Poll: Romney,
Clinton Leading in N.H.

The latest poll from New Hampshire shows that Mitt Romney and Hillary Clinton remain the front-runners in New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation presidential primary, but they have yet to seal it. Just 16% of Republicans and 24% of Democrats said they've ''definitely decided'' whom to support. The poll shows Clinton with strong support on questions of experience and dealing with terrorism, but when asked who is ''most trustworthy,'' 26% said Barack Obama, compared with 19% each for Clinton and John Edwards. Romney has vulnerable spots as well.

Romney has vulnerable spots as well. Thirty-four percent of Republicans said Rudy Giuliani is the ''strongest leader,'' compared with 26% for Romney, the former Massachusetts governor. And Romney trailed John McCain and Giuliani on the question of which candidate is best able to deal with terrorism.
