It's not happening fast, but Bill Richardson looks a little better with each poll and each passing day. On the 17th, a new CNN/WMUR poll was released on the race in New Hampshire. The poll was conducted by the University of New Hampshire, and surveyed 333 voters who said they were voting in the Democratic primary.
Bill Richardson is now sitting at 11% in the poll. But even more remarkable is the fact that he's now sitting in third place among the Democratic candidates. A month ago, John Edwards was in third place with 14% support, but his support has slipped since then. Edwards is now sitting at 9%, putting him in fourth place behind Richardson.
And the poll had some great news for a candidate like Richardson, who has had to claw his way up from the bottom (he started with less than 3%). It seems that most New Hampshire voters are not locked in to a particular candidate.
Only 10% of primary voters say they have definitely decided on who they will vote for. Another 26% say they are leaning toward a particular candidate. But a full 64% of New Hampshire Democrats say they are still trying to decide who to vote for in the upcoming primary. With nearly 6 months left, it looks like New Hampshire is still up for grabs.
Here are the results of the latest poll:
Clinton...............36%
Obama................27%
Richardson........11%
Edwards.............09%
Biden.................04%
Kucinich............03%
Dodd..................*
Gravel................*
No opinion........09%
