New shows Mitt Romney cruising in New Hampshire, with nearly quadruple the support of Jon Huntsman, the GOP candidate in third place. Wait, why鈥檇 you skip to the third place guy? Who鈥檚 in second?

Texas Congressman Ron Paul, of course.

Even though Huntsman and Paul both gained the same amount (six percentage points) since the , and Paul has 14 percent support to Huntsman鈥檚 10 percent, Decoder isn鈥檛 seeing any media love being thrown Paul鈥檚 way this morning.

This, despite the fact that the canned, ready-to-be-quoted bit from the Suffolk press release gives equal billing to Paul鈥檚 improvement alongside Huntsman鈥檚.

鈥淢itt Romney is saying 鈥榞et out of my back yard鈥� and making New Hampshire his strong firewall despite showing some weakness in the other states鈥� early primaries,鈥� said David Paleologos, director of Suffolk University鈥檚 Political Research Center. 鈥�The anti-Romney candidate at this point could be either Ron Paul, who has polled consistently over the past year, or Jon Huntsman, whose numbers are really growing in the Granite State.鈥�

Decoder would also point out: Among second-choice candidates - meaning if your first-choice candidate were to drop out, who would you then support? - Romney edges Perry at 21 percent to 20 percent, followed by鈥� you guessed it, Ron Paul at 9 percent.

One reason Huntsman鈥檚 bump in New Hampshire may be attracting more attention: because it鈥檚 pretty much the first real movement for him in any poll anywhere (see to see his historical polls, which have all been sub-six percent). And it comes amid a plethora of signs that Huntsman鈥檚 campaign has been floundering. (Decoder recently wondered if .)

Huntsman has now and brought them to the Granite State. As such, we may have to wait for the next poll to see whether this one is an aberration or if Huntsman鈥檚 New-Hampshire-or-bust strategy is actually paying off.

Still, as , the 鈥淩on Paul can鈥檛 get no respect鈥� theme isn鈥檛 all campaign spin.
