Cruz’s net favorables have gone from +14 in November to +33 now, the best of anyone in the field. And this isn’t just a “New Hampshire thingâ€; as I noted on Friday, it’s true nationally among Republicans as well.

So now the GOPe has a candidate tied with Cruz for second-yipeee!(/s!)
Playing right into GOPe hands-nice going Trump(/s).
There's a reason why the GOPe has not yet brought out the heavy artillery (certain things they could use against Trump-that would likely knock him down, if not out).
They want to bring up one of their candidates into second- then they will go all in against him.
He's (Trump) walking right into it.
Yes, exactly, and have you ever seen Dondi and Marco Rubio in the same place?
The super PAC supporting Ohio Gov. John Kasich is planning to spend $11.5 million on television ads in New Hampshire through the February 9 primary, laying down a clear marker in a state Kasich has said is crucial to his campaign's success. The group "New Day for America" reserved $5 million in airtime in New Hampshire and Boston media markets from November through the primary. That's on top of the $6.5 million the group has already bought on-air from July through October.
Nearly $12 million! In a single state. That does not include other costs like staff, travel and lodging. This is versus $2.5 million Trump has spent nationwide, INCLUSIVE of travel.
Fugeddabouddit.
TRUMP/CRUZ 2016!
With good reason. Polling in New Hampshire is so intensive now that we have been getting multiple polling calls every day since November, most of which we are now blocking.
So anybody answering polls is either picking one to answer and ignoring the rest, or they are responding to a couple of polls a day. When we do respond, which is rare, we invariably just select some random name, or whatever pops into our minds at the moment since most of the polls are robocalls.
I'm pretty dubious about Kasich getting any traction among Republicans, but he may have some liberal leaning independents planning to take a Republican ballot because the Sanders/Clinton race isn't interesting to them.
Kasich has some campaign operations going, apparently they have people placing calls seeking support. However I doubt most voters even know who he is.
There’s a big goo-goo vote among NH Republicans. Kasich is the logical choice for them.
A lot of these polls are measuring registered Republicans, but the primary is open and Trump is very very popular with working class Democrats (the old meaning of working class, i.e. they have jobs).
Color me ignorant but what does that mean?
“Yes, exactly, and have you ever seen Dondi and Marco Rubio in the same place?”
Good point.
Too funny, thanks.

They (Iowa) have no business being the first primary/caucus. How about a tru conservative state.
why is kasich stil on the main debate stage? He has less support than Rand Paul
Yeah, it’s a good one. Good movie too (based on the real undercover guy).
