Donald Trump has surged to the lead in the New Hampshire GOP presidential primary and virtually erased Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s advantage in the Iowa caucuses, according to new NBC News/Marist polls released Sunday.
In Iowa, Walker still tops the field with 19 percent, the poll shows — only two points ahead of Trump, who garners 17 percent. Interviews for the poll began on July 14 — the day after the Walker campaign’s launch event in Wisconsin. The only other candidate in double digits is former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, at 12 percent.
Those lagging behind include a number of candidates banking on strong finishes in Iowa. Neurosurgeon Ben Carson is in fourth place, at 8 percent, followed by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee at 7 percent, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul at 5 percent, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz at 4 percent and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio at 4 percent.

No surprise at all.
Trump is the only one saying what the people want to hear. The rest are just politicians with their oily speeches who try to lull you with their crap.
But I heard republican pundits saying Trump can’t win in individual states. One of Bush-43’s spokesman said that on Hannity TV. He said Trump may be leading in national polls based on only name recognition, but he will lose in ALL individual states!
Fox is trying to bury Trump.
Mark my words, all you who are falling for Trumps act are going to regret it.
I have no idea what is going on here. Either FR has been invaded by libs, Trump has hired minions to flood conservative message boards, or I am in the twilight zone.
Because NOTHING else makes any sense!
Why are so many so desperate to win that they would push this obvious liberal fraud on us? Do you not understand or grasp that Trump will turn on us once elected? You DO understand that right? There is a good reason he wont fill in the details on ANYTHING, because the devil is in the details and the details are the parts he knows we wont like, so he is leaving those out.
At least in my case, I want Trump to destroy the GOPe to clear the way for Cruz.
Someone ought tell that to the folks in New Hampshire.
George Will is insufferable.
Why do you think Trump would be any worse than what we have now?
Yes, it could be MUCH worse. Things are near so bad, that they cant get worse.
My gut is screaming dont trust him.
The way I see it, we’re down by 6 with a half minute to go and it’s fourth and 25....Time for a Hail Mary, and Trump is the Hail Mary.
2008-2010
First they said they couldn’t do anything because they didn’t have the Presidency, House or Senate.
2010-2014
Then they said they couldn’t do anything because Harry Reid was blocking everything in the Senate.
2014-2016
Then they said they couldn’t do anything until the 2016 elections because Obama would veto.
2016-2018
Now they are saying they won’t be able to do anything even with a Republican President because too many Senate seats are up for grabs in 2018.
They promised us they would defund Obamacare. All talk, no action. They said they would reduce regulations on small businesses. All talk, more speeches, no action.
Republicans control purse strings for 5 years through control of the House. What have they done? All talk, no action!
I like Trumps straight talk. As to where he really stands I will just wait and see. I like Cruz the best.
Why are you so stupid?
One can hope.
But I am sick of Trump. The only thing Trump is out to promote is Trump. He is distracting from the real candidates in the race like Cruz. Trump is a clown and the longer he stays in this race, the more he will damage conservatives.
Ted Cruz has been trailblazing ever since he came on the scene and these blind supporters of Trump don’t bat an eye. Then the Donald parachutes in and makes some Tancredo-like comments on illegal immigration and WHOA here is the new Mr. Conservative. Despite all of Trump’s previous comments, despite the fact he is to the left on many issues such as Health Care, his supporters are giving him a pass on everything just because he talks tough.
Everyday that goes by where Trump doesn’t exit the race and endorse Cruz damages the conservative cause. Cruz is the real deal and anybody that can’t figure that out should forego their voting rights because if they can’t see Cruz is the most solid conservative since Reagan, they’ll never get it.
I’ve already made the decision if Trump somehow gets the nomination, I’m staying home. I refuse to vote for another liberal Republican.
And just because Trump is fighting the GOPe doesn’t make Trump a “good guy”. What does the GOPe have that Trump wants? Power. Trump wants their power. And do you think he’d give that power back to the conservative base because if you believe that I have some swampland I’d like to sell you. Trump will backstab whomever based on what Trump wants, not what the people want.
Debt Ceiling Vote? You watch a President Trump bully the Tea Party caucus into voting for the Debt Ceiling raise, it’s a given.
Amnesty? You watch President Trump start sounding like Perry when it comes to dealing with those “productive illegals and good people in the country illegaly” regarding the right to stay here and that we’ll be “heartless” if we don’t let them stay.
Health Care? Yeah, President Trump would support repeal of Obamacare even though he’s on record as supporting Universal Health Care. And even if he were in favor of repealing it he’ll try to shove a terrible replacement down the throats of people.
Supreme Court? At best there will be more Anthony Kennedy’s on the bench and no reign in of the out of control SCOTUS but what do you expect from a guy that isn’t up to speed on the US Constitution when he refers to McConnell as “Speaker”?
Trump is not a conservative. Ted Cruz is. I’m voting for Cruz.
It looks like Trump is going to win it all! Go Trump!
People aren’t seeing here one of the best things about this is that Jeb Bush is being defeated here. the liberal news media had it all set up for Jeb Bush to be the GOP nominee. But Trump has ruined that plan by the media. You all do know that it was the media that Install Barack Obama on us right?
I don’t know what Trump will do.
We know what Jeb will do.
