Trump gives Romney run for his money in NH

Raleigh, N.C. – Few in the media and pundit class are taking Donald Trump seriously as a presidential contender, but evidently New Hampshire Republicans are. Neighboring Massachusetts’ Mitt Romney leads in every variation of the potential GOP field, but his grip on the state is slimmest with Trump in the mix.

Overall, Romney is about where he was when he finished second to John McCain in 2008, with 32% of the vote then and 31% now. But that is a far cry from the 40% he earned when PPP last polled the race just before last November’s election. Behind him are Mike Huckabee (15%), Newt Gingrich (13%), Sarah Palin and Ron Paul (10%), Tim Pawlenty and Michele Bachmann (4%), and Haley Barbour (2%), with 12% undecided.

That 2:1 margin would severely narrow if Trump makes good on his flirtation. Romney would still lead but with only 27% to Trump’s 21%, Gingrich and Huckabee each at 12%, and the others in single digits. Trump’s flogging of the birther conspiracy theory of late has gotten him a lot of traction. PPP recently found that 51% of GOP voters nationwide doubt Obama’s citizenship. While that number is only 42% here, Trump actually leads Romney 22-21 with birthers, while no other candidate comes nearly that close in the other variations.

Romney may already have been dragged down by “Romneycare,” but he has likely not yet reached his floor. Romney dominates with those who say they would vote for a candidate who supported a health insurance mandate at the state level, but they make up only 14% of the electorate. 61% are against a mandate. While they still give him more support than they do the other candidates in almost every permutation, that fact suggests that as more of these voters are reminded by Romney’s opponents of his past actions on health care, the lower he will fall.

“Mitt Romney’s looked like the runaway favorite in all of our New Hampshire polling to date,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “Donald Trump’s the first person to hold him to a single digit lead. He really could prove to be a serious candidate if he gets into the race.”

PPP surveyed 384 usual New Hampshire Republican primary voters from March 31st to April 3rd. The survey’s margin of error is +/-5.0%. Other factors, such as refusal to be interviewed and weighting, may introduce additional error that is more difficult to quantify.
