Interesting tidbits from NH poll showing Walker Crashing and Kasich Climbing

Franklin Pierce/Boston Herald just came out with a NH poll which was interesting:

Trump is leading by a bit, followed by Jeb and surprisingly by Kasich and Cruz.  Kasich certainly showed more charisma at the debate than Jeb, I wonder if there is a chance that the establishment decides to go with him instead at some point?  Walker's support has completely collapsed and Paul's has also gone down dramatically.  Carly Fiorina had a nice jump and also looks like she has very high favorables with very few people hating her:

Carson, Fiorina, Kasich and Rubio all have very low very unfavorables.  Trump on the other hand has more people that hate him than love him, which I hope means he can't go up much further in the polls.  The following chart though really helps cement the idea not to trust any of these polls at this point, at least on voter preference:

Obviously Graham and Perry are outliers as they don't have much support to begin with and neither will likely be able to last until NH anyway.  The lesson though is that switching is highly likely between now and the NH primary so take all these numbers with a grain of salt.  Carly Fiorina looks like she should be especially focused on cementing her support following her little boomlet.  Honestly, if I was asked the same question I would also answer that I could change my mind.  It's still very early in the process and I think it is important for conservatives to back one candidate at some point so our vote doesn't get split and we don't end up with someone we just can't stomach at all.

Paul is finished.

Why should we give a flip about New Hampshire for crying out loud?

[VanDeKoik]

Because Walker brings nothing in the way of fire to the race. He was basically the generic conservative candidate that was going to crash the minute anyone with some passion got going.

Did you know John’s farther was a postman?

Even my kids think him bringing that up all the time is dumb. My kids just call him Mr. Postman

I am no Donald Trump cheerleader, but Scott Walker’s limp slapping at him after the debate turned me right off.

I know Walker did good for his home state, but I watched the debate online and was surprised at how un-fired up he sounded.
Mr Rogers sort of guy (?)
Kasich: Yes, the “My Dad Was A Postman” is worn out.
He is a career politician and he is not like us.
I don’t have (the best) tax payer funded Medical Care + Health Insurance, nor a chauffeur, nor a private jet, or a tax payer funded bunker to go to when the SHTF.
Elites trying to act like they are just like us.

I was pro-Walker before the debate but he really needs a debate coach, he just didn’t inspire. Usually Republican candidates need a mulligan election cycle, he could be good later on in his career, potentially.

Rubio does the maid/bartender thing repeatedly with his parents as well. It does help change the GOP brand of just rich folks so I don’t mind it so much.

I read somewhere that he may not have the fund to run a Presidential and a Senate campaign at the same time. Hopefully he chooses to stay in the Senate where I do believe he adds value.

New Hampshire has always had a soft spot for RINOs compounded by the fact that Democrats can and do vote in the primary. There’s more than one reason that McCain and Romney easily won here.

[TexasFreeper2009]

The sodomites and their defenders seem to love Kaisic.

I cant personally figure out what he is even doing in the Republican party.

[Mouton]

I think we need a count on the number of Massholes voting in this poll.

[9YearLurker]

The same RINO party operatives who long backed McCain (and I think in 2012 went for Huntsman) have signed on for Kasich. Also, I think he may have run some ads there.

But GOP-lite definitely prevails up in NH. They are libertarian leaning some, but not at all of the religious right up there.

He’s pretty boring. He can try to be more fiery but you are who you are, as Tim Pawlenty demonstrated.

[dfwgator]

You think Trump is liberal, he’s got nothing on Kasich.

[tioga]

Kasich is old and old news. I’ve moved on. Sad Walker hasn’t got the charisma to flare up a bit. Though Cruz is my guy, I am sticking with him.

[libertarian neocon]

At least according to Nate Silver, he’s basically just another Jeb (yes I know Nate Silver is a liberal but I think he does try to be non-partisan, sometimes). Check out the handy dandy chart

Rut Rho! Sad singing and slow walking at Cincinnatus Wife’s house tonight. :-)

I can”t figure it out. I mean Kasich is not going to win. Who will get his votes later? Bush or Bernie?
