Rasmussen: Romney Rolls in N.H; Paul, Huntsman, Santorum, Gingrich Close Together

A poll from Rasmussen Reports released on Tuesday morning, the day of the New Hampshire primary, finds former Gov. Mitt Romney headed for a solid win in the Granite State.

Romney takes 37 percent of likely Republican primary voters while U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas is in a close battle with former Gov. Jon Huntsman of Utah for second. Paul takes 17 percent in the poll, while Huntsman is right behind with 15 percent. Former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania takes fourth with 13 percent, with former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich on his heels at 12 percent. Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, who has ignored the Granite State in recent days to focus on South Carolina, takes 1 percent of the vote.

The poll of 722 likely New Hampshire Republican primary voters was taken Jan. 8 and had a margin of error of +/- 4 percent.
