Donald Trump still has a commanding lead in New Hampshire two days ahead of the primary, according to a new Monmouth University poll released Sunday, but there's a four-way race for second place.
Trump commands 30 percent support from likely Republican primary voters in New Hampshire, the poll found. John Kasich, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz were virtually tied for second place, with 14 percent support for Kasich, 13 percent each for Rubio and Bush and 12 percent for Cruz.
Other candidates were far behind. Chris Christie had 6 percent support, Carly Fiorina had 5 percent and Ben Carson had 4 percent.
On the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders led Hillary Clinton by 10 points, with 52 percent support for Sanders and 42 percent for Clinton. The margin of error for both parties was plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
The results on the GOP side were broadly in line with averages of recent polling in New Hampshire, with Bush and Kasich doing a little better they perform in the averages and Rubio doing a little worse. Bush was at 9 percent in the RealClearPolitics polling average and in the FiveThirtyEight weighted polling average. Kasich was at 12 percent in both averages, and Rubio was at 16 percent.

Wonder how Hillary is going to win this one? More coins?
Looks like he's dropping out.

If you don’t vote for Ted Cruz, then you hate Jesus and America.
In before the “Bububut Ted won the debaaaate!”
If Marco Rubot tanks, GOPe and Fox News still hoping Bush or Kasich survive as the elitists’ choice.
There is going to be a lot of Cruz and Jesus haters in your way of thinking.
LOL!!!! Yeah. You probably don't separate your recycling, call your mom, or signal before changing lanes either.
What’s wrong with Kasich? He’s 5 or 6 years younger than Trump but he looks like an old lady with a dowager’s hump.
Thanks for the ping!
This kind of comment is precisely why conservatives lose. Youd think it would only be posted by a troll. But unfortunately we have low information people on our side also.
I’m thinking it was sarcasm. I hope that was sarcasm!
Maybe he was a partier, in his younger days/previous life? He does look worse for wear. Genetics?
Most original Rubio support is evangelical pro-life conservative. They are likely to go for Cruz as he is now the viable pro-life candidate.
I myself was on the fence between Cruz and Rubio for a while before realizing Cruz was the best, despite liking Rubio better on immigration.
lol
