Romney with commanding lead in New Hampshire

(GOP12).A Now Hampshire/Populus Research poll shows Mitt Romney jumping out to a big lead among New Hampshire voters.

1. Mitt Romney "just over" 50%

2. Sarah Palin 17%

2. Mike Huckabee 17%

4. Newt Gingrich 13%

5. Tim Pawlenty 2.7%

Mike Dennehy, a veteran of Sen. John McCain’s two campaigns in the Granite State, is not surprised by the result. “Gov. Romney worked very hard here in 2008. He maintains a lot of support.”

“It’s interesting to see the way Palin and Huckabee compete for almost the same voters and end up splitting their support,” Dennehy said.
