WASHINGTON (CNN) - Donald Trump has a growing lead among likely primary voters in New Hampshire, and both he and Marco Rubio have gained ground in the state since September, according to a new CNN/WMUR poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center.
Overall, 32% say they support Trump (up 6 points since September), with Rubio a distant second place with 14% (up 5 points). That 18-point lead is almost double the 10-point lead Trump held in September over businesswoman Carly Fiorina.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie holds third place in the new poll with 9%, followed closely by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (8%), Ohio Gov. John Kasich (7%), Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (6%), and both businesswoman Carly Fiorina and former neurosurgeon Ben Carson at 5%. Fiorina has dropped 11 points since the September poll.
The New Hampshire poll comes on the heels of CNN/ORC surveys in Iowa and nationally both showing Trump with growing leads over the rest of the GOP field. The poll was conducted almost entirely before Trump issued a policy statement calling for a temporary ban on allowing Muslims who are not U.S. citizens to enter the country.
Nearly 6-in-10 likely New Hampshire Republican primary voters now say they think Trump is most likely to win the GOP primary in the state, up 19 points from 40% saying so in September.

I like how they include Rubio as leading with Trump. Rubio isn’t even close. That is like giving props to the second place guy in a NASCAR race who is over a lap behind the leader.
Trump Rubio lead...
On what planet? It certainly isn’t ours.
Trump has 32% and Rubio has 14%, so Trump and Rubio share the leadership? Trump leads, and by more than 2.25 times the support Rubio has.
Gray noise...
Actually, if the field had only finished 30% of the laps, and Rubio had finished 42.5%, he would then be given equal billing as the guy that had finished 100% of the laps.
Just screwy...
This is nuts.
Correct; they are shameless. Imagine the jaw dropping if the other Republican candidates found their patriotism and unified around Trump ...
the MSM and Washington elites would implode.
We are going to witness how much patriotism still remains in the Republican candidates fairly soon.
I suggest you go read.....America’s Usurper, Obama has been supporting his Muslim brothers and violating The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. On the USCIS web site. In Section 212 Chapter 2, it Prohibits entry into America Aliens belonging to an organization seeking the unlawful overthrow of the federal government of the United States by force, violence and other unconstitutional means.
Islamic immigration would be illegal under this law. Why? The Koran, Sharia Law and the Hadith all require complete submission to Islam. To which are against our values and violate the Constitution as it requires them to kill the infidel, which happens to be citizens of he United States.
Aw gee whatever happened to Jeb Bush. He had all that money from all those supporters and yet very few people will actually vote for him.
He NEVER had a chance and staying in this, only makes him look dumber than we all knew he is.
I like how they include Rubio as leading with Trump. Rubio isn’t even close...
They do the same with Carson, Cruz, etc when they’re just as far behind Trump as Rubio is, on this. It’s a laughable joke to include them on “lead”.
Stump for the Trump, baby!
Trump has a bigger lead over Rubio than Hillary over Sanders wonder what the headlines say?
Christie Surging to 3rd
Headline should say “Trump leads in NH, Rubio a distant second.”
“Trump Rubio lead...
On what planet? It certainly isn’t ours.”
In racing, we would say that Trump was in a different Zip Code!
Good one...
I don’t get this Rubio thing at all.
Who are these Supporters we keep hearing about, Jeb Mini Me lovers?
They have Cruz behind Kasich...that is tough to believe.
