Cruz’s net favorables have gone from +14 in November to +33 now, the best of anyone in the field. And this isn’t just a “New Hampshire thingâ€; as I noted on Friday, it’s true nationally among Republicans as well.
I think it was Rubio’s skewed hairpiece that did it.
Interesting. In one sense, Kasich moving up makes sense. On paper, he has one of the best resumes of any candidate — Chairman of the House Budget Committee during the Gingrich years, governor of a swing state. So at a superficial level, I can see why Kasich should be a serious player. I never understood why Kasich went off the rails into RINO-ism. If he presented a high profile conservative platform as governor and stuck with it as a candidate, he might have been at the top of the polls.
Polls are varying pretty significantly for this state. I think in 4 weeks anything could happen. Plus I do not trust polls in general.
Kasich? The same guy who has no problem with Obama’s Iran treaty?
This has to be a FAKE poll - this son of a mailman has as much chance of taking the WH as John McLettuce had.
So now the GOPe has a candidate tied with Cruz for second-yipeee!(/s!)
Playing right into GOPe hands-nice going Trump(/s).
There's a reason why the GOPe has not yet brought out the heavy artillery (certain things they could use against Trump-that would likely knock him down, if not out).
They want to bring up one of their candidates into second- then they will go all in against him.
He's (Trump) walking right into it.
The super PAC supporting Ohio Gov. John Kasich is planning to spend $11.5 million on television ads in New Hampshire through the February 9 primary, laying down a clear marker in a state Kasich has said is crucial to his campaign's success. The group "New Day for America" reserved $5 million in airtime in New Hampshire and Boston media markets from November through the primary. That's on top of the $6.5 million the group has already bought on-air from July through October.
Nearly $12 million! In a single state. That does not include other costs like staff, travel and lodging. This is versus $2.5 million Trump has spent nationwide, INCLUSIVE of travel.
There’s a big goo-goo vote among NH Republicans. Kasich is the logical choice for them.
A lot of these polls are measuring registered Republicans, but the primary is open and Trump is very very popular with working class Democrats (the old meaning of working class, i.e. they have jobs).

why is kasich stil on the main debate stage? He has less support than Rand Paul
