Mitt Romney and Hillary Clinton lead their respective fields in a poll of 2016 primary voters in New Hampshire.
Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, leads Republicans with 30 percent support in a new Bloomberg Politics/Saint Anselm New Hampshire poll released on Monday. Clinton, the former secretary of state and former senator from New York, is supported by 62 percent of Democratic primary voters.
Romney leads Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, the physician Ben Carson, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisc.
Christie and Paul lead the field if Romney is not in the race, followed closely by Bush.
Romney holds a 77 percent favorability rating from Republican primary voters, but among general election voters the number falls to 47 percent, four percentage points below Clinton.
Clinton leads the Democratic primary field by a daunting 49 percentage points over her nearest challenger, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
She is seen favorably by 88 percent of Democratic primary voters, and her overall favorability is 51 percent.
The telephone poll of 989 New Hampshire adults was done Nov. 12-18 with a sample of error of plus or minus 4.4 points.
