A new, independent poll done for NH1 News has Republican Donald Trump well out in front but Jeb Bush slipping into second for the first time in months.
The upward blip for the former Florida Governor Bush comes when the poll surveys both Republicans and independents likely to vote in the Feb. 9 primary.
But in staggering fashion, Trump crushes the field and even more startling he opens up an even bigger lead when only women voters are surveyed.
REACH Communications did the random telephone poll on Thursday of 1,000 Republicans and independents. The margin of error for the poll was plus or minus 3.
When the poll is limited to the 416 Republicans who were sampled, the error margin edges up to 4.1 percent.
Among both political groups, Trump leads with 31.7 percent.
But Bush manages to barely edge his rivals - all within the error margin - with 11.9 percent to 11.8 percent for Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
The tightly bunched pack follows in order with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (11 percent), Texas Senator Ted Cruz (10 percent) and Florida Senator Marco Rubio.
Following further behind are businesswoman Carly Fiorina (5 percent), noted surgeon Ben Carson (4 percent) and Kentucky Senator Rand Paul (3 percent).

I just heard on some show today Christie was “soaring” in NH. Maybe they said snoring?

Whenever you see an Independent poll in NH, IA, SC and NV, it really means Paid For by Mike Murphy poll.
Re. Fox Poll:
I could take any of the top three but would hold my nose for #2 Rubio.
Bush vs Kasich,a real battle of the titans.
How about boaring or boring!
Jeb and Jeb Junior locked in a fight for second loser. Haha!
You mean, not good. like 1 out of a 100?...
I'd say more like 1 out of a million...
So you're telling me there's a chance!
This poll was created by NH1 news cable channel to keep Mike Murphy and the Bush campaign from cancelling any more of their advertising dollars on their TV channel.
This is a highly suspect poll, if it puts Jeb! in 2nd place .... I seriously doubt the numbers ... And I am a Trump supporter.
Lol!
Thanks!
How much has Jebe/Murphy spent on tv ads in NH?
Spending Millions to be the #1 loser!
What would those two do if they actually had to work for a living?
I see the strategy. Jeb knows he is not going to win. Everyone but Trump knows they are not going to win. This is a Bush under Reagan strategy by the GOPe. They all go back to their old bag of tricks, be they Dim to GOPe. New sherif in town though. Trump will not choose some dimwit who would undo everything he does in his terms. Not some bought and paid for political new world order shill jack wagon. We have too many of them in government now. Plus as a bonus, Trump reaaaaaly doesn’t like Jebito.
I think he did Cruz a favor bringing the birth issue now. I think he said to Ted, my researchers say the most likely way to take you out is to birth er you and if you wait for them to bring it up they will destroy you. Said, get ready, I am going to tap your way, not punch... Tap. I am so sure he gave Ted a heads up this was coming. Ted producing the birth certificate to Breitbart shuts attacks on him down, for the most part. Friggin McLame even backed off.
Mark my words POTUS Trump and VP Cruz.
I don’t EVER want to see bush’s name mentioned in the top 4, no less top 2.
I get some peace when I see trump and cruz one and two.
I am for Cruz and to a little lesser extent Trump. I can’t really lose.
with bush second, I CAN really lose. WE CAN really lose.
Fox most latest NH Poll:
Trump leads with 35 percent.
Next is Cruz with 20 percent.
Rubio is 3rd with 13 percent.
Just goes to show you...better take the average of five or six polls to get an idea of what is really happening.
When pigs fly!
Ted will keep bringing out data to shut down the liberals planning to entrap him later on the birth issue.
