However, 65 percent of likely Democratic voters say they have not definitely decided on a candidate. Among Republicans, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney maintains the lead he has long held in New Hampshire. Sen. John McCain gained in the race for second over former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani compared to the same poll a week earlier.
