The New Hampshire Republican primary of 2012 may be a competitive race after all. In a shocking new Suffolk University/7NEWS poll released on Sunday, Ron Paul surged to 20 percent while Romney dropped to 35 percent.
The differential between the two candidates has now shrunk to 15 percentage points.
