DURHAM, N.H. --There is no change at the top of the Republican presidential field, but with less than three weeks remaining in the 2016 New Hampshire first-in-the-nation primary campaign, there is both a new runner-up and a tie for third place.

New York businessman Donald Trump, for the first time, has a 20 percentage point lead in the Granite State, according to the latest WMUR/CNN New Hampshire Primary Poll. But U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas has supplanted U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida in second place, while former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has moved up to tie Rubio for third....

If Cruz wins Iowa and places at least second place in New Hampshire it'll get real interesting real fast. I thought the whole "birther" thing was crushing Cruz? Guess not.

Trump has a healthy lead across the US. At first I thought dem crossover was affecting Trump's poll strong results but his huge rally crowds would seem to dispell that theory. Although I will cast my vote for Cruz I would say it is close to being a done deal that Trump gets the Republican nomination.

Can’t wait till they learn multisyllabic words.

I didn't know that and am quite surprised. Of course CA is an electoral lock for the dems.

So who’s boom is better? Cruz’s in this poll, Kasich’s that shows him second, or Jeb’s that shows him second? Because they’re all looking way, way, up at Trump who has a 20 point lead.

CA still has massive EVs. Cruz can win, if the thousands of CA Freepers mobilize.

But California will send 172 delegates to the Republican National Convention.
