The Granite State holds its primaries in less a month, and Donald Trump has a commanding lead in the state, beating John Kasich by 15 points.

While Kasich has been doing poorly in both statewide, and national polling, he seems to be doing quite well in New Hampshire. His 15% gives him enough support to take at least a few of the available delegates. Donald Trump looks to take the majority of delegates, especially if Chris Christie and Ted Cruz stay below the 10% viability threshold.

Ha! You beat me by a few seconds!

Go Trump!!!

Trump needs to take Kasich out now. I’m assuming a really poor showing by Kasich in Iowa will bleed some of these numbers down.

The polls are so different from each other that I think it is best to disbelieve all of them. Trump is probably in the lead. The rest, I suspect is manipulation for the purpose of seizing debate seats.

Why is the article’s title singling out Kasich? Is isn’t even in anybody’s radar ...

[Little Bill]

They must have taken that poll in East Vermont or among the local Massholes, I see no support for that Clown in my area of NH.

This is the only poll I have seen with Kasich as number 2. I don’t doubt liberals poll well there. In this case I highly suspect this is a manipulated poll.

Not unless Kasich takes out Trump with Shaolin Kung Fu style...

[Vigilanteman]

As I recall, Jon Huntsman did pretty well in New Hampshire in 2012, even picking up a couple of delegates. He changed the entire direction of the race. < / sarcasm >

[usafa92]

I don’t disagree but I ran through an exercise the other day and unfortunately Kasich is mid teens based on an average of the last 5 or 6 polls. That said, NH was the only way to get Kasich on the main stage and he just edged Christie out in NH. So I do believe that the NH polls are reflective of the GOPe desire to keep Kasich on my he stage.

I do not get Kasich and Rubio being higher than Cruz.

Kasich looks to be an elitist Republican "Plan B" or "Plan C". The good thing is, I'm not sure he'll beat Trump in OH. Kasich won a second term as governor because the dem opposition was laughably inept.

Kasich is a total tool. I wouldn't be surprised if he is in some kind of scheme to deliver a swing state to Jeb.

Kaisch MIA from Ohio for more than one month, he is enjoying his life in New Hamshire.

He had to spend other people millions, otherwise he can’t get good money for his book.

[SharpRightTurn]

My understanding is that there have been at least two recent polls showing significant jumps for Jebbie and Mailman’s Son.

What’s with that? I just find it hard to believe either one of these jokers is getting any traction, even in NH.

You win the internet today!

Kasich has been doing fairly well in NH for awhile...there was one poll that showed Jeb in 2nd...I have not seen any other numbers like that for Jeb in NH (or anywhere, for that matter), since.

Note Trump utterly killing it with working age Americans defined either by age or income. And if you use income as a proxy for college, Trump crushing opponents there, too.
