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.
Cruz or lose.
By odd coincidence, 21% is equal to the percentage of votes he will secure in a race against his separated-at-birth siamese twinster, cankles.
I must have posted 100 times, that same thought that there are too many candidates again in 2016. Conservatives will keep losing unless they field just one candidate. Voters are increasingly becoming more liberal. Just look at the poll numbers year after year on gay marriage.
In 2012, Santorum and Newt fought to the bitter end, so why blame the GOPe for fielding just one candidate (Romney) and winning?
In NH Cruz is losing.
I will bet my money on Cancles if the nominee is Jeb Bush. He can not energize the base.
New Hampshire isn’t as conservative as many other states. Jeanne Shaheen is a perfect example of that.
COmpletely agree about NH. However if senator Cruz wants to win nomination, he needs to win somewhere in the first 6 primaries, the 6th primary is in SC.
He’s a conservative. It’s an uphill climb, particularly since most, if not all of the other candidates are pandering to the moderates and RINOs.
21% for Jeb Bush, 79% against.
That is not a logical conclusion. Senator Cruz is at 4%. That does NOT mean 96% are against the senator.
NH jumped the relevancy shark when they started having hissy fits if they were not first. It is an open primary with (same day registration?) which has a long history of ballot stuffing.
NH Jump the Shark.
we should just call NH the shark jump state.
It’s money...the ‘first in the nation’ status brings a lot of media and candidate staffs to the state. The state cashes in on the 9% meal, lodging, and car rental tax. They wouldn’t collect near as much if the Red Hampshire primary were held in April or May.
lol. Lots a losing it would appear.
That would be our loss.
Not mine. I don’t find him very effective. I want a worker and that my FRiend is Walker.
Good for you.
Thanks. Best of luck to you too on Cruz. I have no doubt that the best one will win. Walker still hasn’t announced yet so he has been continuing his work with the state until June 30th so I see him announcing (if he does) in mid-July. In all seriousness, I think Cruz announced way too early. He should have waited until either right before Walker or three weeks after Walker.
We’ll see what happens. While I fully support Cruz, I could vote for Walker, were he to be the Republican presidential candidate. I’ve voted in every presidential election from the time I was eligible, but there are some candidates this time around that might cause me to refrain.
If governor Walker is among the top 5 contenders, you betcha I will vote for him in primary. In general, I will certainly vote for him. As you said in your tagline, Walker has actually accomplished converting conservative agenda into laws. On the other hand senators running in 2016 have absolutely nothing to show in terms of any conservative bills becoming a law. Heck they can’t even get the senate republicans to go along on their proposals.
