THE NUMBERS

Mitt Romney, 37 percent

Rudy Giuliani, 19 percent

John McCain, 15 percent

Ron Paul, 9 percent

Mike Huckabee, 7 percent

___

OF INTEREST:

Romney, former governor of next-door Massachusetts and a big ad spender in New Hampshire, is ahead among most categories of Republicans. He and Huckabee are about even among white evangelicals, but these voters make up less than one-fifth of New Hampshire Republicans, a much smaller share than in Iowa or South Carolina. Romney gets more than 10 times the support Huckabee does from non-evangelicals in the state. Two in three New Hampshire Republicans want the GOP's candidate to move away from President Bush's policies _ compared with about half in Iowa and South Carolina. They are also more critical of the Iraq war and more supportive of gay marriage than Republicans in those two states.

___

The telephone poll, done by The Associated Press and the Pew Research Center, was conducted Nov. 7-25 and involved interviews with 446 likely Republican voters in New Hampshire. It had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 5.5 percentage points.
