Donald Trump is dominating in two key early-primary states, according to new polls of the states released Tuesday.
A new Public Policy Polling poll of Republican primary voters in New Hampshire found that the real-estate mogul is far ahead of the competition, with 35% saying that they would vote for Trump if the primary were held today.
The closest opponent was Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R), who garnered 11%.
"This is by far the best weve found Donald Trump doing anywhere during his entire surge, Dean Debnam, the president of Public Policy Polling...
The results were similar to a Monmouth University poll of South Carolina Republican primary voters, which showed Trump leading the pack with 30% of the vote. He was trailed by retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who clocked in at a distant second with 15%.
New Hampshire and South Carolina are the first two primary states, taking place after the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses. They are generally seen as crucial states...
Trump took a victory lap on Twitter following the release of the new polls. He also took a shot at Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), a fellow candidate with whom he has been in an ongoing feud:
Congrats @LindseyGrahamSC. You just got 4 points in your home state of SCfar better than zero nationally. Youre only 26 pts behind me. Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 25, 2015
But even that theory appears to be crumbling, at least in New Hampshire.
According to the PPP poll, Trump would trounce his rivals in head-to-head matchups. The survey found that Trump beat out Carson by 8 points, Walker by 18%, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) by 19%, and Bush by 23%.

It’s one of the reasons I support Trump. I think he will take good advice where he finds it, such as from Cruz.
And yes, you are right about Cruz, selfless and a true American patriot.
You can’t handle the truth.
Another for your list: Donald Trump causes Trump Derangement Syndrome.
None of them put out a paper on immigration like Trump. Immigration is a winning issue for those who have the courage to use it.
OAN just came out with a Gravis Marketing poll today and Trump is at 40% with Carson in second at 13%.
The US cannot absorb the current rate of illegal invaders. With barely minimal—in some places not even that—control of our borders we have already lost our sovereignty.
Once in the US, the invaders become super citizens and enjoy rights and privileges undreamed of by, for instance, US citizen veterans. The anti-Trump brigade believes this is sustainable. They are stupid, ignorant and insane.
So why is the GOPe so afraid of him? Why do they want him to take a loyalty oath to the GOPe?
Borrowing :)
Awesome!! Doing the happy dance! Trump 2016!
Woo hoo!
It’s not even close!
LOL. Like peak oil. The current percentages are his floor.
Yeah sure! Trump 2016!
I guess if he is part of the establishment, he is a shoo-in.
Bush will easily get majorities in 8 gope states (states that would not go for the Republican in the Election) when the other Bush shadows drop out at appropriate times and throw their support to Bush.
Both the gopes and the Democrats are busily fixing this whole process in favor of the Moslem Brotherhood/Communist choice, one the Democrats will like, too. I suspect strongly that will be Sock Puppet Biden.
I was passionately for Cruz early on, not so much anymore.
Cruz's recent comments on birthright citizenship was quite disturbing (especially in light of Mark Levin's brilliant expose).
Cruz missed an opportunity early on to pivot to the right of Trump on this illegal invasion.
This Republic destroying illegal invasion is the only issue that matters at this point. If we don't somehow stop it, our Republic will cease to exist.
It astounds me that Cruz or his advisers are too stupid to see this? I truly had high hopes for Cruz. He is too blind to see that Americans are dying for someone to passionately make this the number one issue for their campaign.
Trump's position on this one issue has moved me to his camp.
Someone better nail the windows shut at the RNC. We don’t want those pansies flying out into space :-)
Trump is the cause of Beserk Trump Derangement Syndrome, aka,
BTDS.
CDC is probably studying BTDS now, and we will have marches and telefons to raise money to treat the victims of BTDS.
Liberal Follywood actors will be making PSA tv spots for their fellow liberals suffering from BTDS.
