Current GOP frontrunner Donald Trump maintains a strong lead in New Hampshire, while establishment pick Jeb Bush has steadily lost support in the early-voting Granite State, says the new NBC News/Marist poll.
Trump is 16 percentage points ahead of his closest competitor, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, and has 28 percent of likely Republican voters backing him.
Dr. Ben Carson came in third place with 11 percent of the vote, while Bush dropped to fourth place at eight percent.

Jeb’s depending on Dems to cross over in the open primaries.
When Hillary looked invincible, that was decent strategy.
We should know fairly soon if SlowJoe or Fauxcahontas are in.
For all of you that don’t think Trump is thinking of winning or looking at his job as POTUS:
President Trump’s Cabinet
Jefferson Sessions as Vice President
Department of State, (return INS.) – John Bolton
Department of Justice - Trey Gowdy (Suggested by The Donald)
Department of Treasury, (includes former Homeland Security, (Customs) – Carl Icahn (Offered and Accepted)
Department of War, (change the name back, include VA function.) – Gen. James Mattis
Department of Interior, (includes legitimate functions only of former Transportation, Homeland Security (Border Patrol,) and Energy Departments) – Gov. Palin
Department of Labor and Commerce – ELIMINATE
Department of Health and Human Services - ELIMINATE
Department of Homeland Security – ELIMINATE
Department of Education - ELIMINATE
Department of Energy – ELIMINATE
Department of Housing and Urban Development – ELIMINATE
Department of Veterans Affairs - ELIMINATE
Department of Agriculture – ELIMINATE
Department of Transportation - ELIMINATE
This proposed model has the President directly managing six subordinates which is optimal.
In non-cabinet level jobs
Sheriff Clarke should be FBI Director
Doctor Benjamin Carson as Surgeon General
Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson would be great as President Trumps Co-Press Secretaries.
Still Crying National Review and Faux News
KristolMeth at National Review is delusional
My father spray painted heavy machinery for 30 years. He would come home completely covered in the paint he sprayed that day. It was before masks etc.
Guess I am qualified too, even more so than the clean work Kasich.
Jeb please continue pushing amnesty and speaking in Spanish while you do so. the illegals love it, but the voters do not,
Cruz wasn’t even in the poll question???
Wondering why Cruz is not running close to Carson...maybe just polling bias???LOL! Yea that must be it.
The old lacquer paints weren’t too bad.
The multi-part paints used now go in the lung and never come out.
Freepers know I am one of Ted Cruz’ biggest supporters and defenders. But I have done a lot of background research on Donald Trump and I believe that he at 69 years of age and Ted at 44 years will and must be the ticket. There has to be a very large margin to overcome the shenanigans that are being planned.
Would it? Remember the alternative is an election where there’s probably a 2/3 chance of President Joe Biden.
Not getting why John Kasich would be in second place. I sense no enthusiasm for him whatsoever.
............
My guess would be that jeb’s people would defect to kasich
“Bush implodes?I didn’t know he had a position to implode from.”
And implosion is sudden; Jeb’s demise has been slower, more like when you slowly let the air out a balloon and it hisses and whines as it deflates to near nothingness.
“Hillary and Jebby....both toast.”
The continuous references to toast keeps making me hungry ...
My ultimate hope is that the two can win, immediately abolish EPA and both DOEs and other Agencies then persuade the states to call an Article 5 Convention. As President Trump will be a dictator because Congress has ceded its power to the Executive and the Courts have ratified it. Trump without Cruz would be a scary proposition.
Kasich has been advertising there, and has a number of top GOP backers and operatives on board there.
Biden, however distant from this administration they have tried to keep him,is not immune from the backlash that is coming from pissed off Americans. Trumps’ numbers bear that out. Deal with it.
Appears we follow the same logical analysis.
Trump and Cruz won’t be able to win all of the social issues. Only an Article V effort by the States can send Roe v. Wade to the States, Same-Sex Marriage to the States, Marbury v. Madison to the States, School Prayer to the States, Dissolution of the US Senate Career Caste System to the States, etc.
Only three amendments are needed: one to provide for recall of US Senators by state legislatures or state voter referendums while repealing the 17th, one to set term limits on US Senators while providing states a ‘30 States Quash’ authority to repeal and void any ruling, directive, law adjudicated or executed by any part of federal government and one to provide a general reference binding the Constitution to a book of resolutions and meanings of terms published by the 201X Article V Convention of States.
All divisive social issues as well as certain derelict budgetary issues can be eviscerated by an Article V ‘American Reformation’ in a matter of weeks because the states proposing are also the states ratifying. There need not be any delay.
For example, Donald Trump can take the United States through a controlled bankruptcy (true bankruptcy is not an option as the United States is sovereign) by pledging the elimination of 8 of 15 departments in exchange for a Balanced Budget Amendment from Congress or from the States via Article V in the event Congress remains derelict. He can also push for ‘deletion’ of all Federal Reserve inspired debt (excluding foreign held federal debt which will remain an obligation) as a condition in exchange for allowing continuance of its position in the concession. Donald Trump can always hold out the specter of eliminating the Federal Reserve itself using State Article V support if necessary. The times call for ‘thinking big’ and these are but a few ‘big things’ to act on.
There are now 37 state legislatures (4 now completed) pushing an identical resolution calling for an Article V COS. This has coalesced in less than a year. The movement is gathering momentum and overcoming resistance. I will say as a person now involved in a state liaison capacity that the movement is transitioning from a ‘possibility’ to a ‘probability’. There is now an active caucus activity among thousands of legislators from enough states to finalize rules of order and procedures for the COS. The caucus portal is only for state legislators but I am making progress to persuade to release an unofficial draft for public release as it shows the seriousness and orderliness of the efforts and thereby builds credibility as to viability and timeliness among the public.
The ‘American Reformation’ is a descriptor I have taken to using that historians can put into reference as the era where abuse and dereliction came to a head and spurred a series of amendments to redress and rebalance powers among federal and state governments and people.
Those that hate Trump need to at least thank him for what is happening to jeb - without Trump, Jeb coasts a lot farther.
