Donald Trump retains a substantial lead over the rest of the Republican presidential field in the final CNN/WMUR tracking poll in New Hampshire ahead of Tuesday's primary.
Trump nabs 31 percent support in the survey released Monday evening, down 2 points from the same poll conducted last week but inside its margin of error.
Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) takes 17 percent in the survey, which was conducted Thursday through Monday and included the Republican debate over the weekend. Rubio, who emerged as an establishment favorite from last week's Iowa caucus, struggled in the face of a barrage of attacks from rival New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in that debate.
CNN said that it couldn't produce a separate estimate of support due to a small post-debate sample size, but reported that interviews in the two days after the Saturday debate "found no drop in support for Rubio" and instead "a slimmer margin between Trump and Rubio."

Trump should drop out, let Rubio win and Cruz make a strong 2nd or 3rd in his growing campaign.
How dumb are we to elect all career politicians? They do not worry about ordinary Americans with few dollars. Their first duty is to service their ultra rich donors.
Despite Cruz^s attacks on his party^s donor class and establishment, the Texas senator Ted Cruz^s insurgent GOP campaign has received $37 million from just four donors the Wilks family of Cisco, Texas (the No. 1 donor on POLITICO^s list), New York hedge fund tycoon Bob Mercer (No. 2), Texas energy investor Toby Neugebauer (No. 4) and Illinois manufacturing moguls Dick and Liz Uihlein.
I guess the cheap labor express is here to stay. Deal with it!
“Trump leads Rubio on eve of primary”
They needed to conduct a poll to figure that out?
Poll conducted before debate.
Trump will finish a few points higher.
The Bubble Boy will finish lower.

@realDonaldTrump
He is the only remaining candidate taking votes away from potential conservative winners.
Everyone else can stay in and split the GOPe vote.
“Donald Trump retains a substantial lead over the rest of the Republican presidential field....”
Hey Faux News..... BITE ME.
How many delegates do the winners get?
Is this primary winner take all?
I can’t see the worth of NH primary.
Somebody clue me in, please
All elections/caucus up to and including Super Tuesday are proportional, from what I’ve read on FR.
You are right, don’t give up. Get the word out, it’s open borders or Donald Trump, no other choice.
If Trump hadn’t been in the race we wouldn’t have any choice. Open borders has monopoly, any candidate you pick is exactly like the one next to them.
Um, Cruz should drop out and let Trump whip the GOPe.
It’s a swing state. “Moderate” Rubio with his full-scale war with Russia & amnesty is a crazy candidate for the national GOP. Rubio loses and he’s not even a good RINO candidate.
Notice they mention that Trump was “down” 2 points from last week, but don’t tell you how far down Cruz or Rubio were. (I think it was one each). Of course, it’s all meaningless because . . . it’s POLLS.
We saw last week what those are worth.
Down goes Cruz, down goes Cruz, down goes Cruz.

Good grief that is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. Trump won Iowa except Cruz cheated and now will win New Hampshire by 20+ percent. He is winning South Carolina, Nevada and Alabama to name a few states that he has double digit wins. And Trump needs to drop out. If anyone should drop out it is Cruz who has been the only cheater in the group and doesn't deserve to be President.
He's a smooth talking dud.
A partial term in the US Senate hardly makes Cruz a “career politician.”
Can’t be true. Fox News sez the “debate didn’t hurt Rubio” and he is rising like a rocket with Bush and Kasich right behind. Trump, the heartless Capitalist who throws women into the street and eats children, is fading fast.
