MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (CNN) - A new poll by The New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm's College finds former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-New York, each hold a lead over their competitors in the Granite State.

Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, comes in third with 15 percent.

Rep. Ron Paul of Texas placed fourth with 7 percent over former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (6 percent) and former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson (5 percent).

On the Democratic side, Sen. Clinton registers 43 percent, holding a commanding lead over Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, who stood at 22 percent.

Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards comes in third with 14 percent and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson placed fourth with 6 percent.

Karen,
i am sure Hillary is proud to have someone so partisan and divisive just like her supporting her, with that Democrat vs Republican BS

re: Osama Obama's "Gospel" concerts;
Quoting John Aravosis was an excellent choice. Who better to know about bigotry than a nationally famous anti-Christian bigot. Who better to castigate Obama for “sucking up” to “bigots,” than monolithic bigot who demands to be sucked up to & vilifies all who refuse to suck up to him. Who better to represent those who live in their shared fantastical alternate reality than John Aravosis who delights in slamming anyone who holds an alternate view, anyone who dares take a stand and speak their conscience. Three cheers for Donnie McClurkin.

Hillary is on her way to becoming the " King" of the castle. The Democrats will once again rule the land and the Republicans will be tossed into the moat. And the American people will live happily ever after. THE END

After Bush there is no such thing as a person being wrong for America!
If you looked up "wrong" in the dictionary you'd see his picture so be thankful for anyone that is not a drooling idiot.

Ya, with cnn she is always winning. We are on the ground not on the media ticker!

Debi, Philadelphia, Pa   October 25th, 2007 8:20 pm ET

I would hope that some of the candidates know that they don't have a snowballs chance in hell of getting the nomination. Why don't they take some of the money they are wasting on campaigning and give it to the people of Appalachia, at least it won't be wasted money. With all those millions some of OUR citizens could benefit.

Chris, FL   October 25th, 2007 8:18 pm ET

Don't believe everything your mom tells you Mark. Ron Paul can and will compete. You can't go by the polls. They are designed by the political parties.

Hillary and Rob Reiner should just subside (sink or fall, settle, as sediment, to a lower level, please become less active, intense, etc.; abate.); or go smoke a fatty. Just to bad his fortune did not go up in smoke with the rest of LA!

Ed, Boston MA   October 25th, 2007 6:40 pm ET

Ron Paul in fourth? That is awesome. His best chance is now, he's the only true Republican. Go RON!

Paul,boston, ma   October 25th, 2007 5:52 pm ET

This is Howard dean at it's best!
Go Obama!

james,seattle,washington,   October 25th, 2007 5:46 pm ET

She is always leading! We are on the ground not on the media.....

John Adkisson, Sacramento, Califiornia   October 25th, 2007 5:30 pm ET

These numbers are meaningless until the Iowa caucuses. Even with a large lead, for example, Clinton is easy to topple. If only 11% of the voters switch - which is especially likely due to independent participation in the primary, and the fact that a majority of voters remain unsure - the results would be reversed.

Remember also that by the time New Hampshire actually rolls around, everyone but Obama and Clinton will probably be out of the race.

If Obama takes Iowa– all bets are off for Clinton.

Gary, Boston USA   October 25th, 2007 5:30 pm ET

How do you 'really' know Clinton and Romney are leading in NH? Did you poll every individual in the state? Or make some statistical analysis based on polls conducted of some 200 individuals (in a state of 1.3 million) of a specific party background to identify their preference?

Mmmmm... think about it a little bit.

Joe Ossai, Bedford, NH   October 25th, 2007 4:52 pm ET

I live in New Hamphshire and this poll is crap. Sorry folks, Obama has the buzz, not Hilary.

Pete, Washington   October 25th, 2007 4:23 pm ET

Hillary, and her 'pollster' friends in the media, will be surprised to find Barack Obama wins Iowa. The BIGGER they are, the HARDER they fall... Go Barack, go.!!!

Dave, Cheverly, MD   October 25th, 2007 4:21 pm ET

Dean 38% Kerry 17% The Headline read “ Dean Surges into Wide Lead over Kerry.”

We all know Kerry went on to win NH and the Nomination.

"On the Democratic side, Sen. Clinton registers 43 percent, holding a commanding lead over Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, who stood at 22 percent."

Ahhh the power of the media on the mindless dem. Sorry black America, your still second fiddle at Hillary's party..

Fran Teti   October 25th, 2007 4:02 pm ET

This is very good news that Hillary's lead is expanding...If Romney is the GOP guy, they are in serious trouble. Hooray!!!

Senator Clinton, if you just keep on being very specific about your plans and the rationale behind them as well as keeping up with the calm sometimes humorous response to the Republican attack machine...you will be in. God Bless and keep you safe!!!

John S. Chicago, Illinois   October 25th, 2007 3:57 pm ET

There is something to be learned from the Tortise and the Hare story. Lets ask Barack Obama what that is since he has loads of common sense.

Daniel, NY   October 25th, 2007 3:55 pm ET

Another good poll out today is from Minnesota general election. Clinton posts some very strong numbers against the GOP. Check it out here.

Dan, TX   October 25th, 2007 3:46 pm ET

Ooops! LA Times is reporting on illegal fund raising by Clinton in NY Chinatown. So, democrats no longer care about integrity? No different than republicans? Fight fire with fire. Republicans have screwed democrats, vote for Hillary so we can screw republicans?

A vote for Hillary is a vote for revenge. No thanks, I want someone who actually cares more about the future of our country than the political upper hand.

M. Brathwaite, Virgin Islands   October 25th, 2007 3:38 pm ET

Obama is not WHITE ENOUGH TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATE" It continues to be a very racist Country and the fact is his nubers in the polls will not go any higher because they reflect the racist margin in the populace. The media will meticulously tear apart his campaign because he maybe the rite candidate but he is not the WHITE candidate. God help the world if this is true democracy.

Fred, Walnut Creek, CA   October 25th, 2007 3:38 pm ET

While she is winning wide support in nationwide samples among Democrats in the race for their party’s presidential nomination, half of likely voters nationwide said they would never vote for New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, a new Zogby Interactive poll shows.
The online survey of 9,718 likely voters nationwide showed that 50% said Clinton would never get their presidential vote. This is up from 46% who said they could never vote for Clinton in a Zogby International telephone survey conducted in early March. Older voters are most resistant to Clinton—59% of those age 65 and older said they would never vote for the New York senator, but she is much more acceptable to younger voters: 42% of those age 18-29 said they would never vote for Clinton for President.

Dan, TX   October 25th, 2007 3:32 pm ET

In both cases, the easy choice is not the right choice.

Both Clinton and Romney are the wrong choices for America.

Maddoxx, NY,NY   October 25th, 2007 3:21 pm ET

You go, Girl.....! I will go with you as well.

Travis   October 25th, 2007 3:08 pm ET

Romney takes Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, Michigan and does well in South Carolina...game, set, match!

Mark. Shreveport, La   October 25th, 2007 2:52 pm ET

If Ron Paul can't compete in NH, AZ, and AK, he can't compete anywhere.
Fourth place in such an independent and libertarian state as NH is pretty bad news for him.

Tom, New York, NY   October 25th, 2007 2:41 pm ET

not a surprise.... just stay with your plan Hillary....and stay away from the attack modes of the candidates behind you....continue to tell us how you will lead the country out of the mess we are in now... we don't care about your thoughts of the other candidates...keep going and you will be leading us in 15 months
