CONCORD, New Hampshire - October 7, 2011 - Mitt Romney holds a big lead and Herman Cain continues to surge, according to a survey of New Hampshire voters released Friday afternoon.

The latest WMUR Granite State poll shows Romney solidly in first place with 37% support, followed by Cain, who is in second place with 12%, and Ron Paul, who captured 9%. Jon Huntsman is in fourth place with 8%.

The New Hampshire survey is the latest to report an uptick in support for Cain after his upset victory at Florida’s Presidency 5 straw poll - and a decline in the fortunes of Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann.

Perry and Newt Gingrich each took 4% of the vote. Bachmann and Rick Santorum took 2% each.

Long shots Gary Johnson and Buddy Roemer each had less than 1%.

Huntsman - who has staked his hopes in New Hampshire - and Cain made the biggest gains in the poll. Both Huntsman and Cain had just 2% in WMUR’s July survey.

Bachmann saw the biggest dip in her numbers, with her support dropping 10 points since July, from 12% to 2%.

The poll revealed that the GOP race for the first-in-the-nation primary state remains fluid. Just as in previous surveys, there is still a huge bloc of undecided voters.

Only 11% of those surveyed have definitely decided for whom they will vote. Sixty-eight percent say they are still undecided.

The survey of 345 likely GOP voters was conducted Sept. 26-Oct. 6 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 5.3 percentage points.
