For the record, here's a poll from just before the New Hampshire debate. It will be interesting to see how the debate changed things.

WSJ/NBC poll wrote:
Among all poll respondents, 45% said they would probably vote to re-elect Mr. Obama, while 40% said they would choose a Republican. Against specific GOP contenders, the president's lead widened. Mr. Obama leads Mr. Romney 49% to 43%; he topped Mr. Pawlenty 50% to 37%.

so for now Mitt is the best bet but not a good bet.

But what does it mean for the Republicans that Michele Bachmann won the debate, by virtue of not drooling on herself, giggling uncontrollably and pooping her pants on stage? Does this help or hurt Romney?

It's only liberal sources who think Bachmann won the debate - presumably because her performance is what liberals think make for a good president.

I'm just telling it like it is. It's mostly liberal sources that think Bachmann won the debate. Conservatives, who didn't expect Bachmann to fall flat on her face, weren't surprised at her performance and didn't see it as anything special compared to the others.
