After trailing Mitt Romney in the Iowa caucuses by just eight votes, here’s some good news to start Rick Santorum’s day: he is gaining traction in New Hampshire. According to a CNN/ORC International poll of 554 likely Republican voters in New Hampshire, Santorum’s support has doubled from 5 percent to 10 percent. Mitt Romney’s numbers remained unchanged at 47 percent. Newt Gingrich, meanwhile, who came in fourth in Iowa, said he would go after Romney as they head to the Granite State, where the nation’s first primary will take place next Tuesday. Gingrich kicked off his New Hampshire blitz with a full-page ad in the Manchester Union Leader, the newspaper that endorsed him in November.
