Magellan Strategies and NHJournal.com today released the results of a New Hampshire landline autodial survey of 746 likely Republican primary voters, and independent voters that are likely to vote in the 2012 Republican Presidential primary. The survey was commissioned by NHJournal.com.

The survey finds the New Hampshire Republican Presidential primary becoming competitive with Mitt Romney leading Newt Gingrich 29% to 27%, respectively. The strongest “Mitt-alternative” candidates in New Hampshire so far have been Rick Perry in August (18% support) and Herman Cain in October (20% support).

New Hampshire 2012 General Election Survey (2/14/11)

Magellan Data and Mapping Strategies and NHJournal.com today released an autodial survey of 789 likely 2012 general election voters in the state of New Hampshire. The survey included head to head ballot tests of President Obama and four, well known, potential 2012 Republican candidates. In all four ballot tests President Obama’s lead ranges from 4 points to 23 points.

Of the four ballot tests, Mitt Romney shows the most support when matched with President Obama among likely 2012 general election voters. Among all respondents, President Obama leads Mitt Romney, 48% to 44% respectively, and 8% are undecided. The ballot test between Mike Huckabee and President Obama shows the President leading by 13 points, 51% to 38%, and 11% undecided. President Obama leads by 23 points in individual ballot tests with Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich.

Looking at all four ballot tests by major voter subgroups we find President Obama in a strong position among women, self-identified moderates and independent voters. All three of these subgroups are significant because each will contribute a sizeable portion to the overall 2012 general election vote. With that said, it should to be pointed out that none of the four potential Republican candidates currently have active campaigns promoting themes and messages to attract likely general election voter support.

New Hampshire 2012 Republican Presidential Primary Survey (1/6/11)

Louisville, CO– Magellan Data and Mapping Strategies today released an autodial survey of likely 1,451 Republican primary voters, and independent voters that are likely to vote in the 2012 Republican Presidential primary in the state of New Hampshire. The survey was commissioned by NHJournal.com.

The survey finds former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney leading potential challengers with 39% support. Former Alaska Governor and 2008 Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin is second with 16%, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee is third with 10%. Following the top three include former House Speaker Newt Gingrich with 8%, Congressman Ron Paul with 7%, and former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty with 4%. The bottom two candidates include former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum with 3%, and Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour with 1%. The generic “another candidate” has 4% and 8% responded as undecided.

This survey is a very early measurement of the potential 2012 Republican Presidential primary field. Mitt Romney’s strength is not surprising considering his strong second place finish to John McCain in 2008, and his regional advantage of being a former Governor of a state bordering New Hampshire. Many political observers have commented on the “late” start of potential 2012 Presidential primary candidates in comparison to the 2008 Presidential primary. We agree with this observation, and view the survey results as an “uninformed” snapshot of likely New Hampshire Republican Presidential primary voter opinion.

New Hampshire 2012 Democrat Presidential Primary Survey (12/17/10)

Among likely 2012 New Hampshire Democrat and independent Presidential primary voters, it is no surprise that President Obama’s strongest opponent would be Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. In a head to head ballot test of the former rivals, President Obama leads Hillary Clinton by 31 points, 59% to 28%. These results are based on an automated survey of 1,002 likely Democrat and independent 2012 Presidential primary voters fielded December 14^th and 15^th.

Two other hypothetical primary matchups were tested of former Vermont Governor Howard Dean and Vermont US Senator Bernie Sanders. In both ballot tests, President Obama demonstrates strong support among Democrat primary voters. The Obama-Dean ballot test finds President Obama with 78%, Howard Dean with 10% and 12% undecided. The Obama-Sanders ballot test shows President Obama with 79%, Bernie Sanders with 8%, and 13% undecided.

New Hampshire GOP Primary Survey (9/13/10)

In our final poll of the New Hampshire Republican primary for US Senate, we find Kelly Ayotte leading Ovide Lamontagne by 4 points, 35% to 31%. Bill Binnie is third with 14%, Jim Bender with 10%, the generic “another candidate” receives 3%, and 7% are undecided. These results are based on a September 12^th automated survey of 1,083 likely Republican and independent primary voters who intend to vote in the September 14^th primary. This survey has a margin of error of +/- 2.98% at the 95% confidence interval.

The story in this race is the 10 point surge in support for Ovide Lamontagne since our last survey on September 1^st. His increase in support is broad, but not limited to any particular subgroup of voters. He has improved his standing among every major voting subgroup in the state by 9 to 11 points. Kelly Ayotte is still leading the race, and has increased her support by 1 to 3 points across major voting subgroups. Clearly she has been successful “holding” her voters in place.
