Front-runner Donald Trump holds a nearly 10 percentage point lead over his rivals in New Hampshire’s Republican primary race, but Senator Marco Rubio is closing the gap in the final days, according to a new poll released Friday.
Twenty-nine percent of voters surveyed said they backed Trump, and Rubio of Florida took second place with 19 percent. That’s the highest level of support Rubio has shown in any public survey since Trump entered the race in the summer.

The more we fracture, the easier their theft of the elections become.
And right now, there is only ONE guy in the race who they may not own. Well, two if you count Bernie Sanders.
Im flawed too but there is no perversion in my past that I can be blackmailed over today. Try to get that through your head, if Marco is a homo and there are lots of indications that he is, that means he can be blackmailed. He probably is compromised already.
I support Trump first and Cruz second. Cruz had not planned on campaigning hard in New Hampshire until the Iowa results. New Hampshire is Cruz territory the way Alabama is Sanders territory. If Cruz can fish 2nd or 3rd it will be devastating to many of the GOPe governor candidates and Rubio if Cruz finishes 2nd.
I still worry about a three way contest with Cruz, Trump and a hard GOPe candidate.
What you say about Rubio is correct. I might add he is more liberal than conservative, an open borders guy, and has a gay past, not that it matters, but could shade his court appointments.
If your scenario occurs then Ted is dead fatter the voting on March 1. He could win the SEC primary states both after that states are winner take all. The GOPe will come out for their candidate and against Cruz in the “blue” Republican states. He only hope for Cruz is to continue to keep multiple GOPe candidates in the race to split their vote.
If Cruz does not finish at least in third it will hurt him going forward. In which case he would have been better off concentrating on SC so he had plausible reason for not doing better in NH. By campaigning hard he risks the same fate as Huckabee who should have concentrated on SC instead of trying to beat MCain in Mew Hampshire. Always fight the battle on the place of your choosing if given the option.
We don’t trust him which is why we will elect Trump.
Do you know the math? If Cruz finishes at 7%, how many delegates does he have?
I would not put it past Trump to join with
Rubio if he thought it would be to his advantage.
In fact, 3 weeks ago I predicted that if Trump got the nomination he would pick Rubio as veep. You can look it up.
Why should we vote for Rubio? What has he ever done?
This is how the GOPe will fix this election. They use the polls, bump up their guy right before, steal the votes and everyone believes it because the polls said so.
They were trying this out all along with the flavor of the week.
So many jokes, so little time ...
He's a CRONY Capitalist too!
Rubio is clearly a RINO to the max!
Little “Blast from the Past”—re Rubio and friends
Conda, an immigration lawyer, was Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief domestic policy adviser. After leaving there, Conda went to work for George Soros on the editorial advisory board of the Soros publication, The International Economy Magazine.
Conda was also involved with The National Foundation for American Policy, a Newt Gingrich group. Don’t be fooled, Newt is all about amnesty and has always been!
And where/who is CONDA now....look around the Rubio neighborhood and ‘open borders fellers”
Tonight, tonight, won’t be just any night..
Have you ever heard of the Risk Corridor provisions of obamacare? It is the bailout slush fund to the insurers. The original statute in 2010 authorized 3 years. However, once the GOP took the senate, rubio was instrumental in eliminating these bailouts to the insurers, which is why each day we hear about more insurers bailing on the exchanges.
Rubio has done more to dismantle Obamacare than any member of Congress. Look it up.
Rubio has perfect scores from the NRA, pro-life groups, ACU, free trade organizations, Heritage Action, and every other conservative group.
Do you want Rubio making Supreme Court appointments, or Hillary? Because once the judiciary is lost, our nation is toast.
Polls show Rubio has slipped back to 16% AFTER having risen to 19%
I doubt this is fixed....just more wild rumors
I would bet that you’re correct. And that would probably be a smart move.

Nether one has the logic to elect anyone both are losers.
