The news for Fred Thompson just refuses to get better in New Hampshire. Not only did he come in sixth place with a paltry 4 percent in the most recent CNN/WMUR poll (PDF), but half of the state's Republicans won't even consider voting for him. When the likely Republican voters were asked about which candidate they thought could best handle issues like abortion, Iraq, illegal immigration, and the economy, Thompson didn't grab more than 4 percent of the vote on any question. We'll have analysis of the Democrats' New Hampshire numbers tomorrow.
