Nah, I’m just kidding. This is an outlier. Isn’t it? Carly Fiorina ahead of Chris Christie and Ted Cruz in New Hampshire? C’mon, I … can totally believe that, actually, given the state’s fondness for outsiders and “mavericks. In fact, for a supposed outlier, the only number in this poll that’s strikingly out of sync with other recent polls of New Hampshire is Jeb’s. He’s fully 10 points higher than he was in Bloomberg’s poll of the state last month. Maybe not coincidentally, the other noticeable gainer is Donald Trump, who was at five points two months ago in a WMUR poll, then at eight points in Bloomberg’s poll in May, and now at 12 points, good for fourth place right behind Scott Walker and Rand Paul.
I care about this if the voting was rigged.
Bush has name recognition. It is between Bush, Walker, Rubio, maybe Paul, Trump, and Cruz.(big maybe). Everyone else is a wanker for the nomination. Too bad that there wasn’t someone with the surnames of George or Herbert in the the race.
Crossover Dems will vote for Jeb.
Once again, a poll didn’t ask me.
I think the story here is pretty clear. All the various candidates in the race are doing the job they were put there for.
They have been brought in by the busload to make sure some of them stick onto enough voters to allow Jeb frontrunner status and victory in NH.
Sort of their own “Operation Chaos” in reverse.
how about just doing an end run around the media and the effete elites and just state NH is NOT RELAVANT or any real measure of a popularity.
NH is no longer meaningful.
NH has jumped the shark.
I won’t vote for Bush.
The primary process is rigged.
Yes, I agree, at this stage it is mainly name recognition derived polls. However the Bushes had/have a home in Kennebunkport, which could help Jeb Bush in NH.
Not surprising as Juan Elismo is a Liberal Republican.
Forget it Jake, its NH.
Looks like Carly Fiorina will be included in the first debate (top 10 only) on Fox. I can’t wait to hear her zingers directed at Hillary.
Sampling Bias favoring Amnesty Jeb. Undersamples Independents and Rats. Oversamples Republicans.

I stumbled across a NH based twitter account today claiming to be “The Real Tea Party” that was pimping Jeb Bush as the real conservative in the race.
They were getting beat on from all sides for making such an absurd claim.
Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, NH was a freedom loving state, now it is a suburb of the peoples republic of massachusetts.
You are right, what is the last time NH picked the nominee?
And it’s not just NH. Once upon a time Ronald Reagan was electable in statewide elections in California. And where I spent most of my life, Illinois once elected conservative republicans like Sen Dirksen. Now it is a disaster state overrun by liberals, and I left many years ago.
