OF INTEREST: The poll shows that Romney and Clinton remain the front-runners in New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation presidential primary, but they have yet to seal it. Just 16 percent of Republicans and 24 percent of Democrats said they've "definitely decided" whom to support. The poll shows Clinton with strong support on questions of experience and dealing with terrorism, but when asked who is "most trustworthy," 26 percent said Obama, compared to 19 percent each for Clinton and Edwards. Romney has vulnerable spots, as well. Thirty-four percent of Republicans said Giuliani is the "strongest leader," compared to 26 percent for Romney, the former Massachusetts governor. And Romney trailed McCain and Giuliani on the question of which candidate is best able to deal with terrorism.
