Among likely Republican primary voters, former Florida Gov. Bush picked up 14 percent, while the billionaire real-estate mogul Trump grabbed 11 percent. Most respondents—29 percent—are undecided.

NH is John Ellis Bush's best chance to win. He will lose Iowa. In the following 4 primaries in CO, UT, NV & SC which follow NH, he JEB must win at least 2 to claim front runner status.

I. Will. Not. Vote. For. Jeb. Bush.

Ever.

(But that Means Hillary will win!!1!!!)

Fine, at least we have enemy out in front instead of in the walls.

I love these titles.

Did anyone think they would be fair and non-biased?

Like this:

Career politician Florida Gov. Bush vs billionaire real-estate mogul Trump?

John Ellis has the least chance of getting my vote in the primaries. I can not stomach his amnesty for illegals agenda.

In general, I will have to do intensive analysis between John Ellis and his democrat opponent.

[Pikachu_Dad]

Nope, the replacement for H.... sanders!

[entropy12]

Great great point. And of course the correct answer is “NEVER”.

[Mr. K]

at 14% you are not “leading” anything

This is how they forced “Frontrunner” Mitt on us... keep claiming he is in the lead when he never got over 27% in early primaries - and LOST to a successive series of candidates who they then trashed- Newt kicked his ass royally.

Its not good when 86% want someone else.

Ellis will lose to Hillary.

However, Trump may be a wild enough change to have a chance to win swing voters.

In the same way swing voters went for zero in 2008, despite no experience and Reverend Wright.

It could happen.

[entropy12]

and...29% have not made up their minds. That said, if I was a candidate, I would prefer to be in the “lead” rather than 4th or 5th or last.

[RIghtwardHo]

Like I said ... the “Plurality Primaries” are going to get Jebby nominated.

WAY too many running on the GOP side.

[entropy12]

I am sure you are correct. If John Ellis Bush wins nomination, I will have to search for stronger whiskey during general election.

I love how this phony GOP primary system works!

Like NH represents the GOP Party grassroots.

[CatherineofAragon]

Be thankful. They could have told the real truth and made it, “Liberal anti-gun, private property-grabbing, pro-universal healthcare,pro-tax increase clown.”

[cripplecreek]

Blue Hampshire always goes for the most liberal.

[fortheDeclaration]

Frankly, I think this could be the lowest turnout ever for a Presidential election.

Conservatives are staying home.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

I live in MA. NH has been overrun by us. Southern NH is a Boston suburb. So this poll isn’t reading conservatives.

[longfellow]

Were they the only two running?

[Eddie01]

Fathers day 2015. My dad and three sisters with fans show up. They all want to know what I think about Trump. I told them all what Obama was in 2008. They trust me now. Finally.

[entropy12]

The problem is not too many running. The problem is too many conservatives running. That will split the vote and help JEB. There is no one running who is more “moderate” than JEB. Which means he does not have to split moderate voters.

If only ONE opponents remains after SC primary, JEB has no chance. Otherwise rinse and repeat of 2012.

[Hugin]

You say that like “billionaire real-estate mogul” is a bad thing.
