EXCLUSIVE POLL: Trump Holds Big Lead in NH, DeSantis Drops to Tie With Christie
NH Journal ^ | August 07, 2023 | by Michael Graham

When Donald Trump returns to New Hampshire on Tuesday, he will be greeted by a Republican base that is overwhelmingly loyal to the former president.

How loyal? In an exclusive new NHJournal/co-efficient poll, 62 percent of GOP primary voters said they would vote to make Trump president even if he were convicted of a felony. In a further display of resolve, 57 percent said they would vote to send Trump back to the White House even if he were “serving time in prison” on Election Day.

“As a pollster, I wonder if there is any other political figure in America who could generate this level of loyalty,” said co-efficient CEO Ryan Munce. “It will be difficult for any Republican to peel away these voters.”

Trump is scheduled to speak at Windham High School on Tuesday afternoon.

Trump has consistently led in both national and New Hampshire polls since his first criminal indictment, by Manhattan’s progressive prosecutor Alvin Bragg, in April. And while Trump’s topline number has softened a bit since the last NHJournal poll in mid-June, his margin over the rest of the field is as large as ever.

Trump had the support of 43 percent of NHGOP primary voters, while Gov. Ron DeSantis and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie were tied for second place with 9 percent. Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley was at seven percent, and fellow South Carolinian Sen. Tim Scott was tied with entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy at five percent.

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (4 percent) edged out former Vice President Mike Pence (3 percent).

That just tells me how ignorant the New Hampshire voters are. No way should Christie be tied with DeSantis. Desantis should be comfortably ahead in second place. Christie should just be a blip at best in the polls.

EVERY OTHER candidate is in the SINGLE DIGITS.

President Trump Holds BIG Lead in New Hampshire! https://t.co/zXJO9WQ1hU— Team Trump (Text TRUMP to 88022) (@TeamTrump) August 8, 2023

Mark, Ron was in it but "isn't in it" now because locals pay attention to "local news" and don't like how DeSantis is campaigning and prefer Trump, is that right?

Why? the only difference between them is 110lbs.

We're I running in a Republican contest or primary, and a headline said of me, “DeSantis Drops to Tie With Christie,” I would feel like I'd been kicked in the balls.

The bar is pretty low to vote in a GOP primary in New Hampshire, the state named after a breed of hogs. All you have to do is register as an independent and request a Republican ballot.

You don't even have to live there. Borrow a friend's address and have a bill sent there. It is your "proof" of residency. Yeah, those who live to the west and south of NH actually do this in pretty big numbers.

DeSantis cooked his goose when he drank the kool-aid about the 2018 Presidential election. Pence and Christie cooked theirs a long time ago.

Just the other day Sanunu was claiming that “over half of republicans in NH oppose Trump”. I guess he was lying.

One hated and one the more you get to know the more you don’t like?

As New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s term nears end, his approval rating sinks to 13 percent
https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-new-jersey-governor-chris-christie-20180109-story.html

Left office with 13% approval, can’t beat Christie? That’s a problem.

Christie does have a personality. Not one anyone particularly likes, but where Ron's personality belongs is a blank void.

Maybe Ronnie and Chris can commiserate over a couple dozen Krispy Kreme donuts.
