2012 Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul placed second in a
nonpartisan poll
of likely New Hampshire voters. The poll results demonstrate the
emergence, in that state, of a surprise three-way race that omits Texas
Governor Rick Perry.
Fourteen percent of respondents chose Dr. Paul, with former
Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney garnering 41 percent of the vote. Former
Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman finishes third with 10 percent, followed by Rick
Perry with a modest 8 percent.
The poll was conducted by Suffolk University-7News. The Associated Press
notes that this survey is the first nonpartisan poll focused on New
Hampshire since Perry joined the race almost six weeks ago. The AP also
notes that Perry has visited New Hampshire several times and courted key
officials.
