The Saturday morning Rasmussen Report has Obama leading Clinton by ten points in New Hampshire, but the favorable/unfavorable numbers are even better news:

Eighty percent (80%) of Obama voters say they are certain they will vote for him. Seventy-three percent (73%) of Clinton voters say the same along with 64% of Edwards supporters.

Eighty-five percent (85%) of Likely Primary Voters have a favorable opinion of Obama. Seventy-eight percent (78%) say the same about Edwards and 69% offer a positive assessment of Clinton.

Just 48% of Obama supporters have a favorable opinion of Clinton. Fifty-one percent (51%) have the opposite opinion including 22% with a Very Unfavorable opinion of the former First Lady. At the same time, 75% of Clinton supporters have a favorable opinion of Obama.
I think we're certain to see a "Comeback Kid" narrative asserted from the Clinton camp with just about any result in New Hampshire, but these are about the most positive numbers for the Obama campaign that could be hoped for, and I continue to think that after he wins New Hampshire there's no stopping him.
