Romney leads in New Hampshire- and among likely U.S. voters

Rasmussen's latest New Hampshire Primary poll has Romney up ten points over Gingrich.

Romney has 32% to Newt's 22%. Ron Paul is third with 18%. Jon Huntsman is fourth, with 10%.

Meanwhile, another Rasmussen poll shows pretty much what I've been saying on this blog: Mitt Romney is simply a much stronger candidate for the general election than Gingrich or any of the others (with the possible exception of Huntsman).

According to the poll, 53% of likely U.S. voters have an at least somewhat favorable opinion of Romney, compared to 38% with a negative one.  For quite a while, the polls have shown Gingrich and the others- including President Obama- with unfavorable ratings higher than their favorable ones by various margins.

If the GOP nominates Gingrich, it really ought to change its symbol from the elephant to the lemming.
