Donald Trump holds a 20-point lead in the New Hampshire Republican primary, a new CNN/WMUR poll shows.
Behind him, there's still a scrum for second place -- with support for No. 2, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, on the rise.
Trump is backed by 34% of those likely to vote in New Hampshire's February 9 GOP primary, more than double his nearest contender, Cruz, who has 14% support.

Excellent!
NH is a state that divide it’s delegates It is imoortant that we take both 1 &2 So GO CRUZ. GO TRUMP. GO TEAM
Ka-Sick is now according to one poll at 20 percent.
Since June:
Donald Trump: +23
Ted Cruz: +11
Rubio: +4
oops.. RUBE is -4 since JUNE ...lol
WOOHOO!!! GO.TRUMP.GO!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE!!!
Trump is killing it.
Trump +2
Cruz +8
Rubio -4
Where’s the momentum for Kasich that we keep hearing about?
Its at Gravis LOL Trump ahead of KAsich 35-15
When Trump wins Iowa, his NH numbers will bump up.
Kasich at 6, down from 9 last month?
But another [dubious] poll today showed him soaring into the second spot with 20%.
Ok, I get some variation, but this is nuts.
How's this timeline? Since the debate, where Cruz got smoked, NH, NH, FL, FL, VA, MD, MN, IA, IA, IA, IA, IA, IA, NC, UT, SC have all come out (not counting national polls). Trump has increased his #s in every one except IA---where both he and Cruz dropped 3. He is 4/6 in IA, with one tie.
Put another way, Cruz now only leads in two states, in one single poll each (UT is 1 point, way inside moe). So Cruz leads outside the MOE in one poll in one state. One. Moreover, BOTH NH polls have exactly the same distance between Trump and #2; FL (both) Trump has increased his lead; NC Trump has increased his lead; VA Trump "surged" INTO the lead.
So you can play those creepy little games all you want, but a deaf, dumb, and blind man can see this handwriting on the wall.
I don’t know how these polls work (I hang up on them), but remember Democrats and Independents can vote in the GOP primary in NH.
I find it very hard to believe Cruz could finish second here.
Oh dear. Yet another crazy Trumpbot let's fly with the juvenile insults, just like Trump himself does every day.
Back on point, which is more relevant, a change in poll numbers from June to January, or the change in poll numbers from December(the most recent month) to January?
Especially since all the fighting between Trump and Cruz took place in the last month?
The December to January change is by far the most relevant, and Cruz actually went UP 8 points from December to January, while Trump was up just 2 points from the same poll in December, albeit Trump is still ahead. But as far Trump's vicious attacks against Ted Cruz over the past month is concerned, it seems to have had no effect or rather a positive effect on Ted Cruz.
But let's do it the easy way: Show me the state polls where Cruzie is leading. List them. Waiting . . . . waiting.
You are a sad individual. It must hurt to have to contort the truth like that to try and make sense of your candidate.
Waiting. Polls where Cruz leads.
