Subject: Voters with a Negative Opinion of Bush Broke for McCain 2-1

President Bush "had a powerful effect" on New Hampshire's Republican
primary. Roughly half of GOP voters "had a negative opinion of the Bush
administration, and those voters significantly went for Arizona Sen.
John McCain by nearly a 2-to-1 margin." Of those with a "positive
opinion of the administration," 37 percent voted for Mitt Romney.
