Paul On The Rise... Thompson On The Slide

Some good news out of New Hampshire for Ron Paul:

Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson has skidded into sixth place in a CNN/WMUR poll of likely Republican voters in New Hampshire, edged out by ex-Libertarian and anti-war Rep. Ron Paul and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
...
But the former star of the television drama "Law and Order" has trailed the GOP front-runners in early voting states since entering the race in August, and his support in New Hampshire dropped from 13 percent in a September poll to 4 percent in November's survey.

By contrast, Romney's support grew from 25 percent to 33 percent over the same period; McCain held steady at 18 percent; and Giuliani dipped from 24 to 16 percent.

Meanwhile, the percentage of support for Paul grew from 4 percent to 8 percent, putting him fourth among the GOP contenders in the Granite State.

Ron Paul doubles his support, while Thompson is at 25% of where he was two months ago.  Ouch.  Interesting too is that Giuliani lost significant ground (about 1/3) and that Romney is up by 25% over where he was last time the poll was taken.  The fact that Romney is doing well among Republicans scares the crap out of me.  He's another big government Republican, and should be feared... and yet he's actually been able to take the boondoggle health insurance plan in Massachusetts, and list that as a proud accomplishment.  It boggles the mind.
