poll of 500 likely Republican primary voters in New Hampshire for FOX News from January 4 to January 6. The poll has a 4 point error margin.
The poll also found that supporters of Huckabee (73 percent), McCain (72 percent) and Romney (72 percent) are about equally certain of their vote—with backers of Giuliani the least sure of their commitment (66 percent).
