A new poll of New Hampshire voters released by WBUR shows that Mitt Romney would start out in a competitive position if he decided to run as an independent against Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump: “Romney has been a leader in the Republican-led Stop Trump movement. The poll found that in a three-way match-up, Romney gets 21 percent — but pushes Clinton 4 points ahead of Trump, 37 to 33.”
Clinton’s 4-point lead over Trump in a three-way race is only two points better than her lead in a two-way race with Trump (44 percent to 42 percent).
A new national poll released today also showed a hypothetical independent candidate getting 21 percent of the vote, with Clinton at 31 percent and Trump at 34 percent.
