Donald Trump continues to lead the Republican presidential pack in New Hampshire by a wide margin, but Sen. Marco Rubio's surge to second place nearly disappeared in a tracking poll released by the University of Massachusetts Lowell on Monday.
Trump leads his competitors by 21 points, earning 34 percent support from likely Republican primary voters. The real estate mogul's support in the tracking poll has dropped 4 percentage points since the beginning of last week.
After jumping to second place in the tracking poll with 15 percent support at the end of last week, Rubio has dropped by 2 percentage points since Friday, earning 13 percent support in the Monday poll.
The Florida senator tied for second place with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who dropped one point since Friday in the UMass tracking poll.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Ohio Gov. John Kasich both earned 10 percent support in the poll released on Monday...

Rubio is a knee slapping , belly laugh, joke who is total history. The establishment went back this morning to Jeb “Common Core” “they sneak into our country to love us” bush.
Now we set our sites on Trump.
By the way, I hope Cruz does finish second. But this poll is inflated to make it look like Trump in dropping when the real numbers come in. Don’t take this poll as anything but BS.
[Now we set our sites on Trump]
What kind of sights (not ‘sites’) are you going to set on Trump?
The sight of Trump rising and becoming the nominee while Cruz continues his efforts to lie and cheat his way to a losing nomination??
There are millions of Americans who ...DEFLECT...you with their prayers
It looks like the media is actually going to have to get out there in the snow
and drag Rubio across the finish line if they want him to come in second.
That’s funny. But seeing how Ted Cruz takes the majority of the Christian vote...your prayers are no match for our prayers :oP
Amen!
This is actually an ouch....for The Rube.....to be tied with CRuz. His poor debate cast him down a few pegs.
I chose to counter your post....
because
your words
‘NOW WE SET OUR SITES ON TRUMP’
....gives me absolute chills
ABSOLUTE CHILLS......your words are scary
I don’t think any of us are going to be happy with number 2. I think it will be Kasich. These are the voters who voted for Ron Paul and Rand Paul.
These are the voters who voted for McCain in 2000 and 2008. Luckily we didn’t listen to them in 2000.
Scratch a Trumpster, find a conspiracy theorist who has no evidence to back up his theories.
Prayers aside, winning is in the vote counting. Evangelicals are vocal on platform committees and make platforms that are difficult to sell, sway primaries, and then don’t show up on the big day to vote. In fact, according to Heritage Fdn., only 25% of evangelicals show up on Election Day. Nobody is ever perfect enough. So if it isn’t Ted “Elmer Gantry” Cruz, or Rev. Mike Huckabee, or St. Santorum, will this be another year of Christian no-show’s? As Phyllis Schlafly said, “Jesus isn’t on the ballot this time. Who’s your SECOND choice?” William F.Buckley said he always voted, and he just picked the most conservative candidate on the ballot. That is the way to win elections and get a seat at the table.
Ted Cruz is rebuilding the Reagan Coalition. He is courting the evangelical vote, the liberty vote, the national security vote, the Reagan democrat vote, etc. If he is successful, he won’t need many of the votes the establishment candidates have to compete for, and he won’t have to move to the “mushy middle” to get elected.
That’s why I am voting for Ted Cruz 2016!
There a millions of evangelicals to turn out that never voted because they had no candidate. An extra 5 million of them in Nov. is far above the margin of RAT vote fraud capacity and the recipe for LANDSLIDE.
Interestingly, Iowa does not have a higher percentage of evangelicals than the national average. However, they do turn out at a much higher rate than average, at least for Iowa GOP caucuses. So there is some way to motivate them, if it can be repeated elsewhere.
I wouldn’t mind being for Trump if I though he was really pro-life and would name Thomases to the Supreme Court.
